I took advantage of the 60 degree weather and freed my legs just a little. Its been a while since that last time I wore anything on my feet that was not some kind of boots. Tonight there's a chance for tornados... in January!
I am almost done with my classes, and that means back to normal next week. Apparently, I am a creature of routine because all this craziness is throwing me off for sure!
This is my first time getting anything from J. Crew. If you don't follow my blog, you may not know that I'm a very frugal chica. This is my nice way of calling myself cheap. One reason I was able to splurge on this skrit is because it was on super-dooper clearance, and I adore this color. Plus, why turn down an opportunity to use my sweet new denim shirt?

I've been thinking about wearing more neons, so here I am! What does one wear with a crazy neon shirt? Your favorite tealish blazer of course!
I went to target with my sister/shopping buddy over the weekend, and i was reassured to see plenty of neons in the spring lineups. I guess my neon love isn't out of date yet!
It is still really really freakin' cold here in Indiana, so here I am in boots again. It really is the only thing I know to reach for when it is zero degrees outside. Must. Keep. Toes. Warm!
It feels like I am always waiting for the day when I can wear these pants. You don't mind if I wear them every day, do you?
On a cold day, when nothing else was working for me this basic dress provided the perfect backdrop for some little touches of fur. It seemed fitting because of the weather, and the scarf was so snuggly on my neck all day! Snuggle Snuggle Snuggle! Mmmmm.

All I have to talk about is how bone chilling it was this morning. With windchill of -13 degrees, I was wishing for a two hour delay of my own!
On the bright side these pants are lined and wool and super warm. The best way I can describe them to you is they are like snow pants! Nothing gets through these babies! Good luck out there with your inferior pants!

I'm pretty sure I'm the last person on the planet that did not have a "chambray" shirt yet. FYI - Chambray is a fancy word for DENIM. My dad has worn denim-on-denim for why whole life. Who knew he was such a fashion trend setter? Way to go, Dad!
Can't wait to try some new exciting things with my new denim!
Up too late studying for and exam in my class, so don't expect coherence.... is that a word?
I was having one of those mornings when no outfit I chose was working for me. I grabbed for my polka dots to rescue me and volia! Dots... works everytime.
Both this blazer and these pants are lint magnets. I didn't realize how bad they are until I had them together. Yeesh!
While driving to work, it randomly occurred to me that the most expensive thing in this outfit is these $40 shoes. The top was a steal from the Kohl's clearance rack for about $2.70. Plus I snagged these pants for $5 in a find "skinny" dress pant's frenzy I went on a week or so ago. With the cost of the blazer all the cloths are about $28! Clearance makes me so happy!

If you asked me years ago if I'd be wearing purple tights as a pop of color to compliment my favorite neutrals, I might have called you wacko!'
I love the way the purple peeks through the white lace just a little at the hem. I feel like I'm really growing up to use my neutrals strategically to my advantage. I'm straight up MacGyver on a wednesday morning!

I am taking a course to get a licence in my industry. Today was my first day of class, so I brought out the big guns with some of my favorite new stuff!
I have to tell you a story about these pants. I was on a mission to find some "skinny" dress pants to add to my work wardrobe arsenal. I walked into the LOFT knowing that they had some wonderful January sales going. When I saw these pants they were the ONLY pair, and my heart went pitter-pat. I held my breath until I looked at the price tag which told me they were my size AND $15! Sold and Sold! I am such a sucker for a bargin!
Also, how amazing is it that my awesome Mom got me these shoes for Xmas! It becomes more and more clear all the time that my mother has helped to shape my style since I was a very tiny human. She must know me well!

Here in Indiana, 50 degree days in January are unusual. As someone that enjoys running it is like taking the chains off of me. Most of the winter, I spend all my time in side on my treadmill, but with 60s coming on Saturday, I could not be more excited.
This outfit was fun to wear, and something about purple and yellow makes my heart happy!
