New Work ID

So, today I have to go take a new photo id for work. I work for the state as an engineering project manager for highway planning projects. Since i got married more than a year ago now.. i still have not gotten a new ID.. although, I have tried to get a new ID 2 or 3 times so far.. the first time, I didnt have my drivers license changed so they wouldnt accept changing my work ID.. the next time, I got the paper signed, but I let it expire.. and i think i did that the third time too.. but today!!! i am going to get it... wish me luck..

I figured that this would be an outfit that i would like to see over and over again for a very long time.. i even add some makeup today... hopefully that will help the picture some too..

Todays Outfit

pink cardi - Avenue

creme tank - Ashley Stewart

denim pants - Avenue

clogs - Nordstrom

and I have on pink socks, lol.. i like to wear colored socks or striped socks or printed socks.... its like a secret that only I know.. except when i have on clogs (like today) and you can see my heels... lol... or when i take my shoes off ofcourse..

and this was my coat.. i luv luv this coat. it ha ssuch girly details...

OK.. so I have all these fancy cameras.. but the pics are still turning out grainy.. what settings are folks using for their pics? what do I need to change.. some of the other blogs that I have seen have some of the best pics.. Imma have to see whats out there .. i know someone has written an article.. has a webpage.. or created a youtube about taking good blogger pics... when i figure it out.. maybe I will make an article, webpage (probably not).. or a youtube!!!

have a great day ladies.. and gents (hi hubby!!! I know your reading, lol)

OOpsy Thursday

Today's outfit was another summer remix.. this is an old skirt that I have had for awhile.. and since we are pulling out summer items and wearing them in the winter, i thought this was a perfect skirt...

Today's Outfit

Black sweater - Target

Summer print skirt - Macys

Booties - Nine West

Tights - Nordstrom

Yellow pashmina - hmmmm, maybe a stand in the mall.. who knows

Now here is the "oopsy"... ... ... wait for it... ... ...these tights are actually NAVY BLUE! LOL.. there is clearly not enough light in my bedroom, and I actually went into the hallway (so as not to wake hubby at 5:45am) ... and i thought i checked the color.. but i checked the color against a brown pair of tights... so they look black.. but when i got downstairs to actually take my pic.. i realized that the tights were actually navy blue.. I said, oh well.. i am wearing them anyway.. and I DARE anyone to comment. (which i know they wont..cuz even in the pics, you cant even tell that they are not black) Plus I sit under a desk all day.. surely no one is going under there to look...lol.

Best Friend Blog 1

So this is one of my BFFs.. she wasnt ready to actually blog herself so she asked me to write something.. maybe next time she will write this segment. But any who... I have known her since the 7th grad. yea, a loooooong time... she is really one of my fashion buddies.. she gets me in waaaay to much shopping trouble.. its amazing though.. cuz sometimes we have exactly the same fashion taste.. and then other times we are polar opposites... maybe she will share some of her fashions with you all later...

BFF outfit

Black dress - NY & Co

Pink turtle neck - NY&Co

Grey/black faded long cardi - Fashion Bug

Black tights - Nordstrom

Black boots - NineWest

Same coat today

Today's outfit was pretty regular.. I havent worn this shrug/cardi/ blah blah in a long time.. I have no idea why i dont pull it out more. i actually like it. It has a fun color combo although you cant really see it in these pics. the colors are actually - yellow, red and orange. I really need to work on the settings for my camera to get the clarity and the colors to work right. Evanadine gave me the suggestion to take pics in the daylight (that doesnt work for me cuz, i leave home before the sun comes up.. and I get home after the sun has gone down.. maybe in the spring I will be able to get a few daylight shots)

Today's outfit

Yellow short sleeve turtleneck - NY&Co

Brown Slacks - JC Penny

Green argyle short cardi - LaneBryant

Brown Boots - NineWest

This was my attempt at showing you the colors in the sweater.. it didnt work out to well, cuz the flash was to bright .. adn then i tried to adjust the brightness with some program in the computer... I have all this fancy equipment.. and I cant get it to work. I think i need to take a camera class.. (I have been sayign this since i got that fancy new camera, which is really awesome if I couldget it to work for me)...

what do you do to make your pics come out so perfect???? i'm struggling on this one.

statement necklace anyone?

Well, this is the coat that I wore today.. its probably waaay to bright for this color dress.. but i felt bright and sunny, i guess... The coat is actually orange, but it looks coral in the pics..

Dress - Rainbow Plus

Belt - Ashley Stewart

Tights - Nordstrom

Necklace - Ashley Stewart

Boots - Macys

So, this is the statement necklace.. i really think it was a wrong choice for today.. its to big.. and a little gaudy..and its so big that my neck was hurting halfway through the day... but you know how we do.. i stuck it out and refused to take it off until i got home.aaaahh, relief.. not sure if you all will get to see this one again.. this necklace may go in the giveaway bag.

Was this the wrong necklace? what would you have worn with this dress and outfit?

Errands and a new tripod

I have two cameras.. a casio exilm (which i love) .. and a much more fabulous cannon eos slr (or something like that.. but is a fancy smancy something or other).. but TODAY.. i got something that will hopefully make all of my future photos amazing.. wait for it... a tripod. ta daaaaaa! so now hopefully my pics will be a lot better.. and maybe even a few of them will be clear.

Today was a pretty laid back day. I had lunch with one of my BFFs (they read my blog only occassionaly.. maybe they will come visit one day or dare i say even be a guest blogger one day, we'll see)... got some alterations done at the dry cleaner.. returned a few things and bought some more.. and all the while, i did it in this little number....

black turtleneck - Avenue

black studded leggins - Macys

dress - NY & Co

(i really like the idea of a summer dress in the winter.. talk about wardrobe expansion.. its pretty cool.. and cute)

black boots - NineWest (I shoulda took a good close up pic of these boots.. they are so cute.. maybe later)
