Cardigan: The Limited

Tank: Old Navy

Jeans: Express

Shoes: Payless Shoes

Necklace: Ann Taylor Loft

This was my last day of work for the company I was contracting with. YAY for new jobs and moving on up!

I picked up this awesome beaded necklace at ATL last week during Friends & Family, plus I had a $15 birthday coupon, so I ended up getting this $40 necklace for $13. Gotta love stores that let you combine coupons! Although it's debut wasn't too inspiring (I was running late and failed to plan ahead!), I see this necklace working into my new work wardrobe fairly often in the weeks to come.

Shirt: The Limited

Tank: Old navy

Jeans: Express

Boots: Steve Madden

Necklaces: Amy Cornwell Designs

This outfit is relatively boring but I couldn't help wanting to show off my new Steve Madden rain boots. They are hunter green with an orange striped zipper up the back - how fun is that?! Makes rainy Saturdays just a tiny bit less disappointing when I can slip these babies on!

Jacket: The Limited

Shirt: The Limited

Jeans: Express

Shoes: Steve Madden

Necklace: New York & Company

I gotta say, I'm kind of in love with this outfit today. May be my new favorite. I picked up this jacket on a trip to SC a few weeks ago and am finally getting around to wearing it before it warms up too much. It's hard to tell in the picture but the sleeves have the most adorable ruching on the arms.

I picked up this necklace over the weekend at New York & Company's 50% off sale. It's much louder than the stuff I usually wear but I'm totally digging it. Wish I had it in black and silver because I'd wear this thing out!

Sweater: The Limited

Tank: The Limited

Jeans: Express

Shoes: Nine West

Necklace: Lia Sophia

Not sure what's up with my crazy hair at the end of the day. This is why I don't take end-of-day pictures! HA!

This cardigan is heavy weight knit so it's perfect for those Spring days that start out chilly and warm up throughout the day.

I should have taken a picture of the tank top underneath. It's a pretty watercolor that reminds me of a Monet. I have a really bad habit of pairing everything with white tank tops because it's easy, so I'm making an effort to branch out with more patterns underneath my cardigans. Definitely think this one is a win!

I wasn't sold on this outfit when I snapped this picture and contemplated changing the tank top out for something else, but was too lazy to figure out what. I ran a bajillion errands and got four separate compliments on my cute outfit. Shows what I know! HA! Sometimes we are our own worst critics.

Necklace: The Limited

I basically refuse to acknowledge the fact that we continue to have below average temperatures here. First with my short sleeves yesterday and today with my open toed booties. I am determined to simply will Spring into being. (I'll let y'all know how that works out for me!).

This sweater is the clothing equivalent of a mullet - business in the front, party in the back. I forgot to take a picture but the back has a black zipper running down the middle from neck to tail (it matches the two black shoulder embellishments). I loved it the minute I saw it at ATL and thought about it for two weeks straight before I finally gave in and bought it while we were on vacation in NYC (so I could cheat and call it a souvenir!).

I love the print on this blouse - it's got all of my favorite colors and it just makes me smile every time I look down at it. I first pictured it with this big pink and orange necklace that I have, but after taking my first picture yesterday I realized the blousy effect of the top plus the cardigan was making me look wide, so I ran upstairs and swapped out the necklace for a belt to tie things in. So funny how things can look find in the mirror but then pictures tell a whole different story!

Denim: The Limited

Bracelet: Express

Necklaces: Amy Cornwell Designs

I had another office day with the boss today. It's still in the 40's here but I'm doing my best to ignore it and pretend that it's still Spring! This sweater is the perfect transition piece for these not-so-warm days. It's three quarter length sleeves are a nod to my need not to cover up but the super thick fabric keeps the parts of me that are covered warm! Who doesn't love a good compromise?

Dress: The Limited

Tights: Hue

Shoes: Nine West via Shoe Woo in NYC

Necklaces: The Limited

Cheating a little with the sweater dress for church today. But it's warm and easy and it bought me an extra 15 minutes of sleep this cold morning!

I picked up these peep-toe heels during our last trip to New York City. I am just now getting to debut them and already I'm in love. Two compliments at church (from strangers, no less!) in the 1.5 hours I wore them. I'm thinking these babies are going to see a lot of action in the weeks to come!

Top: New York & Company

Jeggings: Banana Republic

Boots: via Endless.com

Scarf: New York & Company

I spent the day running errands and then off to small group. It was actually a little too chilly for this thin cotton shirt but I was feeling the pink scarf and just built the rest of the outfit from there. I spent half the winter looking for the perfect red plaid lumberjack button down but never could find anything I loved that fit well.

On a side note: What's up with putting pockets on the front of everything lately? What woman walks around with stuff in a breast pocket? End rant.

Boots: Rocket Dog

Necklace: Lia Sophia

Well, the break was nice while it lasted but it appears Old Man Winter has returned to my little corner of the world. We've been enjoying 60 degree weather but the high today was mid-30's and there's snow in the forecast for tomorrow. Awesome.

I'm trying to look on the bright side: I have one last chance to wear all my favorite winter pieces, like these Rocket Dog boots.

Even snow clouds have a silver lining.

Jacket: The Limited

Skirt: The Limited

Belt: Came with the jacket

Shoes: Sam & Libby

I had a client meeting this afternoon so it gave me an excuse to dust off my favorite "Wow 'em" jacket and dress up a little bit. I love that this outfit is professional enough for the business environment but still manages to show some personality and femininity. I have a hard time finding suiting that doesn't make me look like a big old rectangle, so when I find something I love that actually works, I wear it out!

Church this morning. We're enjoying slightly warmer weather but still chilly enough to need the sweater dress. (Of course!) I love the stripes on this dress. And who doesn't love a one piece dress that looks like it actually took some thought to put together?

Jeggings: Express

Shoes: Payless Shoes

Necklace: New York & Company

Headband: New York & Company

I had a haircut appointment on Saturday morning, so I was rocking the headband in the morning. I don't do it very often because I don't like the way they look on me, but I picked this one up for $2.00 and I actually really like it.

I am also loving this super cheap necklace I picked up this week. It's got silver 'feathers' and makes me feel kind of bad-ass. (You gotta take it where you can get it!)

Sweater: The Limited

I had a client meeting Friday morning and then another business-type meeting in the afternoon. I needed something that could easily take me from a casual business environment to one where I probably should have been wearing a suit. I was also pretty stoked to finally be able to go without tights. YAY for Spring (or at least Spring-like weather!)
