What I Wore: The Limited Pants

Finding the right fit and style when shopping for work pants has to be the worst. Well, let’s face it. Shopping for pants period is not the most enjoyable thing in the world. That’s why I love the modern fit and flare of the Drew pants from The Limited. As you can see, they look great paired with some fun, bold heels (something I believe should always be a staple with boring work outfits – you need a punch) and are endlessly comfy. Plus, they seem to flatter many different body types, even my curvy Cuban hips! 😉

Something else you might be noticing is my new ‘do! I recently got some Zooey Deschanel-esque bangs and I love them (well, until they develop a mind of their own – coming soon, I’m sure)!

{The Limited}: Shirt

Although I no longer have to wear it (I have a uniform), I really enjoy rocking the business casual. Mainly because I can make it my own and try my best not to stick to the boring basics. I personally believe that a good outfit can make you feel better about yourself, and your work day. Would you not agree? I know I always had a better day at work when I knew I looked good, and the same can apply to any environment. This is pretty easy to do with The Limited‘s Collins Shirt, which in a nutshell is a really fun and modern take on the basic work shirt. Its vibrant colors, loose fit and wide sleeves make it the perfect ingredient for any work outfit that can very well transition into after hour cocktails. And what girl doesn’t like that? 😉

What I Wore: The Concert That Never Was

I’ve decided that if I get my own SLR, I wouldn’t have to bother the poor hubs with frequent outfit posts. Every now and then, I get the opportunity to use a borrowed company camera and I fall in love. Hard. But until that day…

I got all dolled up last week to see the awesome Boyce Avenue at Revolution, but unfortunately, plans got a little botched and we ended up not attending (sniff). However, I decided to still feature the outfit because…well, it was cute! I also unintentionally paid homage to the 10 Cent Designer, Lori Andrews, during my shoot. I put my camera on our dining table on self-timer and must have stood too close for comfort because my head was missing! To satisfy my inner artist, I just decided to go with it.

What I Wore: Disney World

Like I mentioned yesterday, we went to Disney World over the weekend to take our friends’ engagement photos in various parks. It had been too long a time since I had visited the mouse (Potter has been taking up all my Orlando visits as of late), and I wanted to make sure I showed my love by wearing my awesome, vintage Mickey ears. I also wanted to avoid the usual jean shorts-tank top-fanny pack fare that most tourists wear and put together a comfortable and airy outfit that was still stylish and fun.
