I felt like I was really pushing the envelope when I put this outfit together or at least I was trying to... Mixing brown and black?! Madness! And look at the craziness corsage on my shoulder. It was really hard to keep the skirt hiked up even with the belt. In theory it was a good ensemble in reality, it didn't play out so well but, you live and you learn.

• Bottom: brown and orange tweed pencil skirt, LOFT
• Shoes & Accessories: black pumps, Candies via Kohl's; black belt, New York & Company; gray tights, We Love Colors; silver bead earrings, Tiffany & Co.; purple tote bag, Coach

This was the beginning of Friday as skinny pant day. Since I can't wear jeans anymore on the regular I needed to find someway to differentiate the end of the week from the start of the weekend; this seemed like the obvious choice. It also worked well for the events of the day, as well as, the night. Transitioning fantastically from work to dinner then drinks and birthday festivities for a dear friend until sunrise...

• Bottom: gray really skinny pants, GAP

Happy Belated Birthday to my Daddy! Not that I didn't say it a million times that day but, you don't know that... I'm big on birthdays, you know should know that by now! My father was more than happy to appease me and come to dinner at a restaurant of my choosing, Puerto Rican cuisine is his favorite so I searched for a truly authentic place and found one not to far from the house. They also had karaoke and salsa! That combined with excessive amounts of mojitos and sangria made for a fantastic birthday night. He had fun as well!

Day after birthday celebration Iris was wishing she had never heard of sangria or maybe just wishing she had paid attention to the mental curfew she has set for herself. Dragging myself out of bed that morning was NO fun. The entire day was a count down to the moment I could head home and a shower and my bed if you couldn't tell from the look on my face.

The shower and sleep helped so much, don't you think? On St. Patricks Day, I did wear the traditional green and after work fled the city to avoid all the people who had been drinking since 8:00 in the morning. On the 5:40 train I found some of them passing out already, mostly the high schoolers... silly youngins'
