I was snowed in.... kind of!

Did ya miss me??

Well I didnt make it to work on Wednesday due to the sleet/snow/icy stuff - So no picture.. and although I made it to work on Thursday.. I had some digging to do in the AM so picture taking wasnt really on my agenda.  

But today - TA-DAAAAA!

I know, nothing exciting. Especially for a Friday. But I have a meeting, so boring Friday it is...

cardi - Ashley Stewart; pants - ??; necklace - my Neice.. who just had a 15th Birthday on Wednesday.... and after all these years, its still snowing on her birthday, lol.  She was born in the Blizzard of 1996.. and that snow comes around every year to celebrate with her.  Hatsy Burfday Bree! Over the weekend, maybe she will let me catch a pic of her and her friends at her sleepover this weekend.

Saturday recap ... and TODAY

SATURDAY

I went to my book club meeting. We had a nice lunch at a local resturaunt called Bo Brooks. I had been to this place before, so I was a little surprised when none of us enjoyed our meals. I mean, it was edible, but not delicious.  We were all a little disappointed.  However, there was a silver linning. All of the members were there (with the exception of one - hope everyone is feelin better in that house). So we had a full meeting.  Ofcourse the usual folks were late, but that's to be expected. And then we had our annual Christmas Gift Exchange.  I got a lovely silver Dereon bowling style handbag. It was nice and I cant wait to wear it when the season breaks.. this may very well be my Spring bag.. so you'll see it soon enough!

tshirt - Kmart; open cardi - ??; camo skinnies - Dots; necklace - Burlington; boots - Nordstrom

 TODAY
Off to work, and still no shoes. I could not figure out what to put on my feet, so I just took the picture in socks again.  I ended up wearing sneakers (I know... lazy! I think I need to go shoe shopping)

I couldnt believe that I had to change this outfit at the last minute.  Well this is what I changed into. I had another top on this morning... but I had no idea that it didnt fit until I put it on.  I had been looking at that outfit for the last 2 or 3 weeks, and just rolling it over and then this morning, I decided to wear it.. and the poncho top didnt fit.. aauuurrrgh! SO .. I went to this wonderful brown cardi.. a great " go to" work outfit. Im sure you've seen it before.. and Im sure you'll see it again!

twinset - DressBarn; pants - K&G; necklace - NY&Co



Its finally here ... FRIDAY!

Its FRIIIIIDAAAAAAAYYYYY!!

Can you tell that I am excited? Work has been pretty busy this week, so I just need to relax and let my hair down. (not literally) Im so excited for the weekend.  Although I have a busy and full weekend, Im still excited to be able to destress and do some fun stuff. 

The weekend starts tonight with dinner with my sorority sisters.  Thats gonna be fun. our dinner theme is "Financial Savvy" We are making in expensive dishes that stretch ... we have stuff like tex mex soup (kind of like a chilli), vegetables, strawberries and coolwhip for dessert. We even agreed to wear an outfit or item of clothing that we got for a great deal... I am wearing leggings from Loop 18.. original price $20+.. I paid $1.98. Can you say SCOOOOORE!!!!

And then tomorrow is our Book Club meeting.  We finally get to exchange our gifts from Christmas. Fun Fun FUUUUUUN! I still need to decide what I am going to give in the gift exchange. I bought something awhile back, but Im thinking that I want to get something else.  So, we'll see.. The meeting tomorow is not until 4p, so I have time in the morning to get something else if I want to. Which I probablywill.. Maybe BFF Court will run to the mall with me. (I know she is reading this, lol)

Enjoy your weekend, too!

Yesterday and Today : work weather days

Just a regular work week for me.  I have been pretty low key on the fashion scene this week. Most of my outfits are actually pretty casual. But since its nasty out, Im blaming my fashion sense on the weather.
YESTERDAY:

sweater - Macys; Huby jeans - Fashion Bug; tall riding boots - Avenue

TODAY:
I had to get a little dressed up for a meeting this afternoon. But Im still pretty comfortable.  I need to get out here on the blogosphere, cuz I need some inspiration. What are yall wearing to work in this weather? I'd like to wear more dresses and skirts, but I just cant bring myself to put on a dress or skirt since its so cold.  We'll see .. maybe next week.

red top and pants - Lane Bryant; leopard cardi - Fashion Bug

Nope, im still not wearing shoes in my pic... as long as I have to wear those yucky construction boots in the snow to work, I'll just take my morning pics with no shoes.  Surely my snazzy socks are cuter to look at, lol.

Instead of snow, there was ice.

The ice was all over the place today. I didnt get to work until 9a. But I made it in.. thats all that matters. I didnt take any pics of the ice this morning. I didnt think that ice was as nice to look at.. and I needed to keep my eyes on the road and both hands on the wheel.

I wanted to be comfortable today. And thats all I was thinking about when I got dressed this morning. However, when I got dressed this morning I totally forgot that I had an 8am meeting with my Senior Manager... oh well, not only was I late to work but I also missed the meeting. It wasnt so bad, a few other people missed the meeting too.. and I think due to the weather, they will give me a pass on being under dressed



striped shirt and floral cardi - Old Navy; jeans - old???
