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!

What Do You Wear For Saturday Errands?

Well, what do you wear to run your weekend errands?  

If you read me my blog at all you probably know that I am not really the "jeans & t-shirt type" so naturally my weekend look is a little different.

Today, I spent a great deal of time Christmas shopping in addition to the usual stops at the grocery store and dry cleaner.  To finish the day I met some girlfriends for dinner, drinks and gossip.  Fun.  It's tough to beat a day of shopping and time with good friends.

Speaking of Christmas, a fairly large box arrived from mom sometime Friday afternoon but she left me strict instructions not to open it until Christmas.  Ugh!  Mom always sends me something for Christmas but this is by far the biggest box that has had my name on it since I was about 15 years old.  I feel a bit like I am 9 years old again each time I walk by it.  Hee Hee

Okay, on to what I wore...

As I have commented on many blogs, my favorite Saturday look is simply a great sweater and a pair of my leather pants.  Easy.  Comfortable.  Just a bit of edge.  Sometimes I go with the jeans but this time I opted for the slacks for a "dressier" look.  Believe it or not, this really is how you will catch me most Saturdays during the cooler months of the year.

 

I wish the pictures did the color of the sweater a little more justice as it really is not gray at all.  It is actually a lovely olive shade and quite complimentary to the black slacks, at least in my opinion.

To finish off the look I opted for a pair of my short boots.  I like my shoes but I am certainly a "boot girl", too.

So there you have it, simple.  No bright colors.  No "girly" textures or patterns.  I think the leather pants do enough on their own so when it is a simple day of errands, finished with a relaxing dinner and drinks with friends I like to keep is easy and comfortable.

Well, what do you think?
