November 9, 2010: Late Tuesday

I was tidying up at work today so I opted for some professional yet comfy clothes to avoid wearing jeans in the office. Skinny pants are my new favorite fall back piece of clothing and flyaway cardigans are coming in at a close second. This outfit also worked really well for date night! BF and I went to go see Megamind. It was way better than I expected! What items would you incorporate into a busy day/fun evening look?

• Top: gray graphic t-shirt, New York & Company/gift from BF's mom; gray flyaway cardigan, New York & Company
• Bottom: black really skinny pants, GAP/gift from BF
• Shoes & Accessories: leopard print flats, New York & Company; silver bead earrings, Tiffany & Co.; black spy bag, Fendi

October 29, 2010: A T-Shirt & Jeans

I would have loved to participate in this theme week Monday through Friday but, my dress code is business casual (as you know) and that would not have worked out so well. Though, I was happy to jump on the band wagon for Casual Friday. There is nothing more classic than jeans and a t-shirt! I even dug up an old graphic tee to incoporate some creepiness for Halloween! Who doesn't love zombies? "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains" - Pride and Predjudice and Zombies. If you haven't read the book you totally should it's hilarious! But, I digress... This was as festive as I got for Halloween, other than munching on some candy. What did you do? Did anyone dress up?

• Top: black graphic tee, Threadless
• Bottom: trouser jeans, GAP outlet
• Shoes & Accessories: purple suede-ish ballet flats, Mossimo for Target; onyx earrings, V'ta; black spy bag, Fendi (not pictured)

July 16, 2010: Teeing Off

There has been alot of talk about slogan tee's that started at academichic and has spilled over into the blogosphere. I figured I would add my two cents since I had been talking about t-shirts not too long ago. I terms of slogan tee's I only own one (I think) and it is the "Fashion is Not a Luxury" tee from Bitten/Steve & Barry's. Although, I agree with what the t-shirt says I wouldn't use it as my primary means of conveying that message. I would want to show people that fashion is not a luxury by dressing stylishly and not having it cost me a fortune which I think I have been successful at thus far. I actually find it ironic that something as casual and not fashion forward as a t-shirt was briefly a messenger on it's behalf. On the other hand, graphic tee's are starting to find there way back into my wardrobe but, only if they make me laugh like the one I am wearing today! These tee's are fine for casual fridays and other similar laid back occasions, like when BF and I see Despicable Me tonight. I am so excited! Whose a 5 year old at heart? O yeah, that'd be me...

• Top: graphic tee, Threadless
