Lady like

Blazer: Loft

I've been searching high and low for a chanel-like blazer. I found this during black friday at the Loft. The best part is so soft and comfortable. I feel like such a lady wearing it.

I was trying to recreate this look from the BR site, however I didn't like the way my stockings looked against such a light pair of shoes. I decided to throw these on instead.

As you can tell, I'm in desperate need of a new camera.  New camera and some announcements coming soon ....stay tuned!!!

I fell in love with this sweater as soon as I saw it. You see, being top heavy, I often have to create an illusion of a bigger bottom in order to create balance. This sweater does just that! The ruffles are perfectly positioned on my mid-section, not too high and not too low.

Office Mod

Booties: Rebecca Taylor (similar)
Watch: Michelle

I absolutely feel in love with this dress when I saw it in the Ann Taylor add.  My excitement doubled when I found out they also carried it in Petite.  You see, I ALWAYS have to raise hems on my dresses (I hate my short legs), but I didn't have to touch this dress.  It went from the rack to my body wihout any alterations! 

Office Sparkles

Where: Work
Suit: Banana Republic
Top: J Lo for Kohls
Boots: Via Spiga (similar)

I try to be as creative as I can to make my office attire a little more fun, but sometimes I just NEED to wear a suit.  With the holidays on their way (can you believe it?!!)  I thought it was time to start bringing my sparkles back.  The sequins on this top are not really shiny so it was appropriate for the office.

Pop of color

Sorry for the lack of posts, work has been super stressful lately....I guess that's why they call it a "job" right?

About the outfit, this top is SUPER old, but I refuse to let it go.  It goes with me from summer to winter and everything in between, it's just so versatile.  I thought I'd add a pop of color with this bright red blazer.  I'm trying not to fall back into my winter darks.

I love the look of winter white pants with black velvet shoes. Not only does it look sharp but the shoes give the entire look additional texture.

Looking back at this week's outfits I realized that I wore blue the ENTIRE week. The weather seems to affect my outfit selections and since it's getting a little cooler here in NJ, I'm drawn towards my darker colors. Today I decdided to break out of that mold and wear A TON of color...so here it is!!! You like?

I love this outfit because it's a great office-to-cocktail look. At the end of the day, I can take off the blazer, add some fun jewelry, maybe change my shoes...or maybe not (I love these shoes!) and head out to a fun happy hour!

My sister introduced me to Pinterest a few months ago and I'm totally addicted.  If you haven't checked it out...you must!!!  The inspiration is just amazing, like this outfit someone pined from Gilt.com.  Sorry you can't see my shoes, but they are tan heeled loafers from my fave, Banana Republic. 

It's going to be a wet one in NY, everyone stay dry!!!!

I absolutely love this dress, especially the cutouts on the sleeve. I ended up throwing this blazer over it, but I was running late this morning so I didn't get a chance to take another picture. BTW, isn't the bow on my belt super adorable?

There's nothing like the clean lines of a white button down shirt. Wear it with jeans, pants, or a pencil skirt like I did today. Raise your head up and walk proudly, you look fabulous!
