Top; Target
Pants; Forever21
Flats; Target
Cardigan; Old Navy
Apple earrings; Pink Ghost

The first day back at work is always a little painful after a long holiday weekend, so I decided to throw a bright splash of color into my outfit to combat those Monday blues. Every girl should have a pair of super comfy flats, and these from Target are mine! I have worn them to death – I’m actually surprised they aren’t covered in holes by now. My only gripe is that I don’t have an go-to pair in black. I also love adding a little subtle whimsy to my work outfits, just to showcase my personality a bit. This morning it was in the form of a sweet pair of apple earrings from the awesome people of Pink Ghost. I definitely recommend checking out their website – they have a great sale going on right now consisting of accessories, vinyl toys, collectibles and more!

Hope your Monday back to the grind was more successful than mine! I started my morning having to deal with a lot of negativity in the office, followed by my car breaking down again causing me to miss my first spinning class. Here’s hoping the week improves from here on out!

Jeans; Gap Curvy

Guitar Pick earrings; gifted
Flippy floppies; Old Navy

Having a productive Sunday after a pretty lazy first day of the year. We had to take my car in for service after it pooped out New Year’s Eve, started cleaning out our closets and finally got around to unpacking those final boxes (7 months after our official move). I have a very long list of to do’s for the house this year and am determined to get them all done by the end of 2011! For these reasons, I had to dress as comfy as I could. I can’t recommend Gap’s Curvy line any more for fellow large hipped ladies. They are wonderful! I always have a very hard time finding a pair of jeans to fit my body type since I have a very narrow waist, but wide hips and thick legs. These jeans always fit me like a dream come true. Plus, they are usually on sale – bonus!

ps; isn’t my house cute? I’m still so in love with it.

1. DIY Bold Painting

I have a lot of empty wall space in our new home as we have only been living here for 6 months (can’t believe it’s been such a short amount of time), but we have been keeping our eyes peeled for some nice art pieces to fill that void. However, after seeing the beautiful painting Jen Ramos of MadeByGirl quickly cooked up on her own, I am thinking of investing in a canvas and paintbrushes. How gorgeous and powerful is this artwork? I adore the modern simplicity of it. And what’s better than saying “I did that” while giving home tours to friends and family?
