flattering?

Ever have those days where you feel fabulous, and then look at the picture and have second thoughts?  This dress is super comfy, and I think looks flattering in the mirror.....but the picture tells a different story.  In the picture, I think I look bigger than I am.  Hmmm, that is some food for thought.  But considering the dress is so comfortable on a hot summer day, and I feel great in it....who cares what one picture says?

Spring is in the air!

Wow, it sure feels like spring......or rather summer. Temps in the 80s today!  woo hoo!  Too bad my office is always freezing, year round, so I wore a tan blazer over this outfit.  The shoes are new......I needed some grown-up sandals (i.e ones with heels).   The skirt was thrifted last summer.  The cami is old, and the top is Banana Republic via Goodwill. 

date night.

I teach today, but I also have a date after work.  Hard to figure out what was work appropriate yet also date appropriate.  The leopard heels make me happy in a dating world.....okay, who am I kidding, they make me happy regardless.  I got the shoes a few years ago on clearance for about $7.50.  The skirt is a Talbot's sale a year or so ago, but I don't remember the price.  The sage green cami is old.  The white button shirt is Ann Taylor via Goodwill ($3.79), and the sweater is also Goodwill ($3.79).

Friday, woo hoo!

Friday at last....what a week!  This skirt is from Target clearance this past fall.  It is a great year round skirt.  I usually wear it witha black top, so the cream top is a chnage for me.  The wrap top is another Goodwill purchase, and has been worn multiple times.  I love these shoes!  They are from Payless years ago, and are oh so comfy and easy.

funky Thursday

 I am sporting a new dress from, where else,  but Goodwill!  This dress still had the tags on it from Target.  What a score for $4.99!  This jacket is from about a year ago, and is my go-to jacket in spring and summer.

 

The  pattern on this dress makes me happy!  It looked like a potato sack when I first tried it on.....but I knew a belt to give some waist definition would quickly fix that issue.  Plus, belting the dress made it a tad shorter at a more flattering length. I am wearing the purple heels again, because why not?

  I love the neckline on this dress....a little bit of ruffles is always good fun!

leopard and purple

I've worn this leopard dress before.  It is a really easy and comfy piece.  Last time I wore a magenta colored cardigan, so this time I decided to go with purple.  Also meant I got to wear my purple heals again, and I am pretty much happy any day I can wear my purple heels!

Fabulous Friday

I don't normally wear a skirt or dress on a Friday, as I have 6 hours of lab to teach, and standing around in a  dress for 6 hours on a Friday just doesn't feel right.  But the weather is so gorgeous here today, I decided I needed some bare legs.  This dress is a Goodwill find ($4.99).  I have had the cream tank underneath for years.  The cardigan is cashmere from Ann taylor and is a wardrobe staple for me.
