Casual Friday/Red & Tan

TGIF!!! I hope everyone has great plans for the weekend. I plan to relax and enjoy the time away from work.

When I first saw this dress on the Gap website I knew I had to have it! It’s the perfect spring/summer dress for work. The cotton material is comfortable and light. The dress reminds me of the 50s style dresses with the fitted bodice and full skirt. The red stripes really make the dress and give it that pop of color. I was lucky that my Ann Taylor Loft cardigan matched perfectly with the red stripes!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Say Yes!!!

Good afternoon everyone! My co-worker Candice will be the first person to tell you she shies away from color but today she came into the office wearing this wonderful red blazer! According to Candice, wearing red is a huge step out of her comfort zone. I’m glad Candace decided to feel brave enough to wear the blazer. Doesn’t she look great?!!! Have a wonderful day!!! 20120419-100840.jpg

Daydreaming Takes Me Where I Want To Be

Happy Monday all! Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. I took full advantage of the the warm weather and hung out with my goddaughter Skylar on Saturday. We had fun eating ice cream and being silly!

Lately, I’ve been daydreaming about taking a beach vacation. My last beach vacation was Grand Cayman in 2010, so I’m seriously overdue for a relaxing break. My outfit today is inspired by my need for a vacation. When I’m on vacation, I like to wear comfortable and colorful clothing. So, I decided to go for a nautical look by pairing my white trouser jeans and light blue striped shirt together. I added my pink blazer for a pop of color. I finished the look off with my 5 year old yellow wedges. Although I’m dressed for the office, I can pretend I’m on vacation!

What have you been daydreaming about? Have a great evening!

TGIF everybody! I can’t wait to get out this weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather. Do you have any plans for the warm weekend?

Last night while watching “Scandal” (which is AWESOME!!!) I was flipping through the May issue of Glamour when I came upon their “Month of Outfits” feature. In the feature one of models was wearing a sweater and belt over her dress. I thought to myself “I should do that!” I’ve been wanting to wear my floral maxi dress but its been too cool to comfortably wear it. I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to wear the dress with my purple 3/4 length sweater over it. I belted the sweater to define my waist and added my chunky necklace to go with the green in my skirt.

Would you try this? Have a great weekend!

Chasing the Clouds Away

Happy Hump Day everyone! How is your week going so far? Mine hasn’t been too bad. I’m looking forward to the weekend and the gorgeous weather that has been predicted.

For the past couple of days, its been looking and feeling like late Fall here in Philly. The cloudy and cold weather was kinda getting me down, so I decided to wear something bright and colorful today. After searching my closet I came up with this outfit. I had bought the pants a few months ago from Nordstroms but I shelved them because they were too big in the waist which was causing the crotch to droop (which wasn’t very attractive!). After weeks of procrastinating (ok months!), I finally took the pants to the tailor to have them fixed. The crotch still droops a little but its an improvement from what it used to look like. I added my blue blazer (best purchase I made this year!) and my yellow blouse to achieve my look. I added gold accessories to compliment the yellow blouse and red pants. I think I did a pretty good job brightening up my day with my outfit!

What do you wear to chase the clouds away? Have a great evening!
