casual friday jeans.

old navy sweetheart skinny jeans   ·   mossimo sweater {thrifted target stock}
lands end button-down {thrifted / similar}   ·   old navy flats {similar}

sept 13th / i knew i wanted to wear my black skinny jeans again today and my new toms that came in the mail yesterday (love toms so much), so with half of the outfit put together i just had to figure out what to wear on top!  our temps have been dipping down this week, enough that i felt i could wear a lightweight sweater layered over a button-down.  the toms didn't end up feeling right when i got to the office (too casual with the button-down/sweater/necklace combination), so i was glad i have an old pair of black flats in my desk drawer.  i've worn this top-half of the combination before but i like what i like and i would wager that none of you would remember i'd worn it before anyway!  happy weekend!

tuesday (brougt to you by fay)

 

 haberdashery by fay's closet blazer {thrifted}   isaac mizrahi for target button-down {thrifted}

old navy sweater   merona doubleweave skirt {thrifted target stock}

how great are navy & green together?  and how great are old blazers that you find at the goodwill for $1.49 with funny names like "haberdashery - by fay's closet"?  these things rank pretty high on my list of awesome things and boy, i sure waited a long time in line to buy just this blazer for $1.49, so that should tell you just how serious i am about this!  well, my funny named blazer and i have to go grocery shopping now, hopefully if i can get that out of the way fairly quickly i can justify a stop at the GW on my way home to see if there are any more $1.49 blazers that need to come home with me.  have a good evening!

friday.

as a new blogger, i'm feeling a little daunted trying to "introduce" myself to my readers.  i'm taking a tip from something i saw on another blog {ashlee at casual & clueless} and posting a fact about myself for the first week of to l&s.  i'm looking forward to getting to know you all as well, too!

#4: i love to coupon!

no, not the "extreme couponing" that you might have seen on tlc.  my favorite part of the week is sunday mornings when i get to flip through the ads and coupon inserts and file them away in my coupon binder.  one should never pay more for something than you need to, and couponing helps with that!  i've had some pretty awesome trips to the register in the past and it's all about combining great sales with coupons.  there are a few blogs i follow that are great about getting people going with coupons and sales, let me know if you're interested in the links!  is anyone else out there a fellow couponer?

so, one should never be the last one in the office on a friday, but if you are it can be the perfect time to snap a quick outfit photo.  since starting this blog a whoppin' three days ago i have constantly been scanning the sides of the roads to & from the office and when i am out in the community meeting with clients for places to take pictures.  those perfect locations aren't always going to pop up though, so sometimes you just have to make do and head home!
