{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 19

January 19th, 2011:

Top; Gap
Pants; Forever 21
Brown heels; DSW

Dressing the part of business lady today. I was visiting a school and didn’t want to be mistaken for one of the students (it has happened so many times), so I decided to put on my more professional duds. Makes me feel like a big girl. Although the student I was going to meet with wasn’t there (she better not have been skipping…), I still wanted to make the trip worthwhile so I swung by the hubs’ office to say hello and have lunch! It was really nice and I always love spending time with our friends (a lot of them work with him) – definitely something I needed this week.

Ain’t that the truth?

Did you know January 24th is supposedly the most depressing day? Researchers say this is due to the inability to follow through with new year’s resolutions, the pile up of bills after gift buying, and the disappearance of holiday cheer and family fun. Well, both Melificent and Lulus.com have teamed up to squash that theory with the help of an amazing giveaway! How would you like to win a $50 shopping spree at Lulus.com?

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 18

January 18th, 2011:

Top; Cynthia Rowley found at Marshall’s
Skinny jeans; Target
Brown heels; DSW
Earrings; gifted

I think I grow a new found appreciation for Marshall’s every time I visit. They are really getting some top quality stuff and in turn, so is my closet. I nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw this gorgeous nude tunic top from Cynthia Rowley hanging off their racks. I can’t tell you how comfortable and cool it is, especially when paired with some skinny jeans like I did yesterday! It’s the perfect casual office outfit, and it boosted my confidence when I had to get my blood work done. Thanks to this cute top (and a butterfly needle), my experience went way smoother than I thought!

Unfortunately, today was another rough day for me emotionally in the office, and I succumbed to yet another bout of retail therapy. I’m not proud of my lack of self control, but I am of my amazing purchases! I scored both a rockin’ orange dress from Max Studio and a beautiful bright blue Cynthia Rowley number for less than $50! I have a couple of events coming up, so I can’t wait to put them to good use 🙂

Happy Hump Day: Hugh Dancy

OK, how in heavens did I miss such a lovely Brit? My radar must be malfunctioning. Even worse, he was in a bunch of movies I have watched and loved like Black Hawk Down, Ella Enchanted (you shut your face), and Confessions of a Shopaholic (OK, so I didn’t love that one, or like it). However, all it took was a quick little glimpse on Sunday night while he was giving his wife, Claire Danes, a kiss as she won a Golden Globe for her work on Temple Grandin for me to notice. So much so, that I rewound it back to his face just to tell my hubs how adorable he was (my poor, poor husband). Upon further research, it came as no surprise that he was a model as well as an actor, most recently for Gap.

Some girls just get all the luck. First Claire Danes had Jordan Catalano, and now this? Totally unfair.

Feast your eyes on some proper British eye candy, readers, and then get back to me in the comments. 😉
