monday (4/23)

merona tie-neck blouse {thrifted target stock}  gap v-neck sweater
handmade (by me) skirt {fabric here}   merona milena wedges {thrifted target stock}

if i take a quick glance in my closet, i see lots of pinks, purples, maroon, and blue cardigans.  maybe that's why i'm always drawn to those colors at the fabric store, too.  i always bypass the blacks, grays, and tans and hover around the purples & blues.  i love the floral print and the richness of the colors.  very, very me.  click the link above if you'd like to see a swatch of the fabric from joann.com; i'm not sure how many people who pop by here are sewers or are interested in the fabric i use, but i'll try to link to the fabric that i use if i can find it online!  have a nice evening!

monday (pants: take one)

 merona argyle sweater & tie neck blouse {thrifted target stock}
mossimo slacks {thrifted target stock}   old navy desert wedges
i've decided that this week will be a self-imposed pants week here at l&s.  i don't often see many of my fellow bloggers wear dress slacks, even those who work in business environments.  i have a lot of nice slacks that sit in my closet, but if i do reach for a pair it's always my standard black pair.  so, in an effort to switch it up a bit around here {i'm sure you are all sick of seeing the handmade skirts i wear every other day}, i'm going to be wearing pants all week!  i can't think of anything more exciting!  to start things off, this is a pair of mossimo slacks i found as new target stock at the goodwill.  i even have the skirt to match. for a nice dark, neutral gray they unfortunately don't get worn very often.

it's pretty obvious that i love my target, and i love my donated target stock that i find at the goodwill even more.  i was at a foster the people concert last night and didn't get home until midnight, so thank goodness for these pants that were already laid out for me for pants week and another quick selection of a blouse & cardigan from my closet that paired well together.  the concert was pretty much worth my reduction in sleep, but i could have enjoyed it a lot more... like if i were three feet taller and more tolerant of obnoxious people.  isn't that how it always goes?!  i always thought i was of average height, but not at concerts!  either way, they put on a great show and it was fun to see this band live whose cd pretty much hasn't left the player in my car for months.  are you a fan (of my outfit or the band, take your pick!)?

tuesday (denim)

old navy cardigan   merona purple ruffle shell {thrifted target stock}
old navy diva trouser jeans   mossimo "kat" booties   kohls jewelry

today i went to an all day workshop series for continuing education credits for my social work licensure.  i've talked about attending theses events before and how interesting it is to be surrounded my other colleagues, as i'm always curious about how peers my age dress.  however, my boss texted me last night stating that it was okay to wear jeans, so i knew this would definitely be a more casual atmosphere.  if we were allowed to wear jeans on fridays at my office, this is what i would probably wear--trouser jeans, heels, and a nice cardigan and blouse.  it was definitely fun to wear an outfit like this today since i never get to dress so casually at work!
