Outfit of the Week

Hey there!
Today I bring you another installment of my work week outfits. Why only 3 you ask? I decided that not all of my outfits are always pulled together at 2:30am when I'm getting ready for work. If I pick my best 3 outfits each week I've got a little wiggle room for error. 
This deep cobalt blue shirt is one if my favorites from Target. It's easy to wear and the silhouette suits me well. I pair it with a gray/brown textured pant from Gap. These pants are soft and very comfortable. The shoes are slip resistant pumps from Payless. 
This was a fun outfit. I'm always delighted on the slight chance I can wear jeans to work. These jeans are from Eighty Eight Jeans and I found them on Zulily. They fit perfect and go with any outfit. This top used to be a dress that shrunk and is now too short, so I just fold under the bottom. I got it at Target along with the black sweater that has Black rhinestones on the shoulders. I get compliments on the sweater all the time. 
Here I paired a black cropped blazer from Mine Too found on Zulily with a short sleeve button up top from Nordstrom Rack. The top has a nice brown dot design and tabs on the sleeves. The pants are my trusty NYDJ that I bought from Hautelook. The necklace is from Zulily and the earrings from Forever21 (they have such cute inexpensive earrings and so far they do not irritate my ears!). I'm pretty sure this outfit would have looked nicer with the shirt tucked in and a black belt but the NYDJ come pretty high up and would not have worked out that way. 

Nothing too exciting this time, some weeks I'm so tired it's hard to get creative at all. I've also got certain criteria I have to follow for our dress code. Boo! Someday I'll have a job that let's me dress however I want! 

I should be getting my first DIY finished by the end of the week and stay tuned for Thumbs Up Thursday as well!

Thanks for reading,
Til next time

Outfit of the Week

Hey there!
Today I am going to spot light the first of continual weekly work outfit posts. I have 3 outfits to show today. 
I am kicking myself because I had made awesome homemade meatballs last night and as I was pulling them out of the oven I thought "this would have been an awesome post for the blog!" But alas I did not have any pictures of the ingredients or the process or the before or after and therefor had NOTHING to post. I'm sure it was beginner blogger mistake. I'll get with the program sooner or later. 
Please excuse my lack of hairstyle. I get up at 2am to be to work at 3 so I sometimes forgo the hair. Here are 3 of my favorite outfits this week:
This top is from Zulily, brand eci New York. It is very flattering, has a nice fitted shape and I LOVE the color, with the black stripe down the sleeve adds a nice edge. The pants are NYDJ also purchased on sale at Zulily (love this site BTW, you can find some pretty sweet deals) they have hidden panels and a high waist to keep my tummy pooch tucked away! This scarf is my absolute favorite. It is light weight but soft and feels very comfortable around my neck. It's an infinity style scarf and the pattern is awesome, the colors go lovely together with the top. I got a great deal on it using a Shoptiques gift card I received in a Popsugar Must Have box and bought the scarf for just over $2 which was what remained on the shipping after the gift card was applied! My earrings are from Forever 21 and I cannot get enough of them. This is my go to look on a weekly basis and I usually just trade out the pants for jeans with boots.
I get so many compliments on this shirt that I bought from Nordstrom Rack ( great store for bargain finds!) it's shear so I pair it with a plain grey tank top also from Nordstrom Rack the black skinny jeans are from Target and I wear them all the time, they are so comfortable and fit really well! The shoes are slip resistant maryjanes from Payless (SR required for work). I forgot to accessorize this morning! 
This outfit was fun to put together and wear. The dress and belt are from Charming Charlie. The leggings are Hue brand and I bought them from Amazon (BEST leggings ever, soft, comfortable, still hold everything in place HA! I wish I had 5 more pairs) the blazer is  LC Lauren Conrad boyfriend blazer from Kohls. No matter how I dress it up or down I always get compliments on it. The silver cable heart necklace is Rampage brand found on Zulily. The shoes again from Payless.
Don't mind my badge/ID lanyard I usually have to snap these shots while running around during the day.  
Hope you enjoyed these looks and I can't wait to show you what outfits I pull together next week!

Thanks for reading!
