a day to remember.

Well, last Thursday was an unforgettable day.  I filed a brief a week early, which never happens.  In fact, it was the first time it happened in all my 9 years in the legal field.  It felt glorious!  Unfortunately, that feeling was short lived.  After the filing, I made a quick stop to the ATM machine across the street.  It was a some-what windy day, but that didn't stop me from wearing my white pleated skirt.  Oh boy was that a bad decision.  It took one gust of wind to blow my skirt completely up and expose my knickers to everyone waiting in line.  I hope I never see those people again.  Haha.  I still *blush* when I think about it.

My Marilyn Monroe moment.

glimpses from the week 3/5 - 3/11.

1. Ry and I in Comstock's magazine - March issue.   2. red dress, horse blanket (according to Ry) and some of my favorite black heels.   3. Lucy, Lucy!!!  my favorite store for running apparel.   4. haha, the man behind the honey-badger voice. he's hilarious.   5. picked up our bibs at lunch. Chompers and G Money. luv it!   6. city of trees.   7. carb loading.   8. Shamrock'n 1/2 marathon.   9. little behind on my reading. ahhh, lazy sunday.   10. drunken noodles and pad thai. romantical din din with the boy.

 Hope y'all had a great day.  xx

jean button-up.

I can’t believe I still own and wear this jean button-up shirt.  I purchased it back in 1996… yep, 16 years ago when I was in 8th grade.  That is just craziness!  I must’ve been swimming in it back then.  Wish I had a picture of that.  Daaanng-it!  <grin>

green pleated skirt.

It's been awhile since I've done an outfit post.  As I've told my dear friend, Jen, I feel a little silly when taking the photos <big grin>.  But I do like documenting my outfits so I can refer back to them for inspiration.  Sooooo here you go, Jen.... thanks for pushing me to do this.  I'm going to try and do one a week.  No promises tho.  hehee

 I wore this outfit to work earlier this week. 

Ry's favorite pose... hand-on-the-chin.  Ooooh yeah!

Even the smallest polka dots, but a smile on my face.

sparkle on.

Yeah, I wore a gold sequin skirt to work today.  What?!  I thought the office could use a little sparkle… a little fancy.

funky combination.

I'm all about trying to mix patterns and textures.  Surprisingly, my favorite button-up shirt went well over this eyelet dress.  I topped off the outfit with a brown belt and some new shades.

Whiteout

I wore this outfit to work last week. 
I love to wear all white, but only
when my skin has some color.

Wardrobe Staple

This is one of my favorite work dresses. 

I like to wear it with a little something underneath 

and with my leopard heels.
