OOTD-Sparkle Saturday

This sweater has been hanging on the front of my bedroom door since the last time I wore it (in this post). I feel happy just to see it give me a little shimmer. I would wear it pretty much every day if I could, but then that might be a bit weird if I show up at work in the same thing and I'm sure you guys would get tired of seeing it over and over again. The same goes for these jeans as I think they could work with a million things.

The weather was perfect for just wearing my fun sweater and I thought pops of color all around would be perfect. I got so into color that new nail polish was purchased and now my tootsies are bright blue just so I can be well on my way to being a Crayola color explosion.

Are you into the colored denim trend? If you are, what color would you go for?

OOTD-Warm Weather Confusion

Spring decided to give us a sneak preview yesterday and what do I wear, cashmere and corduroys. As much as I love spring, I don't want winter to quit on me yet because I still have a sweater I want to wear. How selfish of me to deprive others of sunshine fun? :)

In addition to yesterday's lovely weather, it was even better because I got my Girl Scout cookie order in and I dragged my butt to the gym for zumba. I'm not sure if those two things really mix well together, but it made me a happy camper.

On another note, do you see the Starbucks bag that I'm holding in the pics? That is my camera bag. No, seriously. I looked at the bag selection in Staples the other day and instantly frowned up my face. No offense to the perfectly functional sea of black bags I saw, but I need something cuter. Does anyone out there have a recommendation for a nice looking camera case/bag? A girl needs some pizazz.

OOTD- Playing Pretend, A Day On the Beach

Sometimes the best laid plans can go not quite as you expect. Don't you hate when that happens? The plan was to head to the airport, book a ticket on the next plane leaving for a tropical island with warm weather and swaying palm trees, then hop on and get out of town. Since the money fairy forgot to deposit the money in my wallet, it didn't quite work out, so I did the next best thing. The bf and I headed out to lunch at a sushi place in the city that was recently voted best of by a local paper, but when we got there they were closed for some kind of event. Since we didn't want to wait about 2 hrs until we could get in, we headed to a local hole in the wall restaurant with some yummy fried fish and sides. I couldn't complain with a great meal in hand and the chance to pose in front of this little gem of a mural on the side of a building. I got to play pretend just for a second and imagine that those palm trees were for real.

This outfit was just a random assortment of items that I threw on because I only cared about wearing my new shoes. I scored these wedges during a recent sale from ASOS; I love me a good wedge shoe. If it makes me feel like a super tall amazon and lets me walk in comfort, then I am all for it. One other fun new addition is my humongous a** ring from F21. I got this in the mail last week and my first thought was, perhaps I should start reading the measurements on the jewelry items. Have you ever ordered something and was completely shocked at how it look when you got it?

Outfit Details:
Burgundy leather jacket- Forever 21 (super old)
Turquoise tee- Marc by Marc Jacobs
Skinny denim jeans- Levi's
Wedge boots- ASOS (similar here)
Purple ring- Forever 21 (something similar here, similar color here)
Handbag- Louis Vuitton

Outfit of the Day- A Little Animal Kingdom in the Day

My friend and I went to a launch party for an organization this evening and the attire called for something photo ready. I had to make sure I was appropriate for work, but thought a little animal print would allow for some pizazz come evening time.

Outfit Details:

Black sweatshirt blazer- Limited

Purple v-neck tee- J Crew

Knit zebra print skirt- Diane von Furstenburg (secondhand)

Black peep toe lace up wedges- yesstyle.com

Gold watch- Nixon

Black handbag- Foley + Corinna City Tote

All of the pieces in this outfit were incredibly comfortable and I managed to last a full day without these new shoes giving me problems. Wedges are a must-have for me to prevent doing the weeble-wobble in heels.

Although I have pretty nice eyelashes, I had the opportunity to try some false lashes. This was my first time and I must say it's quite lash-tastic. I feel like batting my eyes, but that would be weird since it's just me here. :)

It was a fun girl's evening out and I have to give a shout-out to Michele for being a wonderful paparazzi photographer this evening!
