Power suit with edge
blouse- Nordstrom similar
belt- Target option
necklace- Rocksbox option
shoes- Ann Klein similar
I wear this black suit a lot, but I hesitate to post it on the blog each time. How many times do you need to see the black power suit? It has its benefits- it's conservative, it's easy to throw on and go and almost anything goes with it. I decided to share it this time because I wanted to show you that you can add a little color and edge and still be professional. I added this spike necklace and snakeskin belt. The blouse adds a pop of color.
Hope your week is going well.

Shades of grey
Blazer-Limited
pants- Limited
blouse- JCP (old) option
necklace- Sears option
earrings Sears option
shoes- Payless
As much as I love color, sometimes it's nice to just tone it down and wear a monochrome neutral outfit. In this case, it's grey. I added a little soft color with a delicate bracelet stack that I made.
I'm so glad it's Friday. How about you? I'm short on words again. I'm tired. Maybe we'll talk more next week, okay?

Neutral yet graphic
Currently I'm... scrapping my wedding reception photos from 2005! Whew! 2005 was a whirlwind year of weddings, graduation, job changes, moves, and natural disasters for my family and I'm just now getting all of it into a scrapbook. When I finish this little album, 2005 will be finished and properly documented. Do you scrapbook?

Dressing up a striped tee
Grab a power suit and throw it on with a striped tee and you've instantly dressed up your tee! Not every striped tshirt will work, but a nice soft one with a fancy trim like this one does the trick. The one I'm wearing is no longer available, but I think this Top Shop tee with crochet trim would look cute peeking out from a suit or blazer.
Currently I'm... calling - my mother. I loved to call my friends as a teenager and tie up the phone line for hours, but now I hate to make phone calls. I do it as required all day at work, but at home I hate to make calls, so my mother is the only one privileged to receive a phone call from me. And occasionally the hubby when I need to communicate to him where I am or what's going on, and then it might just be a text. Are you into making phone calls and chatting it up, or do you communicate with friends and loved ones another way?
Hope your week is progressing nicely. Be sure to check out my Nordstrom sale work wear picks.

Something I struggle with
necklace gift option
earrings JCP option
I went pretty conservative and all business with this outfit. I have days at work when this is just more appropriate than wearing a bright color or funky shoes. I still have color with the red blouse, but it's more classic and conservative than even some prints would be.
Sorry if you thought because of the title that I'd be sharing some deep dark personal secret. I'm not. I am sharing something personal, but it's not an earth shattering struggle of any sorts. I struggle with journaling, even blogging here sometimes. I have a total lack of things to say and I'm beginning to wonder if I'm boring. I scrapbook as a hobby and to keep my family's memories recorded, but I've gotten way behind. Even when I was current with the scrapbooking, I didn't like journaling. I find it difficult to do that part. If there is a fun story to tell, I can do it, but sometimes the photos speak for themselves and journaling the facts is redundant and boring. And you can bet it's even harder to tell the stories now that I'm about ten years behind.
I certainly don't write witty or personal blog posts either, but I'd like to be a bit more personal. I started researching writing and journaling prompts and how to be a better writer. I hated keeping journals in school when the teachers required it as a class. I didn't keep diaries or journals as a kid. The short period of times I did, I'd go back and destroy them. I have found some interesting and thought provoking prompts, but when I see prompts like "what you had for lunch today" I think "Who cares?" As long as I'm fed and not hungry, who cares what it was? Even things like "list your favorite... color, drink, etc..." sometimes leave me drawing a blank. But when I really think about it, I can come up with a few favorites. So.....
I said all that to say that I'm going to try and weave it a few personal bits here and there into my blogging. If you care to know- if not and you just want to see outfit photos, let me know and all will be well.
I'm going to try a few exercises for the sake of having journaling in my scrapbooks, so I may as well share a few details here. Edye at Graceful Coffee recently shared 30 blog post ideas which are really good if you need some prompts.
I'll start with a "Currently I'm..." list I found elsewhere.
Currently I'm- Reading- I'm not. I don't read much beyond blog posts and Instagram posts. I used to read books, but I stopped several years ago. John Grisham is probably the last author I've read. The last book I bought to read was Ann Voskamp's 1,000 Gifts and I haven't finished it.
Just curious, do you read? Books or ebooks? Do you journal?
Thanks for sticking around if you are still reading.
