This was my Valentine's Day outfit for running errands. I kept it comfy, warm and low key because we have been battling a stomach virus. No Valentine meal or celebration for us, just curling up on the couch to watch the Walking Dead.

Before we launch it outfits and shopping, I want to say thank you to my readers and followers. Thank you for your kind comments and support. I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving day and got to have some quite down time with family to reflect on what's really important.

 

Isn't this lace top just gorgeous? Like so pretty you're afraid to wear it for fear you will mess it up? I got this during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. It was too hot then to wear it, but I can finally put it in rotation now. While it's pretty for every day, I think the lace detail will make it a pretty holiday top too.

 

If you are not braving the crowds today and are sitting at home behind the computer like me, then make sure to peruse some of the Black Friday sales. I'm kind of excited that so many things went on sale early this week. No need to be in a mad rush this morning. I've already taken advantage of some things online and in store on Wednesday, so I've got a good chunk of the Christmas list knocked out. 

 

Here are a few of the deals going on and my picks from each:

Ann Taylor has 50% off everything with code CELEBRATE These pearlized brooch earrings would be great for holiday wear and everyday. This ring set would be fun to have too.

JCrew is offering 30-40% off.  Polka dot pajamas would be perfect for relaxing after the holidays are over.

Everything is on sale at Old Navy, up to 60% off. I've been eyeing the plaid mock neck sweater.

Baublebar if offering 30% off with code THX.  Free shipping and returns is a plus too! This necklace is gorgeous.

 

Happy Shopping!

Worn August 2, 2015

 

I'm doing the very thing I harped about not liking last week. I'm posting lots of photos. In my defense, there's two versions of the outfit. And I've provided a break with text and details, so if you don't want to look past the first three photos, you can stop here. But if you don't, thanks for looking. Above is what I actually wore to church a couple of weeks ago. I think palazzo pants just scream "big floppy hat" but that would be rude to wear the hat in church so I didn't. I just couldn't help playing around and styling this look with the hat too for photos.

Oh and this could be the last time you see these pants. I washed them and put them in the dryer like the instructions said, tumble dry low. I was hoping for a little shrinkage because they were so long, but I got a lot of shrinkage, like, I've got to now cover my booty in these because they are a bit tight, kind of shrinkage.

Shrinkage? is that even a word?

I was allowed to dress down to business casual a few days last week while at a conference so I simply paired the black lace top and white pants. Easy.

Okay, I admit it - I cheated a little on my 30x30. These shoes aren't part of my 30x30 choices. I could have just taken photos with the leopard pumps on and you would not have known any better, but I'm being real and honest and posting exactly what I wore. Whenever I wear bright colors or two sharp contrasting colors, I like to keep the shoes neutral with nude. And I'm tired of rotating out the two pairs of heels. One thing I 've learned from this 30x30 challenge is that I don't like being limited on shoes. Shoes are accessories for me.

Something about this outfit reminds me of what you would see on the JCrew website- cargos with a dressier top. Maybe I've been perusing their site too much. As you can see the shorts definitely aren't JCrew- they're from Wal-mart, lol. But they work for me since  I don't get to wear shorts much.

 

Just ten more days to follow of the 30x30 remix. I'm excited to move on with my wardrobe afterwards.

I dressed in this outfit for a family birthday party. The husband says "Do I have to dress up?" Me: Is this dressed up? Husband: "Yes".

 

What do you think? I think it's a fun mix of casual and dress but I wouldn't wear it to a wedding or reception, so it's not my version of dressed up.
