{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 10

January 10th, 2011:

Dress; Target
Footless tights; Target
Flats; Target
Necklace; Skeleton key purchased on Etsy, put on an old chain

Didn’t realize I was rocking a head-to-toe Tarjay outfit today until I put together this post! Who says you can’t put together an amazing ensemble on a budget? Happy to be able to wear this dress again – the first time I wore it was sans tights and I felt like I was a little too old to be baring so much leg. Tights to the rescue! I paired it with my favorite flats (told you guys I wear them a lot) and a fun skeleton key necklace that I made on the fly that morning with an old chain and an Etsy purchase. Voila! Another cheery outfit for a not-so-cheery day. I had a pretty tedious day in the office and then got my butt handed to me on a silver platter by a new spinning instructor. Oof.

And for those of you wondering, the soundtrack to these photos was The White Stripes. Hotel Yorba to be exact. 😉

ps; Photos are now larger by request! See? I listen!

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 9

January 9th, 2011:

Long tissue tank; Old Navy
Tunic sweater vest; Forever 21
Boyfriend ripped jeans; Gap
Earrings; vintage
Bracelet; gifted
High top Converse; Journey’s

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?

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 8

January 8th, 2011:

V-neck Tee; Gap
Long tissue tank; Old Navy
Jeans; Gap Curvy
Neon flats; H&M
Flower earrings; Forever 21

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!

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 7

January 7th, 2011:

Dress; Forever 21
Lace tank; Marshalls
Footless tights; Target
Flats; Target
Heart earrings; Forever 21

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!

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 6

January 6th, 2011

Sweater tunic; Forever 21
Jeggings; Nordstrom Rack
Striped Wedges; H&M

Yeah, I rock jeggings. And what?
I really don’t understand all the hate surrounding jeggings. I love my pair so much, I went out and got another a month later just so I am always stocked. I think they are a great alternative to skinny jeans, if you are looking for comfort and they look spectacular with tunic tops when paired with heels like I did yesterday.

I adore the vibrant color of this sweater top, and although you can’t see it in the photos, it has this punk-y exposed zipper all along the back. Bad assery. Finally, I really love wedges, but am I the only one that struggles to keep them on? My feet always slip out the back of all my pairs to the point that I walk funny while I’m wearing them because I have to make sure my toes are gripped to the edge. This pair is no different, but I could not help myself. Look how cute they are!

ps; it’s really time for us to put away our Christmas tree, dontcha think? 😉
