Familiar Stripes

Hello, Friday!  I've missed you..  I will need this weekend to go by very slowly so that Monday stays away as long as possible.  Happy weekend :-)

Sweater: The Limited  /  Skirt: The Limited  /  Shoes: C Label Hudson 10  /  Handbag: Louis Vuitton  /  Jewelry: J Crew, Stella and Dot, Ebay

Basically Basic

It's true, my style is simple.  Is that a bad thing though?  I always go for comfort over style but try to balance the line of trying to look nice while still feeling comfortable.  Although there isn't much excitement with this outfit, it's comfortable, and for me, that's okay :-)

Gingham Style

I feel so out of the loop on what is popular nowadays.  It's crazy to realize how much my priorities have changed.  Some for the better and some for worse.  However, I consider being up to date on pop culture top priority...just kidding...maybe...I just recently jumped on the Gangnam Style bandwagon and if you haven't seen or heard the video/song, I highly encourage it and the SNL skit to accompany.  I don't know what the song means and probably should have found out before recommending it.  Hmmm, I will consider that thought in the future :-)

Champagne Wishes

Another Monday down.  Work has been piling up lately but I try not to let that stress or bring me down.  At these moments, I just try to remember how hard I have worked to get to the position that I am at now.  I try to remember back to those days of camping out at the law school library or staying up almost all night studying for the bar exam.  It was a lot of hard work, so, I don't throw myself a pity party.  Instead, I try to remember back to the Maria that hoped and prayed would be right where I am right now...swamped drafting and prepping for hearings but secretly loving every minute.  Does anyone else have ways to get your mind off of stress?

Southern Prep

I am such a stinkin' hypocrite in this outfit.  See, the top portion makes you think it's actually fall whereas the bottom portion is a reminder that I live in Florida.  I'm one of those people that is always cold.  Cardigans and sweaters are a must for me.  Here's to hoping for a great week :-)

Grandfather Shirt

A couple years ago, my grandfather came from Puerto Rico to stay with my parents for a little while.  I was living in Jacksonville at the time but would come visit every weekend to spend time with him.  He used to wear a shirt, similar to the one I'm wearing, all the time to the point it got a hole in it.  He asked me to throw the shirt away since he couldn't wear it anymore but I must have gotten it mixed in with my laundry since I found it in my suitcase when I got back home.  He passed away shortly after but I never threw the shirt away and keep it on my blanket throw stand for safe keeping.  It's an odd memento to keep but warms my heart whenever I catch a glimpse of it.  Has anyone else kept odd mementos?
