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.

I'm back home after a wonderful week with my loved ones in SC. I've been a bit spoiled seeing my family twice in November, all last week and again in just 9 days! I will be one sad girl in January when all the fun is over.

We had a busy day out and about yesterday despite the yucky weather. After a full morning, we met my bestie and her husband at a sports bar to watch the Steelers/Bengals game. Lucky for me, the Colts played on Thursday night so I didn't feel too bad supporting Nate's team in my Steelers tee. Although I did manage to cover it up just a tiny bit! HA! Can't be too unfaithful to my boys in Blue.

We had our small group Christmas dinner at a Brazilian restaurant downtown tonight. For weeks now I've been planning to try out my new sparkly tweed Express shorts with tights. Imagine my immense disappointment when I woke up this morning to driving snow that just never quit. Four inches of snow and four inch heels just don't mix. Boo.

So it was on to Plan B. Slightly less dressy but much warmer and less dangerous! Turns out Plan B was a blessing in disguise - the roomy dress came in very handy when I ate my weight in cheddar cheese puff biscuits at dinner!

I was also debuting my new blunt bangs. I went in for a trim this morning and decided there was no time like the present to give them a try. Don't know how long they'll last but at least I can finally say I gave them a go!

I spent the morning at our church, organizing the filing cabinets for the sports pastor. It was a monumental task, for sure, but organizing is one of my favorite things to do. Give me a stack of file folders and a label maker and I am one happy girl.

After a hard morning's work, I figured I deserved a little reward, so I took myself to the mall to look for my new favorite Express jeans in a Regular length. Sadly, the trip was unsuccessful (they had 15 pairs in Tall, but nary a Regular in sight!), but I got four separate compliments on my necklace! Nothing like a compliment, or four, to make a girl's day!

It's SUPER BOWL time, baby! The Colts are in it to win it and I'm supporting our Boys in Blue!

This is what I wore to church. I almost wore my jersey, but decided to go a little more dressed up instead. I needn't have worried - even the senior pastor was wearing his jersey! This town is crazy for their Super Bowl football team!

I'm switching to the jersey tonight as a cheer on Peyton and Co. Go Colts!

First, let's start with the hair - it has been gray and nasty for literally days here. I have completely forgotten what the sun looks like. The constant drizzle and cold has made my hair a limp, nasty mess. Blah.

Second, after several days of not leaving the house, you'd think I'd be ecstatic to get dressed up for date night. In theory, this is correct. In my dreams, I had lofty plans for a sexy date night look. In practice, I spent too much time looking for a job playing around on the internet and left myself too little time to get dressed. This was the result. Try not to judge too harshly.

Leggings: Kohls

It's still cold and snowy here and I had plans to shop with a girlfriend after work, so I knew staying warm and wearing comfortable all day shoes was an absolute must. I paired a longer dress with knee high flat boots and realized I could 'cheat' with the tights and swap them out for actual leggings - hello toasty warmth all day long!! I will definitely have to remember this trick for those cold days ahead.

The dress is actually a wrap dress that's made to tie in the front. I just wound the ties around my waist twice and tucked the ties back into the 'belt' it made, then covered the whole thing with a wider black belt. I really like the way it looks and think it adds that little extra 'something' to break up the bold pattern of the dress.

TGIF!! I swear this has been the longest week, and not a day off or vacation in sight yet!

Layering up again today, so I can alternate between my coat, cardigan and short sleeves as the office heater continues its schizophrenic ways. I picked up this t-shirt at New York & Company on Black Friday for a whopping $3.00. It's not my normal style but I'm kind of digging it. I immediately thought of pairing it with this fun ribbon-wrapped necklace that I don't get to wear very often and knew I had a winning combination.
