Top; Old Navy
High waisted skirt; American Apparel
Heels; Forever 21 clearance bucket
Necklace; Old Navy

This top is such a headache! I was immediately drawn to it when I saw it in the store because of its bright and cheery shade of yellow. I had to have it! Somehow, it passed the horrid dressing room inspection (you know what I’m talking about, ladies: the lights of doom) and made it back home with me. However, the first time I wore it, I vowed to never put it on again. I looked like I was approximately 5 months pregnant! But, I didn’t give up on it. I left it in my closet determined to tuck it into something high waisted, and the almost 2 year wait was worth it! I was able to pair it with my American Apparel skirt perfectly! Moral of the story: even if you take an item home and it isn’t exactly working, don’t give up hope! Play with different ways you can wear it (remix, as those hip fashion bloggers say), before officially sending it packin’.

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.
