What I Wore: Thursday, November 1, 2012

Today was my last crazy class teaching day this week, and I confess, I had this outfit planned for today well before the week started. I had been wanting to wear a blazer/jacket to work because I thought it would make me look more professional. When I found this one on the clearance rack at Rue 21 back in September, I held onto it, waiting to bust it out for today. Unfortunately (well, no, fortunately for me but unfortunately for it), I had lost a little weight since I bought it, so it wasn't as fitted as when I had first tried it on. I guess I'll take the weight loss over the fitted-ness though. ;-)

What I didn't like:

• The blazer/jacket needed to be more fitted

What I Wore: Tuesday, October 16, 2012

I really like this sweater, but it's covered with little stick on rhinestones that get everywhere. I don't know if the glue wasn't strong enough or what, but I find them on the floor at home and work for weeks after I wear it. Maybe that should be an indicator that I need to vacuum more often...

What I liked: 

• The color of the cardigan and the little rhinestones

What I didn't like:

• I didn't love the t-shirt or these particular khakis, but it wasn't horrible overall

Cardigan- White House Black Market via Goodwill, shirt- Walmart, khakis- Dockers via Burke's Outlet, shoes- Target

What I Wore: Wednesday, August 29, 2012

It was a rough morning for me. I work the opening shift, and this is the day that it really seemed to hit me that it was early and I didn't want to get out of bed! I thought I could do a cute bun in my hair, but that failed miserably. Also, I feel like I look a little wider than I thought I did in the mirror. Oh well. Live and learn, right?

What I liked:

• I liked the combination of a 3/4 sleeve denim jacket, simple t-shirt, and patterned skirt

What I didn't like:

• Something about this outfit made me look dumpy. Gotta figure out what because I do want to wear this skirt again!

No close up jewelry shots today because I accidentally had my camera on video instead of still! Oops! Thank goodness for it being Wednesday because I think my brain is fading fast!

Jacket- Walmart via Goodwill via Mom's closet (ha!), t-shirt- Walmart, skirt- Old Navy via Goodwill, shoes- Target
