tuesday (my thing)

old navy v-neck sweater   banana republic skirt {thrifted}

merona belt {thrifted target stock}   mossimo wanda wedges

my two coworkers and i were visiting after a meeting today we had with another colleague who always accessories with very distinctive earrings.  it got us to questioning what our "thing" is in terms of fashion or appearance.  one of my coworkers said that i always wear cute handmade skirts and that i have cute shoes.  what a compliment!  is it true?  i'm not sure, some of the skirts i make are misses and i always wear the same shoes over & over (although i did pick up this pair and another pair at target the other day on mega clearance!) but i thought it was nice that they noticed things that they think are very "me."  do you think you have a distinctive or identifiable aspect to your appearance, or do you wish that you did?  i wish i could think of better ways to style my hair each day or that i could keep up with polishing my nails... good things to remember when i have some down time and want to devote a little extra time to "me!"

ps:  the inspiration for my outfit today is kelley at threads & buttons.  i only wish my scarf was longer and i could have tied it like hers, isn't that magenta & khaki such a great color combination?  i've already copied one look from her, hopefully she doesn't start charging!

friday (belted)

 

 

jcrew chiffon ruffle blouse {thrifted nwt-i know!}   merona doubleweave slacks {thrifted new}

scarf as belt   merona maribel wedges {thrifted new}   target necklace

happy belt day!  i decided that since i wear a belt almost every day i needed to up my game, so i whipped out this scarf and my sheer chiffon blouse... can you tell i'm really going crazy on a friday?  one of the service coordinators at my grad school internship who worked in a senior high rise gave me this scarf.  i think it was given to her by one of the residents?  so it wasn't really gifted to me, just given to me because she didn't want it.  never to turn down free accessories (or free food, i still have that grad school mentality), i've held onto it post-internship for over two years now and this is the first time i've tried to wear it in any way.  better late than never.

also, it's bothering me so i feel the need to point out that the bulge in my pocket on the close-up shot of my scarf belt is my cell phone in my pocket.  :\

ann wishes you all a happy weekend!
