This is the last day of floral week and the sun has finally been coaxed completely out of hiding! I am not sure how I'm going to pick out my outfits for work next week without some sort of theme. If I did a new theme week what would you like to see? I can make a cool banner and everyone can join in on the fun!

• Top: ivory t-shirt with beaded rosette detail, Merona for Target
• Bottom: dark denim capris, Macy's
• Shoes & Accessories: bronze sandals with genuine stone embellishments, bo'em via DSW; tiger's eye earrings, local jewelry store; gray Balenciaga Le-Dix/motorcycle bag

It is not gross and rainy!!! How appropriate as Floral Week continues. I couldn't be happier for the actual weather but, I'm a little bummed because I am feeling a bit under the weather. You win some, you lose some I guess.

• Top: light brown sweater, GAP outlet with a tank top underneath for the modesty
• Bottom: pink embroidered skirt, Ann Taylor: second hand from mom who thrifted it
• Shoes & Accesories: silver gladiator sandals, Isaac Mizrahi for Target (similar here); silver beaded necklace, Bitten via Steve & Barry's; Tiffany & Co's silver bead earrings; gray Balenciaga Le-Dix/motorcycle bag

Floral Week continues with this snazzy new banner! Even though I am wearing some floral fantastic-ness the gloomy weather and my sleepy disposition from being out late last night with mom at Chop for Charity is making me want to go back to bed! Albeit, my mom had a blast (the important part) and we did get some great pictures (mostly of mom with famous people) plus autographed cookbooks...

Meetings, presentation, and more "fun stuff" like that today! Plus a committee meeting after work... How long until the weekend, or maybe just some sun?

• Top: pink v-neck top with floral corsage embellishement, New York and Company with a tank top underneath for the modesty...
• Bottom: dark brown pants, New York and Company
• Shoes & Accessories: silver hard wear embellished flats, Preview via Nordstrom Rack; coin pearl earrings, altered by me via mom (it's amazing what some needle nose pliers will do for you... maybe that could be a Work With What You've Got post but, I digress), cream Loeffler Randall for Target purse

Blogging is so viral but, in a good way... Yesterday I was reading alltumbledown (a regular thing as you can see from my blog roll) and noticed that she is taking part in {have a cute day}'s floral week. Since I was thinking of wearing a floral print today anyway why not get involved in that as a tribute to spring? Hopefully this will coax the sun out of hiding and make the rain rain go away!

While this is a standard business casual day I have a fancy charity event to go to after work (with mom) so I have to seamlessly transition from day to evening with what I am wearing because I don't have time to go home and change. I think it's all in the shoes AKA I will bring flip flops to stick under my desk during the day since I would have been in whatever shoes for more than the standard 8 hours and these black pumps are comfy but, not that comfy. Also, the mini makeup bag just in case there are blemishes, dark circles, etc.

• Top: floral print t-shirt, Vera Wang for Kohl's a thank you gift from BF for successfully helping him create a business casual wardrobe
• Bottom: black pinstripe Calvin Klein suit skirt, via SYMS
• Shoes & Accessories: black pumps, Candies via Kohl's; silver beaded necklace, Bitten via Steve & Barry's; Tiffany & Co's silver bead earrings; black Fendi spy bag
