Suit: The Limited

Tank: Banana Republic

Shoes: Steve Madden

Necklace: Simply Irresistible

Bracelets: Gifted

I had a 'Welcome to the Company' introduction with the Chief Procurement Officer for my new company today, so of course I wanted to dress to impress. It was a fabulous meeting and if he's really believes half of what he espouses, he and I will get along famously.

I love the unexpected color combination in this tweed suit. It's totally outside of my normal comfort zone but I think it's a fun way to get dressed up when necessary. My closet is full of basic black suiting pieces, so it's nice to look in that section and see a bit of color now!

Jeans: Levi's

Shoes: Nine West

Earrings: ?

Bangles: Claire's

The high here today was only 65, not to mention it was rather breezy, so I took the opportunity to wear one of my favorite cardigans. I love the bright summery color and it's light weight enough that I can wear it year round - over a tank for the summer or layer it up over a long sleeve shirt for winter.

For some reason these jeans make my legs feel a mile long. Not something I'm used to since I'm only 5'4''. Sadly, I realized they are now too big in the hip/waist area, so today might be their last outing for awhile. Yeah for The 30 Day Shred!

Dress: Express

Tank: New York & Company

Necklace: The Limited

Shoes: Nine West

Bracelet: NYC street vendor

Lola: Tennessee puppy farm

Hope you guys like dogs, because this girl didn't have time to crop pictures tonight. Lola looks like she wants to join in the dressing up fun, doesn't she?

I got this dress a few years ago during the Express Box Sale - for $7.99. If you shop at Express, you know their dresses start at like $69.50. I consider that a steal!

I love to wear dresses and be all girly but I hate to show my knees. I'm just not a big fan of the way they look in a dress. But the short person in me knows that it's the best length on these stubby little stems, so I try to overcome it. (A tan might help!)
