Shoes: Payless Shoes

Bracelets: Simply Irresistible

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!

Sweater: The Limited

Tank: Gap

Denim: The Limited

Shoes: Steve Madden

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.

Cardigan: Ann Taylor Loft

Tank: Old Navy

Jeggings: Banana Republic

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!

Dress: The Limited

Shoes: Aldo Shoes

Necklace: Simply Irresistible

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?

Top: The Limited

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!)

Dress: Ann Taylor Loft

Sweater: The Limited

Shoes: Sam & Libby

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!)

Cardigan: Old Navy

Tank: Express

Jeggings: Banana Republic

Boots: Charles David

Necklace: New York & Company

I've always had a love affair with stripes and the fact that they are 'in' this season has only exacerbated the problem. And if it's black and white stripes? Forgetaboutit. That baby's coming home with me!

I was hooked the minute I saw this grandpa cardigan at Old Navy. I've worn it at least once a week since I bought it back in February. And if you know me, you know that's not normal. That's true love.
