Happy Friday!!  I'm so excited and ready for the weekend and I'm sure you guys are also.  It's my friend's birthday today so we are taking her out for dinner and drinks, which is a perfect way to end the week (or kick off the weekend depending on your point of view...).  

I picked up this Tibi skirt on a whim during the sample sale, but it has quickly become one of my favorite pieces.  The bottom of the skirt is so cute and unique.  I'm wearing it casually here with a white t-shirt, but can't wait to dress it up for work (maybe with a white shirt and white blazer) or to go out (with a great blue shirt (not my denim chambray :) ) or stripe top).

What are you guys up to this weekend?

I hope you have a great weekend!

I hope your week is going well!  I bought this skirt a while ago during the Bloomies end of season sale and have been waiting patiently to wear it.  I'm so glad the warm weather is here and I can finally wear it!  I love the color and would normally pair it with a white t-shirt for a more casual look, but decided to dress it up with this silk shirt.  I can see why everyone is going crazy for those Equipment silk shirts!  This blouse is so versatile, a great color and a perfect way to add polish to a look.  And did I mention it is machine washable?  Perfect!

Have a great day!

I hope your week is going well!  It's funny, but I always thought of myself as a pants person before I started this blog but I think that was just a function of working in male-dominated fields (consulting) and really cold climates (looking at you Chicago and Madison...).  At the beginning of the year, I started a new job in a majority female office here in Atlanta and have really embraced my femininity and style.  In the process, I've discovered that I actually love skirts (and apparently white ones (see here, here).  

When I saw this skirt is Zara, I thought about it for a nanosecond before buying it in black and white.  You know a piece is a good buy when you are creating outfits with it before you have even bought it!  I love the split front which is sexy but not in your face.  I love the ruffle detailing on the top of this shirt which elevates from basic to sophisticated.  Add in my favorite Fendi pumps (love the heel!) and a pop of color clutch and I'm ready to go (location tbd....)!

Has a new job ever changed your style?  How did it change?

Have a great day!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  It was beautiful here (though way too much pollen!).  I had friends in town so it was a weekend of catching up and great meals.  

I've been really into stripes recently (and pink is one of my favorite colors), so when I saw this skirt at Gap recently, I had to have it.  I love the exposed zipper on the back.  Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of other people loved it also since it is sold out online, but I saw in stores last week.  I paired it with my trusted denim shirt (why didn't I buy one of these sooner?!) and my favorite Stuart Weitzman sandals (which are so comfortable!) for a day of running errands and transitioning to a backyard BBQ dinner with friends.  

I also wore my new Bauble Bar earrings for the first time and I got so many compliments on them!  I normally rock a statement necklace, but I've been getting more into great earrings recently (any excuse to buy new jewelry, lol!) and these neon and turquoise ones are perfect for spring summer.

Have a great day!

Happy Friday!! 

Do you ever have those days when you feel like crap and try to pull together a cute outfit that can make you feel great and like you might be able to take on the world?  Whenever I feel like crap, I always try to dress up because it makes me feel better.  This last month has been a slog at work as we worked to hit a deadline yesterday (which we did!!!), and there were some days I just felt like showing up in sweatpants after catching 4-6 hours of sleep.  (I'm a 7-8 hour girl.)  On those days, I would always reach for an outfit like this to make me feel better.  There is something about looking great (and a big cup of coffee) that makes me feel instantly better.  I sometimes would cheat and put a pair of flats in my bag though because the last thing my tired body wants is sore feet!  

I loved the color scheme from this outfit last week so much that I decided to reverse it.  I made this outfit a little more fun with a pair of fishnets that I've wanted to break out for a while.  I'm sorry they didn't show up that well in the pictures, but I love them and they keep the outfit from being too sweet.  Also, I find nude fishnets a lot easier to wear to work than black one (and I work in a very creative industry!).  

Now that we've finished this project, I'm going to take a long nap this weekend and try to recover from the lack of sleep over the last month!  What are you guys up to this weekend?  How do you make yourselves feel better when you really don't feel like getting dressed for work?

Have a great weekend!
