{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 🙂

{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!
