Naked
Top - Target; Pants - Anthropologie; Shoes - Zara

As a "personal style blogger" part of me feels like I need to have on some type of accessory/vest/blazer to complete an outfit. Small items like these just finish a look and make it look complete, and without them I feel like I'm not fully dressed. While I'm not Bee, and I admit I'm not one to do a lot, I do like a little something. I feel like this outfit is missing something - particularly a black women's tuxedo vest. That would have been icing on the cake for me - my "completer piece." Unfortunately, I don't have a black vest, so I went without an accessory, and a vest, and a blazer. Thus, I was basically naked.
"Chillin with my Kool-Aid"
Shirt - J. Crew; Pants - Anthropologie; Sweater Blazer - Anthropologie; Shoes - BCBG

Remember the song "Diggin' on You" by TLC? Remember the line when T-Boz says, "I was chillin' with my Koolaid..." C'mon guys - if you were a teen/pre-teen/young adult in the 90's, and lover of R&B, you should know what I'm talking about.Well I just wanted to take you back because this outfit (randomly) reminded me of the song. Don't know why, but it did. I am actually singing the song in my head right now as I type this. Now go watch the video on youTube.
Scooby Doo
Top - Anthropologie; Pants - Anthropologie; Shoes - Anthropologie
Date: Wednesday, November 30, 2011
As a child, The Mysteries of Scooby Doo was one of my favorite cartoons. I loved Shaggy and Scooby AKA "Scoob." Every now and then, I think about the old cartoon's phrases like "wowzers" or "jinkies," which takes me back. Today - the ultimate flare on these pants and neon orange top reminded me of old Scoob, and I love it!
Swiper No Swipey

I'm not a huge fan of plaid, but I must admit that I love gingham patterns. Every now and then, a "true plaid" pattern makes its way into my closet, and I'm surprised that I like it as much as I do. This blazer is that sneaky little pattern for me. It's sneaky like Swiper from Dora the Explorer...ok, maybe not..I just needed to find a connection between my outfit with the post title. Done and done!
Black Friday
Sweater - Anthropologie; Skirt - Anthrpologie; Shoes - Urban; Belt - Urban
Date: Monday, November 28, 2011
First, can I just mention how much I have been LOVING the weather. Seriously - high 60's in November? I am loving it, and totally taking advantage of it - bare legs are proof! This skirt was one of my few Black Friday finds for myself. I did a lot of shopping for Naja - the child is growing like weeds! Hope you all had some fun shopping expeditions, and enjoyed the Thanksgiving time with your loved ones!
Wham-bam!

WHAM-BAM! Today I'm giving you outfit pictures in good lighting!!! Since I recognized that I already go through "trying on" and "picking out" outfits on the weekend. I told myself, I may as well go ahead and take pictures of them on the weekend too. Thus, I give you outfits, and good lighting, not from the actual day I'm wearing them - but I promise to only post pics of outfits I actually end up wearing. I get to wear jeans in the office due to the short week. It's a nice change from my business casual look as of late.
PS - Can I just say that these shoes are leopard, patent and oxfords - some of my favorite things wrapped into one!
Outfit Update

Ok guys, I'm the worse blogger ever right now. My pictures are lackluster, my posting is inconsistent. It's killing me, it truly is, because blogging is one of the only things that I do for me, that I truly enjoy. I *hope* that I can get my regular schedule back starting next week. I have a ton of food posts I have yet to post, so I'll post some of those too. However, here's an outfit that I debated whether/not to post due to the picture quality. Whatever - it's posted now. I'm finally getting my mojo and a set schedule, so I hope to find a way to allow blogging to work with everything else. I hope you all are well!
These pants...
Top - Anthro; Pantts - Anthro; Shoes - Anthro

...are friggin awesome! It is rare that I find pants that I love. They don't cut off my circulation, don't fall off my behind, don't lose their elasticity, and they're so comfortable! WIN-WIN-WIN! Considering that the last time I wore some SERIOUS flares was in the mid-90s as a little girl, I forgot how much I like serious flares. I think these might be my new favorite pants.
Little Things
Top - J. Crew; Skirt - J. Crew; Booties - H&M
Date: Tuesday, October 25, 2011
This skirt is a hand me down from my cousin. I feel like it had an astronomical (for me) original price, so I'm quite happy to have inherited something I likely would have never purchased. Another bonus about this skirt, when I opened my Google Reader yesterday, I noticed that one of my favorite style bloggers had the same exact outfit as me! Well...almost the same - her skirt was gold, and she wore her boots with socks. Still - I normally INTENTIONALLY COPY some of her looks. However, this time I managed to get the look on my own. I was so happy. It's the little things.
PS - I took this pic when I got home...notice the change in attitude? ;)
Grass?
Dress - Anthro; Tights - J. Crew; Shoes - Urban; Necklace - Anthro
Date: Monday, October 24, 2011
I had two options for today's outfit post title, here they are, and these were my thoughts behind them:
1. Green & Brown: Ok, I get it, my dress is green...my tights are brown. That is kind of boring, can't I be a little more creative...
2. Grass: Oh grass, I like it, because my dress is green, and my tights are brown, like the color of grass...and dirt...:-/ Are other people going to see the connection?
3. Grass?: A question mark at the end of the word grass totally confirms the above
Same Thing, Different Day

Ok folks, I have a confession. I wore the same exact outfit as last week - almost. This is not due to a lack of creativity. It's due to a love for a look. I love the androgyny of a loose cardigan over a crisp (or casual) button up. It's one of my favorite looks, and I probably rock a look like this once a week. My apologies for the lack of posting last week, I was very tired and just didn't feel like posting. I got a chance to browse Lucky this weekend, which gave me some great ideas and inspiration for the upcoming week!

Have you all noticed how brief my actual writing for my posts have been? I have, and it's a shame because I try to write two full paragraphs, and I stop at one. Like this one today. This will be the second to last sentence in this paragraph. I'm only saying it's ok because I believe I still have "baby brain," which means my mind basically only works half the time...hello brevity, goodbye creativity.
Blue Bling
Date: Monday, October 17, 2011
Yep, this outfit is all blue, and all Anthro. I just took the word monochromatic to a whole 'nother level. Another thing - notice the eyes - Mr. Lazy Eye is gone! You can chalk that up to 5 hours of straight, uninterrupted sleep. Thank you Naja for sleeping so soundly, I've never felt so well-rested (at least over the past 6 months).

Day 3 has proven to be successful (at least in the first picture). I think I will be able to do outfit posts!!! I'm excited, as I believe this will keep me motivated to be excited about getting dressed, to mix things up, and to do so on a budget! Have a great weekend!
Whoops!

On Day 2 of inside picture taking I recognize that I either
1. Have a slight lazy eye...or
2. I can only smize with one eye
I'm going to go with option number two ;). One other thing - the adorable part of this outfit (the necklace) is covered up by my sweater in this picture. Whoops! Here's to hoping for an even better Day 3!
Trial 1
Top, Pants - Anthro; Blazer - Banana; Shoes - Urban
Date: Tuesday, October 11, 2011
This is trial one of taking pictures
...inside
...at the crack of dawn
...with artificial lighting
It's not terrible, but it's not great either. If the pictures continue to be very poor, I doubt I will post weekly outfit pictures. What do you all think?
Blow Out

Blow out: my hair, and the Michigan v. Minnesota game this past weekend. Michigan - 58, Minnesota - 0. Like taking candy from a baby...hail!
