Day at the office

Today was my normal Wednesday at the office so I went in a skirt, as I typically do.  I also need something comfortable. I am seeing clients off and on, but I also spend alot of time at the computer so I can't have anything binding or uncomfortable - really I NEVER want to wear anything like that, actually! ;)

I didn't have my incredible camera man today so you will have to look at the "self portraits" from the mirror - sorry!

 

Gray Cotton Maxi Skirt: from Target (see it worn in a previous blog)

Sweater: Old Navy (find here) - I bought mine in "Airwalker"

Infinity Scarf: Express (find it here) - I bought mine in "Gray Leopard"

 

Watch: Kenneth Cole (find similar here)

Bracelet: this is actually my dad's necklace wrapped around my wrist three times and fastened. He passed away almost 3 months ago and this was the necklace that he wore all the time.  I wanted to find a way to wear it or possibly have it melted down and turned into another piece of jewelry that I thought I would wear. I tried this yesterday and I LOVE it!  I like this above wearing it as a necklace so much more, as well,  because when it is on my wrist I can actually see it. It is a constant reminder of him for me - good memories because when I saw this necklace on his neck then I also saw his smile just above it :)

Who doesn't enjoy a little green???

I really love green and I couldn't pass up this super yummy and happy mint scarf that I ran across a few weeks ago.  Finally got a chance to wear it today and it didn't dissapoint. I paired it with one of my favorite fall staples - Zara riding boots - and an ultra comfy and fun skirt topped off with my "deal of the century" MK blazer (picked this up for only $25 when I was out of town this summer on a clearance rack - LAST ONE and in a size 4 - normally I would look for the 6 (I was nervous it wouldn't fit my ample chest, but it did - yay me!!!) the tag was $188!). 

I wore this skirt a bit this summer with a simple white v-neck tee. It is that perfect medium weight material that can easily float between seasons. It has a hidden side zip, but feels and fits more like a pull on styled skirt (which I tend to like better for comfort reasons).

Blazer: Michael Kors (similar here)

Sweater: Old Navy (see it worn here in a previous entry and purchase here)

Scarf: Merona from Target

Skirt: Sandro Studio (Net-A-Porter- similar here and here)

Tights: Hue from Macy's

Riding Boots: Zara (find them here)

This is my hair on day 2 (no washing, no curling). I got up, worked my dry shampoo into my roots and then ran paddle brush through my hair...this was the result (at the end of the day -pics taken after I got home from the office around 5pm). The curl definitely relaxes a bunch from the day before, but it still works for me.

I am telling you that this dry shampoo trend has changed my beauty routine and saved me at least an hour every day! That is an hour I needed desperatly :)

I will wash and dry it tonight so that I can curl it in the morning and head out the door....not to mess with it again for at least 2 more days - yay!!

Anyway - I am really telling you all of this becuase I am hoping that it will help another girl out there today!  I wish someone had told me sooner - it would have changed my life for the better, sooner :)

(My dry shampoo of choice: Bastiste - buy here....for only $8 what do you have to lose?!)

Another famously "easy" and "effortless" outfit. If you have learned anything from reading my blogs it should be that I crave (require actually!) "easy"!  Of course I still want to feel and look stylish. 

Hope you all enjoyed this 7th day of November! See you tomorrow.
