Saturday & Sunday...

Hey Guys!!!! 

Surprise, surprise... I have BOTH outfits that I wore/am wearing this weekend in today's post!  Whoo Hoo!!

Unfortunately, I am not terribly "inspired" today in terms of what I might have to say.  Many of you are thinking... "Finally!"  Hopefully at least some of you are thinking... "Dangit!"

Saturday was mostly work followed by a few errands near the end of the day.  I have left comments on many blogs regarding my favorite Saturday attire and yesterday was one such day.

Leather pants and a great sweater.  This really is my "go to" combination at this time of the year.

Here is what I wore to the office & then out for errands:

Bright enough for you?  I am not certain that I am "sold" on this sweater just yet.  What do you think?  I did get a few interesting looks while out & about yesterday but that could have been the pants and not the sweater at all.  Who knows?

I did not tuck it it.  I felt like the bottom of this sweater is really best left out.  It's a little more casual worn that out anyway.  Should have I tucked?

Love these shoes but I don't really think they are appropriate with a skirt (at least not at work) so they do not get a lot of wear.

Do you like them paired with the leather pants?

And the complete ensemble...

Today has been an ordinary Sunday.

I got up this morning, did my workout and then dressed for church.  I rarely bother to change once I have dressed for the day so I am sitting here in my apartment "over dressed" by most people's standards.

What can I say, I like to be "over dressed".  If you have read my blog at all that comes as no surprise.

Here is what I am wearing today:

You have seen this skirt before.  I intentionally chose a demure sweater to pair with it as I did not want anything to take away from the hem line.  I think it is gorgeous.  So "girly".

These shoes... well, these shoes... LOVE!

And the finished look...

As I said, not really very inspired today.  Actually a little tired.  Going to catch up on the last few episodes of "Pretty Little Liars" that I have on the DVR and call it a day.  Not a big TV watcher but that is a show that caught my eye several months ago.  I am now addicted.  Yes, I know it really isn't for adults.  Hee Hee.  Have you watched though, it certainly isn't for kids either.

Have A Great Week!

Bell Of The Ball...

Today's post will be quick.  I have to get to work early this morning for a conference call.

It is going to be a wonderful day today so I decided to celebrate with a "girly" ensemble.

No, I did not go with a sheer blouse or with ruffles or even pleats.

Today I am wearing a pinstriped skirt with a lovely lace detailed finish at the hem.  I added a pretty pink blouse to give the outfit some color.  Last night I had planned to wear my boots but this morning I decided to go with some simple black heels so that there was nothing to draw attention from the hemline.

At the moment I am simply in love with it.

I have not been able to stop smiling since I finished getting dressed this morning.

I just LOVE being so happy with an outfit,  It just starts my day off on the right foot.  It puts a smile on my face.  I just feel like I have an extra bounce in my step.  Isn't funny how clothes can do that to you?  I guess that is why we all like them so much, huh?

So here is what I have pulled together for today...

As I said, the shoes are simple.  They are not even real suede but they are comfortable.  Although not as sharp as my Stuart Wietzman heels (see here), I think that they are attractive.  What do you think?

The blouse is so soft and the shiny.  I really feel like a girl when I wear it.  What do you think?

Wanted to show you how the blouse and skirt come together.

The "star of the show" in my mind is this hemline.

What do you think?

So there you have it.  I am sitting here at the computer with a smile on my face.  I bet I will be glowing all day!

Oh, by the way, I cannot even begin to tell you how many compliments I received on the new skirt I showed you in the previous post and I have not even worn it to work yet.  I am saving that for next week when everyone returns from vacation.  At least three or four ladies made wonderful comments to me about it while I was out shopping.  That will put a smile on your face, too.

 Do you ever pull together an outfit that makes you smile?

Hope You Have A Happy Day!
