I have been dreaming of having a great dress with long sleeves. Who knew it would tak me so long to find this beauty. On the clearance rack it only cost me $25! Also, I got to wear it to a wedding two weeks ago. Win.
I'm taking a flying trip to Chicago for one night to see my best buds! I'm super excited, and I hope you have some super weekend plans too!
I'm becoming more and more comfortable with print mixing. By the time I get it perfected it will go "out" again, but I guess that's the nature of fashion. I think it is easier to print mix in a casual setting than in a professional one. You really have to think about the pieces you are pairing. Or maybe I'm making it harder than it should be. Oh dear!

Today my sister and her husband closed on a house about 200 feet away from mine. We've always lived pretty close (about 1.5 miles), but now we're neighbors! Since I recently got my real estate licence, I was able to save them a chunk of money by representing them in the sale. Exciting day calls for a mix of bird prints and leopard! Rahr!
This was my first time ever wearing pants that are not "dress pants" on any day other than a Friday. I think it works alright. This sweet new shirt and the pretty heels make it perfectly dressy.
Any other ideas on what I should try with my new black and white top?
Love me or hate me, Chris and I are pretty big Dave Matthews Band fans. They visit Indianapolis virtually every summer for 2 shows. We had the distinct pleasure of attending both. I didn't have my act together enough on Friday to get you a work outfit photo, so here are some photos of our busy busy DMB weekend!
DMB Night 1:
Saturday was filled with clearing out old and new cut down brush from our wooded yard. It was hot and it was a ton of work, but I found it rewarding! And here I am being the queen of the brush removal:
Black pants and a white top and you can put just about anything you want with it. I'm sure this isn't news to anyone. I should sleep before I start giving other obvious information.

I have been trying to work more with neutrals in an effort to allow my colors to really shine. Today I went against that completely! All brights! Right now! All day!
Update on my eyeball: all better! The Doctor found some tiny speck of something hiding under my eyelid causing the irritation.
This outfit was intended to be worn without the blazer, but I get very cold in the air conditioning.
In other news, I'm in love with this skirt. Its my most comfortable yet, and its another Target clearance rack find. I've been hesitant to wear teal and purple together because it is such a quintessential 80's color combination. But I got brave and did it anyway. I think it works even in 2013. Do you think its too 80s-tastic?

I don't love this outfit, but I think it is because this blouse is more shear then I'd like it to be. Next time I'll try a darker/nude color shirt under it. That should help.
I did something sad to my eyeball. For the last 24 hours, it has felt like I have something in my eye. It makes working and doing anything but sleeping difficult! Tomorrow I'm going to see my husbands eyeball doctor to make sure it doesn't pop out. Because that would suck!
Its so sad when I'm in love with shoes that give me blisters. The process of breaking in shoes can be a painful one. These lavender beauties are too cute to give up on, so I'll have to try some other strategies for getting them worn in and softened up. Any advice?
Some big ol' storms stomped through last night and it stopped raining and cleared up just in time for us to have our golf outing event. Unfortunately, we got so much rain that they decided the course was unplayable. Our event is rescheduled a month from now!
This was very disappointing, but created a work attire conundrum for me. I was wearing leggings and our custom designed T-shirt (intended to be worn with a tutu). I would never wear leggings and flip flops to work, but there is an exception to every rule. It would have been a serious time commitment to head home and change, so I just went with the flow and headed on into the office!
More details on the theme, our shirts and all the fun when the event actually happens next month!
We had a rough night at my house. I was up late making purple tutu's for us to wear at our golf outing event tomorrow (stay tuned you'll see pictures tomorrow!!)
After going to bed late, my sweet puppy starting having diarrea troubles. It is so sad when puppies have troubles because they can't tell you what's wrong! So I was up much of the night taking care of my wee one.
After four hours of sleep, I decided to only make two wardrobe decisions this morning. 1) which dress to wear and 2) which shoes to wear. I failed to accessorize at all, but amazingly I survived! Bam!
