Back to School

I'm 33, but sometimes I forget how old I am, and I dress like I'm still in college.  Like today, I put on this very comfortable outfit, and it reminds me of my college days.  Sometimes you just gotta live a little younger!

Basics with Leopard

Today's outfit is very simple, pretty much a basic sweater and faux letter skirt as an usual outfit most would wear to the office.  I added some Leopard prints to touch up the look.  I love Leopard prints, but there is a fine line when it's too much or not enough pop.  I thought this is good amount, just so the outfit is not as boring.  To my surprise, many people complimented on my outfit, except one friend who patted my stomach signaling it's too big..lol..

{ Laced }

I am a girly girl, so when lace came back in style, I was excited! I know, like everything else, it won't be in style for long, so I tried to look for an inexpensive piece. I found this blue lace dress at Zara for $59. It's not the most perfect dress, but it's good for the price. I paired it with this J-Crew inspired bib necklace, which I found on eBay for $10, and a light gold bag. I actually received a lot of compliments from coworkers on this combo.

{ At The Office } mini series - episode 6

I don't ever want to be labeled as the girl in pink, as the color is so quintessentially for girls. Therefore, I have very little pink in my closet. I have items that are patterned or used for layering, but I don't own any statement pink pieces. I even try my best not to dress my daughter in pink, although it's almost impossible for little girls. For some reason, when I saw this hot pink skirt, I loved it. It's wool, it's simple, it's got pockets... it's very me. I even paired it with the only light pink top I have.
