Sneaky Casual

This outfit is a little more casual than was probably called for on a Thursday at work ~ but it was my second-to-last day, I was still feeling fairly cruddy & I took a half day. So I fenaggled what basically amounts to a nightgown, hooded sweatshirt & stretchy pants, by adding key words/items such as 'tunic', 'leggings'/belt.

Clever comfy. Sneaky casual.

I'm also wearing another one of those nifty pins that my talented cousin Renee creates over at Sassy Peaches. They are a must-own, truly.

tunic: gift from my mom, hoodie: LA Kitty {$9!}, leggings & boots: Target, belt: Charlotte Russe, bauble barrette: Sassy Peaches, earrings: from Adeline.

I love Valentine's Day. A lot. We had a wonderful & perfect one. I won't say too much about it {to avoid the barf factor}, but details-spared; we exchanged gifts + cards, had dinner and watched a movie. The gifts we gave each other were both for things we get to go do as a pair at later dates ~ which, to me, shows how much we really like each other.

This is what I wore to watch the Superbowl at a friend's place. That is pretty much the only thing I did in this outfit as I spent the rest of the day lounging around in shoulders-to-shins sweatpant material.

Skerry Flerrdy Berrdy

I love the Swedish Chef. He is so pleasant. I've met a few Swedes in my life and they were equally amiable.

The shirt under this dress is sort of tunic-y & unflattering. I haven't worn it really since I first got it. But I decided to try the shirt-I-like-the-top-of-but-is-otherwise-ill-fitting-under-a-dress strategy again.

{brrrrr...}

dress: H&M, mustard collared tshirt: thrifted, cardigan & leggings: Target, belt: Charlotte Russe, earrings: The Electric Fetus, boots: Minnetonka, bag: Miche, sunglasses: thrifted, mittens: gift.

Frrrrriday

I like these rich, deep tones. They remind me of my family's living room decor circa 1996.

It's Friday everyone! Go celebrate! Run through a field! Sing songs! Dance! Laugh! It's only 2 days before we go back to being desk drones, so live it up!

Stolen Goods

Nothing I'm wearing is actually stolen. I don't think. Wait... No. Probably not. It's also not a dress. I know...psych out. The cardigan was a gift from my mother in law and the cowl, tights + headband are all gifts from my mom. What was stolen was the idea. I stole the color & wardrobe combo from another Sarah. Even though I think hers worked better, I'm happy with how this turned out. It was very warm and comfortable, and after all, isn't that the nature of the business casual beast? Is that the beast behind me there?

tunic: blah blah, skirt: Wet Seal (I think it's at least 7 years old), cardigan: gift, belt & boots: Target, tights: We Love Colors (gift), headband: Forever21 (gift), earrings: Charlotte Russe.

Lemon Lime Layers

I fancy myself a bit of a sprite. So today I decided to dress like one. Except it's a bit of a double entendre, as I costumed more like the lemon-lime carbonated beverage, Sprite, (dist. by Coca Cola), and less a woodland creature.

green dress (under layer), cardigan, leggings, & boots: Target, tunic (outer layer), earrings & belt: Charlotte Russe, cowl: knitted by my mom :)

Daisy Head Mazy

Does anyone remember the Dr. Seuess story of Daisy Head Mazy? I just thought of it because of my floral trifecta in most recent posts. Weird. Guess I'm cheery from all the radiant sunshine (still warm out!), which is just heavenly.

floral cardigan: Urban Outfitters, yellow tunic tank, brown cords & earrings: Charlotte Russe, scarf: H&M Milan, socks: Target, clogs: Sanita.

Royal Jelly

I just realized I have worn very royal colors in all my posts this week. Navy blue, plum and now this royal blue. I like jewel tones and neutrals, equal parts mixed. It appeals to me. Sometimes I like to rock it up at work on Fridays. Like I could go straight from work to a bar/party/concert. It puts me in a good mood. Happy weekend-ing all...

cardigan: Merona, tiered tunic: Belle du Jour, leggings, scarf & boots: Target, shell earrings: handmade by Adeline.
