I was hitting the streets today for my job (I drive a lot. A whole lot), so I needed to wear something that would be comfy, but stylish. I was going to be spending a lot of time in my car, but also at schools and foster homes so I couldn’t look a mess either. I think a pair of skinny jeans with a 3/4 length tee always seems to do the trick when going for trendy casual. I really loved the nautical stripes and boatneck of this tee – really stood out while I was thrashing through what seemed like miles and miles of clothing racks at my local Marshall’s. I especially love that you can either wear it as pictured, or off the shoulder if you are feeling especially Molly Ringwald at the moment. My automatic reaction when wearing blue or navy nautical stripes is to pair it with red accessories. You just can never go wrong!

On an aside, kind of nuts that I can already see a change in my body after a week and a half of steady dieting and spinning. Definitely a motivator to keep me going!

Talk about a slouchy Sunday. Yes, I am guilty of wearing the same tank two days in a row – didn’t you hear me? Slouchy. I completed some more random small home projects (I have 2 pages full) and did some major blogging along with some minor party planning for our Valentine’s Day dinner at home. I love these jeans – they fit my mood: relaxed. The only thing that bums me out is that they don’t tend to match with anything but neutrals. Same goes for my hot Chucks that I heart ever so much – they are so busy and loud that it’s hard to pair them with anything but white. But aren’t they great?

We decided to have an impromptu getty at our place with a few friends Saturday night so I had to throw on something quick since I had spent the day in workout clothes. That meant my favorite pair of jeans, and a pair of simple white tees. To not be too horribly boring, I slipped on my loudest pair of flats in neon orange. I decided to include my beer bottle in the pictures because I hadn’t had any beer in a week (!!!), since I have decided to limit my alcohol intake to only weekends. As silly as it seems, it is really working! I’m also pairing a healthier diet with spinning twice a week, so hopefully you will not only see fashion for the next 30 days, but weight loss as well!

Unfortunately, later that night I just so happened to step in doggy dookie and got it all over my adorable flats. It took me a while to notice, so I had gotten it on my jeans too. Why do these things only happen to me? I had to change my outfit half-way throughout the night. Thankfully I was at home!

Some chilly weather rolled back into South Florida this weekend, so I was able to break out the tights once more. When I walked out the door, I realized that it was a bit chillier than anticipated so I paired the outfit with a jean jacket from Old Navy that just happened to be in my car’s backseat. I love this floral dress because it has that sexy secretary vibe – it’s low cut, but has a classic silhouette. I usually wear the dress sans under tank, but for the office, I had to cover up. The full skirt made me feel Friday-appropriate: fun, flirty and playful!
