Last night Allison got the full picture of my outfit, which I really need to start doing instead of awkwardly squashing myself into the frame of Photo Booth in my office.  I didn’t realize she was still taking pictures and, of course, I reverted back to my natural state of making silly faces.  She caught a pretty good one.  

Yesterday was the first time I wore this faux lace dress from Pins and Needles. It was so comfy, minus the tag which my coworker had to rip out with a pair of staple removers.  After that, it was smooth sailing.  

You will soon realize I am obsessed with blazers.  I have a whole rack in my closet dedicated to my collection, and I will make any excuse to wear one.  This one is from Uniqlo, and it’s a cotton summer weight that wasn’t too bad yesterday when it was about 90 degrees.  And it is quite cozy in my igloo of an office.  

For some reason I have been getting a ton of compliments on this bag today, although I have been carrying it every day for about 4 months.  After drooling over it on the J Crew website for a few weeks I finally broke down and bought it.  It is like a Mary Poppins bag: it looks normal size, but you just wait until I pull out a tall lamp and umbrella.  Maybe if I play my cards right there will one day be a huskie puppy waiting on me in the cell phone pocket. I can dream.  

Anyways, this bag is wonderful.  It is sold out now, but I highly recommend anything from the Brompton Collection from J Crew.  The leather is incredibly soft and it is extremely durable.  To change it up once in a while, I filter through some fun scarves that I have been given through the years but never really used.  The one I have on there now is from the Frank Lloyd Wright collection from MoMA.

P.S. - My ever so fashionable friend Ashley is doing a similar blog to this.  I told her about it and we are going to do it together.  Check hers out here.  When she isn’t posting about what she is wearing, she shares links and images of fabulous fashion finds throughout the internet.  Please excuse the accidental alliteration. Oh god I did it again.

I know I am cheating. Again.  I took this yesterday morning before work and forgot to post it last night.  Please disregard my disaster of a bedroom. 

Yesterday I went with my absolute favoritre BDG skinnies.  I first purchased a pair of these babies 4 years ago, and since I have been buying a new pair a year once the previous pair have met their demise.  Even in the summer they are perfect.  It was a bit of a risk wearing them to work since they are denim with patch pockets, but not one person seemed to care, or notice.  So these will be reappearing in the future. 

The pants were an excellent choice until about 3:00 when I was leaving a meeting with an attractive co-worker when I discovered my zipper is broken and won’t go up anymore.  Oh well, I have a replacement pair on stand by! Thank god…

This sheer chiffon blouse from Anthro was a comfy choice for this stupidly hot weather.  I just got it last weekend in Richmond.  Once I get going with posting on a regular basis I will also include new acquisitions.  I shop way too much, and I always want to tell everyone about everything I buy.  You will be that person.

I will have to confess that I have already broken my own challenge.  I have worn this dress to work twice within 30 days.  I just cannot help it, this dress is the most comfortable thing I own (after this new American Apparel pull over, which will have to have its own post).  Virginia has been deathly hot and humid the last few days and this dress was perfectly lightweight to throw on with a simple sweater and brave the heat, and the igloo that is my office (seriously, I can’t feel my fingers). 

The dress is currently on sale at UO. Go grab it while its hot. (Pun intended.)
