A Good Friday

I wore this outfit out to dinner with a friend last week, casual but put together (I hope!)... today I'm off from work and it's so nice to have a random day during the week to get stuff done.  Hope you all have a great weekend and Happy Easter if you celebrate!

Night on the Town

Outfit Breakdown:

Dress: ASOS Link! Pink, size 8 only

Pants: Cotton On

Shoes: Target

Cardigan: Marshalls

Earrings: Nicole Neeb

I wore this out this past weekend for my friends birthday in Hoboken.  I got these pants a while ago, I wanted to try the (p)leather pant trend but didn't want to spend a lot of money because I wasn't sure if it would look good on me.  These pants were super cheap and I like them with a longer top BUT they are very noisy haha.  When I walk they "squeak squeak squeak"... so they sat in my drawer. 
We went to Wicked Wolf, and I knew it would be loud, so I was able to finally break them out! Haha ;)

Tough and Girly

Outfit Breakdown:

Shirt: ASOS Link! limited sizes in black

Tank: Loft

Jeans: Gap Link!

Shoes: American Eagle Outfitters

Bracelet: Banana Republic, gift

I wore this outfit out at night last week for a drink and I like the mix of feminine on top and more of a tough look on the bottom.  I just got these boyfriend jeans at the gap and they are very comfortable and they aren't too baggy like some boyfriend jeans can be!  Looking at the pictures now, I'm not sure if I love them with these shoes... oh well, too late ;)
I have worn this shirt a few times before on the blog (and even more off the blog) and it's easily one of my favorite purchases this year, unfortunately it's not left in many sizes and only in black... but if you're really small on top go get it!!

Dress: Victoria's Secret

Tights: Target

Shoes: Payless

Scarf: Loft

Sorry for the unintended blogging break, last week was so busy and I didn't have time to upload pictures!  Anyway, this outfit was worn last week (spring where are you!?) and I played around with different grays and metallics.  I like the way it came out!

Glasses

Outfit Breakdown:

Shirt: Zara

Cardigan: Loft

Pants: Jcrew 

Shoes: Naturalizer, $3 garage sale find

I have this illness where anytime I see something with glasses on it, I buy it.  I feel like it's my duty as an eye doctor.  But really, how many glasses things do I need?  I probably have four or five neaklaces of glasses.  I saw this top last year on Zara's website and before I knew it, it was in my "cart" and I was putting in my credit card number... oh well it's cute ;)

Genius

Outfit Breakdown:

Dress: Anthropologie, old

Cardigan: Marshalls

Booties: Target

Tank: Target

I love this dress I got a couple years ago at Anthro but it's pretty low cut so I don't usually wear it to work.  Then I had a brilliant idea to layer it over a tank and wear a cardigan (I know, I know... it's genius).  It's hard to appreciate the color of this dress with my crappy iPhone pics but it's really one of my favorite color blues! 
I decided to wear a more sheer set of black tights since it's getting a bit warmer out but still isn't warm enough for bare legs.  I like the contrast!

Royal Look

Outfit Breakdown:

Shirt: French Connection Link! (only available in black in size 12)

Cardigan: Loft

Pants: BCBG, old

Shoes: Banana Republic, old

In my closet cleanout last weekend (where I didn't really get rid of anything) I discovered a few things I hadn't worn yet this winter... mostly I haven't been wearing stiletto heels to work very often.  I've given myself over to feeling comfortable, but sometimes I feel like I might be lacking a bit in professionalism. 

I also mostly wear cropped pants, it's easy because I can wear any shoe or I can tuck them into boots.  But looking at these pictures, I do feel like my body type looks better in this type of dress pant.  So, might be trying to wear this look a bit more often!

I've worn this top before on the blog, but since I have worn it last, I've found out that Kate Middleton wore the this top in navy for her first royal portrait!  I know it's silly, but I feel "cool" to have something Kate has worn ;)
