Holy moly! Everything I'm wearing was a gift. My family is really that awesome at choosing gifts for me! Aside from that, I wore this outfit mostly because it is warm and extremely comfortable. I am still working on killing the bug that I received as a Christmas gift, so comfort was of utmost importance. Ever worn a snuggy to work? Add that to your bucket list!

Immediately following my Christmas whirlwind both Hubs and I have come down with a cold! So this is me trying to wear some of my new Christmas gifts while under the influence of cold medicine. I might need to get with my tailor my mom and see about taking them in. They are straight up too big. Apparently medicine head makes me wear over sized pants! Done anything silly while under the influence of cold medicine lately?

Christmas for me and my family is a giant whirlwind. Between my husband's family and my family, we attend 6 different Christmas celebrations to attend in a matter of days. It is so wonderful to be able to spend time with ALL of our family! How were your Xmas celebrations?

Top:Charolette Russe (I think?)
Pants: Express
Cardi: gift

Necklace: Macy's

There's not much color here (except the deep purple booties), but that is okay because it feels so festive. The velvet the sparklies. Life is good people!

Are you ready for Christmas? I'm not!!! ACK!

Sweater: Aeropostale
Shirt: Macy's
Pants: gift
Boots: DSW
Necklace: gift

I like the idea of this outfit, but it just doesn't work since several of these pieces are so ill fitting. All day my pants were falling down! This is serious problem! I like the mix of colors and textures, so I'll have to try this again sometime. Humbug!

I received 2 comments about this outfit within 2 minutes of being at work.  It feels a little greyed-out color wise, but I'm really enjoying all the different textures going on. Plus I'm always a sucker for lace.

My hubby and I have 6 different family Christmases to attend this year. I'm hoping this top will come in handy for all that celebrating. What does your Christmas schedule look like this year?

For once, I don't have a lot to say... other than this outfit is good because it has the fundamentals. Blazer, boots and a pop of color. I had many errands to run, true to the season, so this outfit served its purpose.

These are my favorite jeans right now, which means I automatically gravitate toward them on "casual friday". Maybe I should go jean shopping, so I can have more than one pair of jeans with gravitational pull.

Full day must mean a full outfit to go along with it. I have been a busy busy bee the last few days! Luckily for you, I had time to put on clothes!

I enjoyed wearing this. It is not a simple outfit, but it is fun!

Top/Jacket: TJ Maxx
Pants: hand-me-downs
Boots: Bakers Shoes

Today, I'm totally mod. Unfortunately, these pictures don't completely show you how great this Jacket/Top is. The fabric actually has some sparkly-ness to it AND my pants have tiny sparkly pinstripes. The sparkles aren't mod; that's just me!

So because this (as I call it) "mod" top has more volume, I picked my narrowest pants to wear with it. I also chose to keep it streamlined by not wearing a necklace. Do you think it worked? Should I have added the necklace for a pop of color?

My pants are gold. My shirt is lace. Life probably can't get better than this! I felt good in this outfit and I think it has a touch of spunk and holiday cheer too. You know how I love spunk! Have you been sprinkling some holiday cheer into your work clothes lately?

I had another wardrobe struggling morning. It seems like these are happening more frequently. Or I'm just whining about them more frequently. Either way. I completely forgot that we were having a dinner with clients after work. I might not have worn this, but if I had remembered it may have taken me even longer to get dressed. Pretty soon I'll be changing the name of this blog to "getting dressed is hard!"

Tank: Aeropostale

Necklace: LOFT

This is one of those great sweaters that doesn't pill. It is realatively thin in the sweater world, but sweater world is a dog eat dog place!

I feel like this outfit is simple and somehow therefore chic. Its a good thing it is Monday, so I'm allowed to make no sense what-so-ever.

This is a one of a kind shirt! It might not really be velvet, but it looks and feels like velvet. The iridescent looking effect is what really reels me in. It feels like the perfect holiday top. I've also had this great necklace for a while (since my LOFT clearance buying spree), but until now, it never seemed to be the right accessory for the job. I had fun wearing this! Did you have any fun with your work clothes this week?

Tank: LOFT
Sweater: Macy's
Pants: hand-me-down from my sister
Necklace: Macy's
Shoes: Jessica Simpson

This outfit is nice! I think it feels very down to earth. Though it has enough going on that it is still interesting. After I started really paying attention to my weardrobe, I noticed that I must like this color because I have a LOT of it!

I apologize for cutting of my feet (again)! Here is another outfit that features the shoes I am wearing with this! Will I ever stop cutting off my limbs?!

I got my cootie shot! Kidding Kidding! I got that years ago!

I really think this outfit is fun. I like the color combos and the mixes of stripes and dots and flower applique, oh my! Another summer dress transformed into completely viable fall-wear.

I struggled a little with the length of this skirt. What do you think -- would you wear this to work?

Sweater: Target
Pants: gift?
Shoes: Carlos Santana

I like this outfit better in theory than in practice. Favorite pants. Argyle sweater. Can't go wrong, right? Wrong. This outfit has very little goign for it other than the argyle. It does nothing for my shape styled this way, and there's really nothing creative about it. I still love my sweater. I just need to find a better way to style it!

At least my Carlos Santanas  bring some spunk to the party!

Normally Baylee "helps" with my morning pictures, but this time we had the pleasure of a bonus dog! My sister was out of town for a couple of days, so her pup, Chilton (Baylee's cousin), got to hang out with us! A great time was had by all, and I woke up in to morning to find I was the meat in a dog sandwich!

In wardrobe news, I got this top for only $3, but I just think it is so much fun! I know, I know the anchors & stars are a bit weird, but so am I! Also, take note that this cardi has little bits of sparkle in it! Welcome to the holidays!
