A Day At The Aquarium

Linen Crab Top: J.Crew

All Plaid All The Time

As I'm sure you have now realized, I am a big supporter of plaid.

To say I have a few plaid shirts is an understatement.

I love them because I think they are a classic, versatile, piece

 that can be worn in lots of different ways!

I tend to style it in preppy way, but plaid can be easily styled to fit your personality.

How do you wear your plaid?

Necklace: J.Crew Factory

Bracelet: Madewell

Cardigan: J.Crew Factory

  Plaid Button Up Shirt: J.Crew Factory

Skinny Khakis: American Eagle

Boots: Payless

Lunch With Friends

A couple weeks ago (when we still had snow here...) I went to lunch with my good friend Trixi and our friend Derek who was visiting from NYC. We went to this great restaurant called Mazza that is absolutely delicious. It was great catching up with them!

I have this thing that if I don't wear something in my closet I have to get rid of it. (Okay, lets say I'm trying REALLY hard to do this. It's easier said then done!) Hence the faux fur vest I am wearing in todays post. It's not my favorite, yet I never get rid of it when I do closet clean outs.

Faux fur isn't really my thing. I feel weird wearing it, it scares my pets, and I constantly worry people will think its real. That said, I bought this vest a few years back for a Halloween costume where I was a wolf, and every now and then I force myself to wear it in order to get my moneys worth and allow it to keep living in my closet.

Here is what I wore to lunch:

Necklace: J.Crew Factory

Bracelet: Madewell (Available at www.Madwell.com)

Plaid Shirt: J.Crew Factory

Faux Fur Vest: Charlotte Russe

Jeans: Dylan George (Nordstrom Rack)

Boots: Merona (Target)

French Hen at Work

You guys know how much I love my French Hen sweater. I pretty much wear it every opportunity I get! One of my favorite ways to wear an animal motif is with a button up shirt. I think it helps what could be considered a juvenile clothing item look more age appropriate.

"French Hen" Sweater- J.Crew Factory

Plaid Shirt- J.Crew Factory

Jeggings- American Eagle Outfitters

Boots- Charlotte Russe

Handbag- Steven by Steve Madden (Nordstrom)  



Back To Work!

Awhile back I used to work at a ticket office. It was a job I always enjoyed. After about 5 years away I decided to come back. I'm glad I did! I work with some great people and the job is really fun.
I'm still doing lots of merchandising, but its nice to be able to bring home some extra money. :)
Here is what I wore for one of my first shifts back:

Plaid Shirt- Lucky Brand (Macy's)

Black Skirt- J.Crew

Belt- BP (Nordstrom)

Black Boots- Charlotte Russe

Bracelet- Madewell

Fall Friday Working

Last Friday I had to head downtown to merchandise and meet with a department store manager. I wanted to be able to move mannequins around while still looking professional and fashionable. It was a little chilly Friday so I was excited to get to wear my deer sweater that I bought at the Nordstrom Anniversary sale last July. (You guys know how much I love an animal motif!) Here is what I wore:

 

Plaid Button Up Shirt -Lucky Brand (I got mine at the Macy's store, but

they are still available at www.macys.com and www.luckybrand.com)

Deer Sweater -Halogen (Nordstrom)

Bracelets -Madewell (Madewell store at The Grove Mall in LA)

Jeans -AG Jeans (Nordstrom)

Boots - Zigi Soho (Still available at www.DSW.com)

These boots are quickly becoming my go to boots this fall.

They are so comfy!
