Not What I Was Planning Today...

Today I am showing you a new sweater that I picked up off a clearance rack (well, online) at Kohl's just a couple of days ago.  It really is not appropriate for a 90 degree day but I cannot help myself.  I just love the color and the collar.  Besides, my office is ALWAYS cold anyway.  Oh, and there is the small fact that I wear many of the same things all year long... not much for following seasonal trends.  This is what happens when you are so fond of black and white and leather.  Hee Hee

Anyway, I actually had not planned to wear this outfit today at all.  As I have mentioned before, I am very good about planning my outfits at night.  This morning was a moment of "blogger inspiration".  Yes, that is a term.  Look it up.

WEBSTER'S:  "Blogger Inspiration" - the moment that someone viewing a cute outfit decides to duplicate it for their own personal wardrobe.

Seriously, look it up.

I digress...

The offending blogs are:

 

With Or Without Shoes

AND...

Nany's Klozet

When I was running thru my favorite blogs (just recently discovered these two) this morning, I was drawn to each of these lovely printed skirts.  Immediately I decided to rummage thru my closet... there must be something... something...

Here is what I came up with...

This baby has been hiding out in the darkest corners of my closet for months... maybe years.  Honestly, I am not certain how long it has been since I wore it?  Sad.

I think it's cute, girly.  What do you think?

As I mentioned, I pulled out the new sweater to protect me from the "office elements" (also, a term) and to provide some color.  Besides, I like it and needed only a small reason to wear it.  Hee Hee

Next, pull out the beloved Stuart Wietzman heels that I have shown you many times before...

Taada... an outfit is born...

What do you think?

I feel a bit "girly" again today.  Do not mind saying.

Time for idle chat is over.  Off to make some money.

Yes, I Did It... I Posted Again... Matchy, Matchy This Time...

Hey Guys!

It's an early start to another in a string of long days but I wanted to get an outfit post up.  I haven't been able to do that in several days.  I just know that each and every one of my loyal readers have been anxiously checking their computers hoping that today would be the day, huh? 

Hee Hee

Anyway, yhis is actually what I wore yesterday.  Yesterday morning started with a yucky morning.  Much needed rain so I am thankful.

It did turn into a GORGEOUS day after starting out craptastic (thanks again Kassi) but given the start, I decided to go with a longer skirt for the day.

What do you think?  A little different for me, huh?  I like it though.

How cool is this little clasp?

Believe it or not, I bought these shoes the exact same day that I found this skirt.  When I saw them I just knew it was fate.  I had to justify it somehow... the shoes were not on sale.  Hee Hee

They are made for each other... don't you think?

Do you think I could wear these shoes with anything else?

I paired the skirt with this cute little white blouse.  I really didn't want anything taking away from "matchy - matchy" today.  I do love the big buttons on this blouse though.  The big buttons are even on the cuffs!

Simple, white but a little unique. Win - Win.

The blouse is from Talbots.  Not quite Harolds (sigh...) but Talbots is quite nice, too.  I have a few items from that store as well.  Hee Hee

Here is how it all came together.

No witty banter this morning.  Just too early and I have yet to even have my first cup of coffee.

Actually there wouldn't be much to tell anyway.  Just one lady that noticed my "matchy - matchy" skirt and shoes while I was standing in line for lunch.  She was sweet and very complimentary.

In case you are wonering, "No, these babies did not sniff the wet streets."

Today was a sneakers on the way to work, heels when I got to the office type of day.  Do you ever do that?  I did wear them home though... naturally.

I will honestly try to get today's outfit posted before the weekend is over.  Promise.
