What I'm Wearing: Sweet On Sunday

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. I am so full of snot (overshare?) and my head feels like it weighs close to 20 pounds. Sinus infections are stupid. Anyway, I am trying to get over being sick so I don't have a whole lot to say.

This pleated skirt reminds me of a warm spring day and when I am feeling gross, I try to cheer myself up with bright colors. I saw this coral color gleaming from the rack and knew the skirt had to be mine. I paired it with a pussy bow (hee hee) blouse, sheer polka-dotted tights, shiny nude shoes and a pearl bracelet.

What I'm Wearing: Golden Grrrrrl

Whew. Today has just been one of those days. First of all, I had a restless night due to the fact that my little baby dog had a seizure. Luckily this one didn't last long, but I had a hard time getting back to sleep after it was over. Secondly, work was quite busy. The phone rang off the hook all day long coupled with the fact I needed to meet some deadlines. So needless to say I am a little ran down. I came home, ate some dinner and dozed off only to wake up around 6:25pm and realize that there is no way I will be able to make the 6:30pm Zumba class I intended to go to (it's 16 minutes away).  But it's okay. I consoled myself with a large bowl of Edy's Samoa (girl scout cookie) Ice Cream. Yum.

I know you all must never grow tired of my terrible puns and word play and that is why you have the title "Golden Grrrrrl " today. It's because I am wearing goldenrod and leopard. Get it? Yeah, it wasn't great. I apologize. :) I did wear black and brown together today which I absolutely love. Leopard lends itself well to mixing the two colors seamlessly. Speaking of seams, I am off to sew with my mom. Hopefully I will not have to rip too many seams and start over again. Oh the joys of learning to sew.

What I'm Wearing: Mork and Mindy

Greetings, earthlings. I come to you from a planet called Awesome, where my people walk around in metallic leggings and are not stared at like a circus side show. I titled this post "Mork and Mindy" because it's a little space age and a little 80's all rolled into one. Apparently it is customary for people in my small town to stare at me like I just fell from the sky when I wear something a bit different like a sequined sweater and metallic leggings. People wearing Tweety bird shirts have the right to judge my clothing? That's rich.

I found this amazing sweater at the Salvation Army for $2. It's black, has sequins and beaded bows! What's not to love? I love that it's long enough that I can safely pair it with a pair of leggings. I could have went with black or gray leggings, but I saw these babies in my drawer and knew they were the ones. I paired the outfit with some scaly looking pumps and some big chandelier earrings.

What I'm Wearing: Twinkle, Twinkle

Hello everyone! How were your weekends? Mine was fantastic and busy. I even got to play several games of laser tag which I thoroughly enjoyed. Yes, I am a child. I don't want to grow up and you can't make me! Do any of you do anything or eat anything (ahem, Sarah) that is childlike?

Today I was not in the fashion groove. I pulled out this skirt that I haven't wore in a few moons and built my outfit around it. The next thing I grabbed was this great camel blazer that I don't wear nearly enough. I was looking for a way to jazz up this dull ensemble and was ferociously digging through my tanks and camis looking for a bright color or detailed top to make this outfit interesting. When I pulled out this sequined tank I thought "Ding, Ding, Ding! We have a winner!" It meshes well with the color palette and adds some panache to an otherwise boring outfit.

What I'm Wearing: Pick Me!

Good day to you all! Hope you have all had a fabulous weekend. Mine has been busy, but lovely. My endless parade of fun hosiery is still  going strong today with this floral pair. I actually gave these tights to my mom in her stocking two Christmases ago and she gave them back to me saying "These don't look good on my fat legs." Her legs are nowhere near what I would call fat, but alas I gladly welcomed another pair of fun tights into my growing collection.


Valentine's Day is approaching. Some of you may love the holiday, some of you may hate it. I am somewhere in the middle in a zone that I call "meh." It feels like a very forced holiday where guys sweat out getting their girl something that will keep them from being angry. At least that's how I see it. My husband and I usually have a very low key Valentine's Day which is more than fine with me. This year I am thinking a pasta dinner with a glass of wine in the comfort of our own home. Do you guys go all out for Valentine's Day?

What I'm Wearing: Purple People Eater

Hello lovelies! Are you all getting sick of my hosiery collection yet? I feel like I live in tights/leggings in the winter. Wearing dress pants gets boring to me and I feel like I have more options with skirts/dresses and fun hosiery. Do you have something you have an extensive collection of? My other two ridiculous collections are shoes and belts. I don't even want to know how many I have. I might be embarrassed by it.

So, in some of these photos my tank and tights look bluish, but I swear they are purple. I haven't wore a lot of purple this winter and I feel that is a shame. It is such a beautiful color and a great alternative to black or navy! I paired a colorful mini skirt with a basic tank, flowy sweater, flower embellished belt, purple tights, a simple necklace and suede boots.

What I'm Wearing: Pretty Pleats

Hello darlings! I hope you are all having a fabulous day! The sun was out today and it was glorious. I am pretty in love with these thick black polka dot tights. I don't feel like I have wore them nearly enough, but I like you guys to think I am sanitary so I will refrain from wearing them daily. Glad we cleared that up.

One of the best discoveries of my life (ok, that might be a slight exaggeration) is that you can wear a top, sweater or jacket over a dress and totally transform it. I got this darling dress at Nordstrom for a decent price back in November. Today I decided to put a see through knit sweater over it so it looks like I am just wearing a pleated mini-skirt. I really love the way this looks. I accessorized with a cool belt, necklace and adorable shoes. I am quite smitten with this outfit, if I could wear an outfit like this every day, I totally would.

Check out this pose. You know you're impressed.
