Something’s Gotta Give

Happy Hump Day all!

In “Something’s Gotta Give” (one of my favorite romantic comedies) there’s scene where Diane Keaton is wearing this fabulous white suit while confronting Jack Nicholson’s character at a restaurant.  After seeing her in that suit, I wanted one of my own.   Unfortunately back then  the thought of wearing all white scared the hell out of me, so I shelved my white suit dreams.  Now wearing all white is no longer  a taboo for me.  This morning, I  put together pieces in my wardrobe  and decided to make my white suit dreams come true!

Would you wear a white suit?

Have a great day!

Casual Friday/Back in the Saddle

TGIF all!

I finally returned to work  this week after jury duty and I have to say I was glad to be back!  I’m pretty autonomous at my job so I missed being able to work at my own pace. Luckily there wasn’t a huge pile of work waiting  for me  so it easy to get back into the swing of things.   Another thing I missed was dressing up for work.  Don’t get me wrong, I love being casual but I also love wearing a cute work outfit with a great pair of shoes!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Gotta Have it for Spring

Happy Monday all!

Since I’ve been home recuperating from gallbladder surgery (I’ll be back to work on Thursday), I have been scouring the web for Spring must haves. I picked the items below because I know I’ll get a lot of use throughout the Spring and Summer. I haven’t had a good Spring trench coat in years so that was high on my list. The maxi dress and ankle pants can be worn with blazers and colorful cardigans as the weather warms. The chevron skirt can’t be worn now with opaque tights and my faux leather jacket. As for the flats, who can resist a pair of yellow ones?! I often use yellow as a neutral in many of my outfits so they will get a lot of wear. I’ve been wanting sliver heels because they are a great substitute for white shoes (which don’t look so good on me! LOL).

What are some of your Spring must haves?

Have a great day!

Dear Santa…

Happy Monday all!

My 8-year-old goddaughter still believes in Santa Claus (she told me so over dinner two weeks ago) so that got me to thinking…what if Santa was real? I’ve been a little naughty this year but overall I was  a good girl so  here’s my Christmas Wish list!

Coach
Coach by bxphlgal featuring a travel tote

Santa this vibrant Coach tote would make me smile everyday and not be a Grinch when its cold outside! Plus its roomy enough  to carry  all my Christmas gifts! (okay I know that’s laying it on a little thick Santa).

Talbots
 
 

Santa  I NEED this coat like yesterday! The color is vibrant and  a great alternative to my old black coat.   Santa can’t you see me wearing my yellow Coach tote with this coat?! OMG!

Ann Taylor

What girl doesn’t like a little sparkle Santa?! This necklace is gorgeous! P.S. Tell Mrs. Claus to keep her paws off!

Vince Camuto

Santa you know how much I love a great black and white print!  This blouse would be perfect with my leather pencil skirt or red trousers.  I expect this number under the Christmas tree or no cookies for you!

Whats on your Christmas Wish list?

Have a wonderful day!

Casual Friday/White Out

TGIF!

If you havent noticed yet, its BLAZING hot outside! Dressing for work during a heat wave can be challenging . Its been said that wearing light colors keeps you cool because it doesn’t absorb heat. With that in mind, what better color to wear in this massive heat wave but ALL WHITE!

I paired my white trouser jeans from Talbots Woman with my cowl neck H&M tee. I wore wedges to keep the hem of my pants from dragging on the pavement. I added my new multicolored beaded Old Navy necklace for some color ( I can’t go without color!). When I got to work, I wore my denim blazer to keep with the casual Friday dress code.

How are you keeping cool while dressing for work?

Have a wonderful weekend!!
