What I'm Wearing: Back to the Grind

And I'm back! Did you guys miss me? I know I missed you guys! It is seriously hard to get dressed for work after a long, but fun weekend. My brain was not functioning at a high level this morning, so picking out clothing was a daunting task. In hindsight, I probably should have wore something that concealed the fact that I'm pregnant...with a food baby. My little food baby grew more and more with each Christmas meal, but that is neither here nor there I suppose.

Did you all have a good Christmas? I had a wonderful holiday weekend. I love spending time with family. I got a lot of great stuff - I feel extremely spoiled. I wore a few of the items my parents gave me today! Like I said, I wasn't feeling particularly creative, so I pulled out a charcoal textured pencil skirt, a long sleeve gray t-shirt and just added pops of color with the teal tights and printed scarf. I put a brooch on the scarf just to add a little more interest to the outfit and topped it all off with a huge butterfly ring.  Actually, funny story about the butterfly ring - some random midde-aged man chased me down an aisle at the grocery store shouting after me just to tell me "That's a nice ring." Weird, but I thanked him nonetheless.

I received this pretty black trench for Christmas. It was the perfect topper for today's outfit.

Top: Simply Vera Wang (gift), Scarf: Fossil (gift), Brooch: Old and laying around, 
Skirt: New York & Company, Tighs: Hue (gift), Boots: Cato

    It was definitely tough getting back to the grind today. You look great though. Those blue tights are awesome. Weird that the man chased you down about the ring, but at least he was passionate, lol!

    You look lovely! I really like the addition of the blue tights to this outfit. I had a wonderful Christmas. I'm still off of work until January 4th, and I only imagine right now how difficult it's going to be getting up at 5:30am again!

    Kassi, You look awesome! So glad you had a great holiday. Oh and.... I am glad to hear you like your new tissue box display. Just FYI, to replace your next box, you need to remove the ring around the "leaves" it's on the underside. I'm sure you'll find it... ENjoy!

    you look so sleek and chic, I don't see the food baby...;-) Great skirt, fits you like a glove, the circle scarf and trench completes the whole look. Have a fun holiday, the chunky ring is adorable too.

    Happy Holidays, sweetie! I am glad you're back! Ok, so I seriously jumped up the seat when I read you're pregnant... oh, with the "food baby" :) which I can't tell at all because you look great! I love how you added pop of colors, and let me tell you, grey and blue looks gorgeous on you! Those tights are awesome, and the ring so deserves compliments!
    Good luck!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Your comments always make me giddy like a school girl on a sugar high. Leave your link so I can creep on you. The good kind of creeping. Not the kind where I hang your pictures in my room or anything. (awkward shuffle)

Fashionably yours,
