{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 🙂

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 17

January 17th, 2011:

Tank; Gap body
Long sleeve tee; Ross
LOST tee; TeeFury
Skinny jeans; Forever 21
Boots; GoJane

A day off. Unfortunately, not to have a whole lot of fun, but rather to do a bunch of errands. And to top it off, it was pouring rain outside. So much so, that a tornado warning was put in effect for all of South Florida. And a tornado warning is not complete without a full-on soaking, which happened when I went to do groceries. Nothing like having to run like the wind under a torrential downpour while pushing a shopping cart full of groceries. You should try it, really.

Anyways, how much do I love TeeFury and their fandom tees! If you are not familiar with the site, a new tee is available daily, but only for 24 hours. These tees are only $9, and I have to say that they are one of the best fitting shirts I have ever bought. Back in the days when LOST was on the air (moment of silence), every Tuesday the site featured a new LOST themed tee. A couple of weeks ago, the site decided to reminisce and featured this great tee that I am wearing on a Tuesday! There’s nothing wrong with living in the past, right? Of course not! 😉

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 16

January 16th, 2011:

Top; Harajuku Lovers found at Loehmann’s
Skinny jeans; Target
Faux converse; Gap
Watch; Crow
Polish; Essie’s Mint Candy Apple
Shades; Forever 21

Gwen Stefani is my idol. I would really love to be her when I grow up, Gavin Rossdale included. Anywho, I basically love anything she creates, including her fashion lines: L.A.M.B. and Harajuku Lovers. Luckily, I can score both at my nearby Nordstrom Rack and Loehmann’s for half the price, which makes both my heart and wallet happy. Sweet. I loved everything about this top, from it’s ghetto 80’s feel to the cut. It had to be mine! I immediately thought it would look great paired with skinny jeans, and whaddayaknow – it did!

I rocked this outfit to a great late brunch at POC in Coral Gables with friends and then shortly after a food-induced coma, to the Sports Grill to catch up with another pair of good friends. It was a nice way to spend a Sunday, and even better since I knew Monday was a holiday! I hope you all have a great day, whether you off or not. Thanks, MLK!

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 15

January 15th, 2011:

Sports bra; ??
Loose-fitting tee; Gap
Yoga pants; Marshalls
Sneakers; Target

OK, so…it was important for me to keep with the 30 days no matter what. Even if I didn’t look my absolute most fashionable. Even if I had a schlubby day. And today was one of those days. I started the day with a spinning class, and then went on to do 239482 errands, clean the house and do laundry. How glamorous, right? Well, since it was such a highly domestic day, I didn’t exactly change into something more fashion forward, so excuse me this one time. At least I was able to knock myself out (although not naturally), and get a full night’s rest after what seemed like a week of anxiety-driven insomnia. Hooray for the little things in life!

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 14

January 14th, 2011:

Tank; Gap body
Long sleeve light pink tee; Forever 21
Long sleeve hot pink; Old Navy
Bell bottom jeans; Free People found at Marshall’s
Hot pink chucks; Urban Outfitters
Scarf; stolen from hubs
Nerdy specs; Urban Outfitters online

Nothing like a casual Friday. Another restless night called for something comfortable, as I could barely bring myself out from under the covers, much less rock a pair of heels. Thankfully, I had a pretty slow day at work so I was able to just throw on a pair of my most favorite jeans in the world, a few layering tees and some chucks. After lunch, I had to shimmy my way over to my first physical in over 10 years, which was both scary and satisfying. We’ll see how I feel when I have to come in for bloodwork tomorrow (needles are the devil).

I though the perfect accessory for my outfit was a pair of nerdy specs, even though I don’t need to wear glasses. I can’t help that I think they are so adorable. I actually have about 3 pairs of “for looks only” glasses, which I get mocked for a lot, but I think they really add a fun vibe. Go ahead, hate my 20/20 vision. 😉
