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.

We went to the local elementary school carnival this evening and then out to a late dinner date. Yes, I know it's weird that we went to the carnival when we, um, don't have any kids, let alone school age ones, but what can I say? We love our neighbor kids who invited us. That, and I really wanted a cake at the cakewalk. Except this school carnival didn't have a cakewalk. Hello? What kind of school carnival doesn't have a cakewalk? I had to settle for a cupcake from the bake sale instead. Probably better for my waistline anyway.

On to the fashion part of the post. That is why you are here, right? My new flat brown boots are making their debut today. I got many fabulous options from you guys when I mentioned the Great Boot Hunt of 2010. It's amazing how a little challenge brings the lurkers out of the woodwork! While no one suggested these particular boots, several of you sent me links to boots on Endless.com (one of my favorite sites!) and while browsing those links, I ran across these. They are a little more burgundy than what I originally envisioned, but I loved the stud details on the back. And they had my size. And they were on sale. I actually ordered these and a pair of Steve Madden's, but the SM's turned out to be too small. That's the fabulous thing about Endless - free shipping and returns, so you're never afraid to take a risk and order something that you're not entirely sure about! A few of my other favorite online stores should consider this policy - I'm looking at you, Victoria's Secret!

See Sara Shop

On my lunch break at Starbucks and I'm supposed to be job hunting....but the siren call of the dozen sale alert emails in my inbox lured me astray. I resisted the urge at Victoria's Secret, successfully fought the impulse at Best Buy, and conquered my desire at The Limited. But my self control ran out when I found these Madden Girl boots in gray suede over at Endless. It was the free overnight shipping that did me in! Order today and get it tomorrow? Who can resist?

As most of you already know, I am headed back to the office after a wonderful two years as a telecommuter. No more yoga pants, tank tops and hoodies for me! I am rediscovering my work wardrobe one day at a time.

The fashion blogs in my sidebar have inspired me to look at my clothes in a different way, to experiment, take risks and try new things. I love seeing how other lovely ladies shop on a budget and put their own unique flair to the current trends. Now that I have a reason to get dressed every day, I thought I'd join the fun.


As I was getting dressed this morning, I realized that I rarely ever wear navy during the fall and winter, but I wear it all summer long. These Steve Madden pumps are super comfortable, despite their four inch heel. I wish I had them in more colors!

I love the way these gold earrings echo the flower pattern in the top. I felt a little naked today in the jewelry department. Normally I would have put a cute gold bangle or two with this, but since I am still in training I didn't want to annoy anyone with jingly-jangly jewelry. Starting tomorrow I'll be off on my own in a separate building, so I can wear as much obnoxiously loud jewelry as I please!
