As we near the end of the year, I am still counting my blessings and trying to remember to appreciate all the good things in my life (and not worry about the things that aren't perfect).


On days when thinking about what to wear to work it too hard, a good LBD always works in a pinch. This one is perfect for both warm and cool days.

Finally Friday

I am traveling to Dallas this evening to work there on Saturday. Kind of a pain, but one benefit is to have a date with a dear girlfriend while I am there.


This photo has made me realized I need to break out of the matchy-matchy rut with this sweater and pair it with different colors. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hope your weekend is less work-filled than mine!

Not so serious

You would think that after taking near daily outfit photos I would be more comfortable in front of the camera. And I am, to an extent. Sometimes I just feel a bit narcissistic so I just try to get it over quickly with my few go-to poses.


But I also like to remind myself not to take it all so seriously.

I cheated a bit

I had every intention of wearing these heels yesterday until my feet got too tired, but when I started walking into work, my heels kept slipping out. I knew this would annoy me all day, so I immediately changed into my flats and bought some insoles for the pumps for their next wearing. Heels, however, photograph so much better than flats, in my opinion, that I had to keep these photos.


I imagine wearing this dress long after I have replaced the rest of my wardrobe. As long as I keep up with yoga I figure my arms will be in good enough shape to wear it for at least another 30 years!

We return to our regularly scheduled programming

Now that I have finished up taking my Week in the Life photos, I need to create an album for them. Stay tuned to see the finished product (hopefully in the next couple weeks!).

I always feel very Audrey Hepburn-esque in this dress. Simple and elegant, kind of like me {or what I pretend to be ;)}. My hair is driving me insane and I am finally going in for a haircut today, after chopping it all off 6 months ago. Wish me luck!

I am happy to have the weekend off. Although I guess I shouldn't complain too much since I only worked from Wednesday to Friday this past week!


I always tend to wake up earlier on days I don't have to work - want to eke as much possible out the day, I suppose. Here's to getting everything you want out of your weekend!

I have decided that Thursdays will be designated to wearing heels. I used to wear them all the time, but since becoming more serious about my yoga practice, I found that they tighten up my hamstrings and make certain poses more difficult. Since I don't have practice until Friday evening, I figured one day won't hurt. I was smart, however, and brought a back-up pair of flats with me to work, which I changed into after lunch. Anyone who says heels are more comfy than flats is lying (I know, I used to feel that way!).


This dress has gotten a lot of use for work, but I find I don't wear it in my "normal life" because I feel it's a bit too conservative. Any suggestions on how to "hip" it up would be welcome.

Last day of dress up

We got some major rain the last couple nights. Woke me up in the middle of the night! But with the rain comes the cooler weather, which I am all about!

We are going on vacation tomorrow with some friends to celebrate a 40th birthday. I am so ready to get outta here! Got lots to do between now and then, so posting as well as bloggy reading with be sparse until next week. Have a great week!

Thanks

Your kind words have meant a lot. Things will get better...eventually.


A blurry but cute photo - my little nephew is the light of my life!

Shorter days

...are the only evidence of the change of seasons here in Houston (thus, making snapping remix photos that much more difficult!)

I am finally wearing my new shoes from Monday. I have this thing about new items...I am loathe to wear them because they are so new and shiny. That's why the usually sit in my closet before their big debut. Is that weird?


As you might have guessed, this top is a favorite of mine. Light and comfortable? Check! Ruffles? Check! Pink? Double check!

Today is another working weekend for me...boo! Hope yours is a better one!

You got it!

I got my haircut on Saturday. Normally I would have taken tons of new selfies right after the deed, but we had friends in town for the holiday so no time for that!

I'm still not feeling quite myself between allegies, allergy medications, cramps, you name it, just not good. Taking it day by day.

11 and one lovely blog

Keeping it simple today with one of my favorite tops ever. Photoshop was giving me trouble so I was unable to label the photo; may try again later tonight. {ETA: PS working again!}

The sweet Megan at Daily Waifu Snapshot gave me this lovely blog award and I am to post 7 random things about myself. Here goes:

1) I am an early bird as is the hubs - we were up before 5 AM and at the park doing our early morning run today!

2) We have started playing Scrabble after dinner as a way to connect and use our brain power.

3) I have taken a photo every day since Feb 2008. I love using it as a documetation of my daily life. Not sure how long I will continue...a photo a day for the rest of my life? Sounds like a lot of space on my hard drive!

4) I adore my baby nephew - he is the light of my life!And I think the cutest baby ever!

5) I really want to move into a bigger house with a pool. Hopefully someday soon...

6) I'm not sure how my blog morphed into a "fashion-y" blog but it did. I have enjoyed "meeting" cool girls because of it!

7) Pink is my favorite color :)

Have a pink day!

I have 8 hours of work before heading off for another trip, which will be a bit more somber as we will be attending a Memorial Service for the hubs' grampa. He passed in April but wanted to be buried at the Veteran's Cemetary in Maine, where he is from. The hubs is already there helping his parents prepare. Grampa lived a long and fruitful life, which is what we will be remembering on Thursday.

So ready

I finally finished packing this morning. Just got to make through most of the day now...

Really too humid

...to blow dry my hair.
...to wear anything but a dress.
...to take more than a couple remix photos before calling it a day (which explains the closed eyes!)

I had been sweating so much after our run this morning that my fingers were wrinkled! This humidity is really really gross.

Dresses are the best - just throw on, add a few accessories and you are good to go! I also really love these shoes, but they are on their last leg. Who knew red pumps could be so versatile?

Pretty in pink

If you know me (or even if you don't), you know that pink is my favorite color. The brighter the better, although I like all shades.I thought this outfit was made a bit more interesting by adding the pink peeptoes! Again, those were scored at the Talbot's outlet for $13. {My hair is looking kind of funky in this photo, but I promised it's been washed and styled!}Look how big the little peanut is getting! He can almost sit up by himself, and he is definitely smiling more. 5 months certainly have whizzed by!

TGIF!

I am wearing a simple outfit today because of the dreary weather. And it's Friday, which typically means being busier at work so I want to be comfy. I love this necklace - I bought it years ago from a friend of a friend who made it by hand.

We are going on a quick road trip over the weekend to Lake Livingston, where a friend has a house. I am hoping the weather with clear up by tomorrow! And on Sunday, Cynthia Vincent hits Target! Be back later :)

LBD

I bought this dress at Saks Off Fifth awhile back. It is Calvin Klein, fits perfectly (well except the belt which works better at my hips than at my waist) and was only $40. I didn't know when or where I would wear it at the time, but now that I am wearing work clothes to work, I should be able to get my money's worth out of it!

I am wearing another pair of Hue Microfishnets. I adore these - they are sheer enough to wear for warm weather but give me enough coverage for work! I bought them in both nude and black and have a feeling I will be wearing them quite a bit this spring and summer. Thanks again Sal!
