Last day!

06.11.10top: Jovovich-Hawk for Target
pants: J. Crew
shoes: Via Spiga
earrings: James Avery
necklace: Tiffany's
belt: Banana

I didn't think I could do it, but I did. Only 5 items of clothing in 5 days. I guess this means I really shouldn't be doing any more shopping!

Day 4

06.10.10top: J. Crew
skirt: Old Navy
shoes: Nine West
necklace: Martin+Osa
tights: Hue

I am glad most of the clothes I picked for this challenge are machine washable...so even though they are being repeated, at least they are clean!

So, here comes my confession...

new bag!a new bag!

new bag!Isn't she a beauty?

new bag!I admit, I am a sucker for a fabulous designer bag. I don't mind shopping at Target and Old Navy for my clothes, but a nice bag goes a long way. This bag is made even nicer by 1) being on sale (yes, Gucci has an annual sale in June!) and 2) being friends withe the GM of our Gucci store here in H-town! So this beauty is in my grabby hands for 65% off original retail. Granted, she's still not cheap, but I will love her forever!

Day three

06.09.10top+pants: J. Crew
shoes: Talbot's
earrings: gift'd
belt: Martin+Osa

Random thoughts for today:
1. I'm am kind of liking the limited wardrobe choices...makes getting dressed in the morning a snap!
2. Full caffeine coffee is a much better eye opener.
3. It feels like a sauna outside.
4. I have a confession to make...later...

Can't wake up

I am feeling extra sleepy this morning...don't know if it's because we woke up super early or I drank more decaf than regular coffee...probably a combination of both!

06.08.10top: Target
skirt: Old Navy
shoes: Ann Klein
necklace: Tiffany's
belt: Ann Taylor
tights: Hue

I'm hoping today won't be too crazy at work but since we had a long weekend I have a feeling it's going to be busy.

2 for 1

In an effort to maximize my wardrobe and minimize my need to shop, I am participating in not 1 but TWO different wardrobe challenges this week!

The first is the Summer Black-Out, hosted by Sal. The challenge is no black clothes from Monday June 7 to Monday June 14. This is actually pretty straight-forward, since summer months typically mean, for me at least, brighter colors in my clothes.

The second is the Summer Capsule Wardrobe, hosted by Jane. I just realized this challenge started on Friday June 4th, so I am behind - oops! Her challenge is a bit more difficult: 5 items of clothing for one week (or in my case, 5 day: from Monday June 7 to Friday June 11) with unlimited accessories and shoes. {ETA: I am not crazy after all; the challenge is really only 5 day 6/7-6/11, so I am right on track!}

2010 06 07 photoI am taking the easy route with this second challenge: I have chosen 3 tops (grey ruffle tank, cream colored blouse and peachy-pink top) and 2 bottoms (brownish pants and brown skirt). All these items have been previously worn. Hopefully my peeps at work won't notice I am wearing the same things this week!

06.07.10top and pants: J. Crew
shoes: Life Stride
shades: Tom Ford

Since I am off today, you can bet I will be wearing this outfit again during the week to work, only with dressier shoes.

Some more snaps

My good friend C is in town this weekend for some of her best friend's pre-wedding parties. Yesterday we all met up at Benjy's on Washington for brunch!

earrings: old
bracelets: Alexis Bittar, gift'd&remix'd

In keeping up with my sundress Sunday for the summer, I wore a new-ish dress that I adore. I am trying to find different ways to style it, some any suggestions would be welcome.

brunchWe sat at a great table in the front middle of the restaurant.

beef udonI ordered the beef udon, which was delicious! Unfortunately I ate too much, got tired and stopped taking any more photos the rest of the day ;)!

We ended up going to a pool party for a bit, then Joe and I came home. I was still pretty tired from the night before so we called it an early night. But I will admit, for a working weekend the past 2 days weren't so bad!
