Grass is Greener

Today is moving day (or Magic Mike night depending on how you look at it)!  This is what I wore to move.  Practical right?  It was only 3 miles down the road.  Just kidding :-)  But it is moving day...and Magic Mike night...Moving attire for me looks more or less like a 13 year old girl going to gym class.  So stylish I tell ya but I am going to change for Magic Mike night...
Speaking of Magic Mike, I was at my grocery store and noticed a poster advertising that Magic Mike would be performing at the children's section of the public library. My first thought was, ummmm why would Magic Mike be performing for children?!? Then I realized that Magic Mike is actually a local magician. Phew! The kiddies are safe for now. However, I can't help but think that there will be some disappointed desperate housewives that end up showing up to see Magic Mike perform at the library...

Simple Staples

Sometimes wearing simple basic staples such as a white button down and black skirt just makes my life easier.  Not that getting dressed in the morning is a hassle for me or anything.  However, there are those mornings where I've slept in 20 minutes over my normal wake up time and I don't have much time to think about what I want to wear.  Hence, white shirts and black skirts come to the rescue :-)

Sparkles and Green

Since I regretted not buying the green pencil skirt I saw on sale at J Crew two weekends ago when I was in Orlando, I made it a mission to locate another green skirt.  The city I live in does not have a J Crew and since the online price was much higher, it literally hurt to think I'd be paying way more than buying in store.  Luckily, I found this green skirt at Ann Taylor and it had an extra percentage off.  Score!

Colorful Blazers

Today I'm linking up with Marionberry Style's Trend of the Month Challenge.  This month's challenge was colorful blazers.  I do own many blazers but, unfortunately, they're all either black or gray.  I do realize that this blazer is not a bright bright pink but I do think I'm starting to ease into the idea of incorporating more colorful blazers into my wardrobe and try to incorporate them into my courtroom attire.  I'd love for some advice on where to find quality colorful blazers since I do kind of beat up my blazers :-/

Purple and Stripes

The weather is absolutely terrible in Florida and has been non stop raining.  Days like these calls for comfy clothes which to me are pajamas but I can't really wear that to work.  My next comfy outfit is cardigan and pants.  Oh how I long for the days where wearing pajamas to work is acceptable...I promise to make them cute pj's!

Mint Storms

Oh, that's just a tropical storm blowing around behind me.  No big deal.  It didn't stop me from having to go buy more moving supplies and using up birthday gift cards.  I also used the outing as an opportunity to try out my new mint jeans from Loft.  This is my first time venturing out into colored jeans and I think I'm hooked.

The rest of the day was spent packing and trying to catch up on Game of Thrones and Housewives.  Aww, rainy and stormy days...

Business Woman Special

If you recognize where my post title comes from, I love you and we can be friends, if not, you make me feel old and that's bad.  Have a great weekend!

Leopard and Pink Basics

This week has flown by, thankfully.  Unfortunately, the packing that the hubby and I have been procrastinating on must get done this weekend since we're moving next Saturday.  We keep thinking that because we're only move a mile down the road we can make multiple trips if we don't finish packing but this is pure laziness talking.  Hubby actually said to me that maybe I should lessen the shopping trips so we don't have to move so much stuff next week...that man be crazy!

Fashionspirations: Nautical Anchors

This J Crew Anchors Aweigh top was another J Crew sale find over the weekend and I am so so happy to have snagged it.  I fell in love with this shirt when I saw how cute it looked on Tara of Mix and Match Fashion and saw this nautical look on Blair of Atlantic-Pacific.  I see many possibilities with this top :-)  Once again, the top is much cheaper in store than online and has an extra 30% off!

P.S. Please excuse my wrinkly mess.  I am severely incapable of staying neat and tidy during the day :-/

Purples and Knits

While I was in Orlando this past weekend, we stopped by the mall to visit stores that I don't have here locally.  One of my stops was to J Crew and they were having a massive sale.  I think everything I purchased was on sale and there was an extra 30% off on the sale items.  This skirt is one of my sale purchases and is still available online.  I wish I could have picked up some more in different colors.  In store, the skirt was I believe $39.99 with an extra 30% off.  Online, though, the same skirt is like $79.99...grrrrrrr.

Neon Pink

I had Monday off so it's back to the office today.  My hubby and I went to Orlando this weekend for a little shopping and to go to Universal Studios Islands of Adventure.  We have been meaning to go for awhile to see the new Harry Potter attraction and it was awesome!  They did a really great job but one thing I realized is that my tolerance for roller coasters is not high.  I could at one time in my life ride a roller coaster multiple times in a row but, on this trip, I was struggling after the first!  I'm not liking this getting older stuff :-)

Birthday Girl

Today is my 29th birthday.  It's the last year that I can say, "I'm in my 20's,"  and I'm okay with that.  I'm looking forward to making this year great.  I know it sounds cliche to say that but I truly want to kick in my 30s with the expectation that I did my 20's proud or that I accomplished as much as I could.

I look forward to embracing changes that come with growing older and wiser.  I, also, look forward to continuing my career and this lil ole blog.  I never thought I would actually start this blog but I'm so happy that I did.  I've enjoyed reading all the comments and emails and connecting with other bloggers.  I very much look up to you all for daily inspiration and appreciate all the kindness that has been shown to me.  Thank you so much :-)

Happy Father's Day

My dad is the funniest little tall man I know!  He works very hard and instilled in me work ethic while still having fun.  He's a huge sports fan and made all of us determined Florida Gators and NY Yankees fans!  During his speech at my wedding, he made everyone laugh, cry, laugh, and cry and you can tell my the look on our faces, we had a great time!  He also is the only man in a family of 5 women, 8 if you count the dogs, eek!  Happy Father's Day!

All wedding pictures were taken by the amazing Lindsey Tropf of Pure Photography.

Things I learned Friday: After looking at these photos taken in the afternoon, I apparently spend a lot of time sitting on my legs at work and end up with wrinkly pants.  So professional...

We have a fun weekend planned but I don't know what the plans are...hmmm.  Monday is my birthday so hubby said that he is taking me somewhere some day this weekend or Monday but I'm not to know any specifics other than that.  He's always good at planning surprises so I'm excited to find out what he has planned!  I hope everyone has a great weekend :-)

Lemon Lime Dots

More more more more polka dots!  Obsessed I am people!  Is there an age limit on polka dots?  Better yet, I don't want to know so don't answer that ;-)
