Back to the 30 for 30...

The other day I wore a J. Crew ruffled blouse with a J. Crew pleated skirt with my Cole Haan heels and J. Crew pearls.  For work I added a Banana Republic blazer.  We have had over 100 degree highs every day here for the last week or so.  Silk was ideal for such heat!

 I wore my J. Crew chambray dress with new accessories.  I wore grey pearls from Premier Jewelry and Nine West polka dotted wedges.  For work I added a Jones NY tweed jacket.

Back to the 30 for 30

Today I was back to the 30 for 30 hosted by Kendi Everyday.  Today I wore my Apostrophe dress from the Pretty Penny blog shop.  This time I wore it with a white belt actually from an the navy Antonio Melani blazer that I paired it with.  I wore my pink Nine West pumps.

Mixing it up

On day 13 of the 30 for 30 Re-mix I wore the patterned tweed Jones NY dress with a green and ivory tweed blazer.  I kept the accessories to a minimum because I felt the look was pretty busy as it was.

On day 13 I wore my Spencer Jeremy suit in full for the first time in the 30 for 30 Re-Mix.  I really love this tie-blouse.  I had never actually worn it before I chose it for the re-mix.  For shame!  The details on the sleeve add fun detail.  This time I wore brown Nine West pumps rather than pink ones.

Lately

Shea has officially made it to the continent!  Shea's sister is getting married this Saturday, so I am not sure how much she will be posting (if at all).  I promise lovely photos of our time together in Vegas though ;). Now there are only three days until hubbs and I take off for the Grand Canyon and Vegas!!!

For Day 10 of the 30 for 30 Remix hosted by Kendi Everyday I wore my chambray J. Crew dress with a silk polka dotted blazer by Spencer Jeremy from Macy's with my pink Nine West pumps.  For accessories I went pretty simple with pearl studs and J. Crew pearl necklaces. I decided to give the loose dress a more fitted feel with a clasp belt from Chico's.

For Day 11 I wore my Apostrophe dress purchased from the shop on A Pretty Penny blog.  This time I paired it with a brown Banana Republic blazer, pearl necklace, and Chico's clasp belt with the pink Nine West pumps.  I was not sure how often I would wear these pink pumps when I purchased them, but obviously they are getting quite a bit of use!

On Day 12 I wore a black ruffled silk cami by J. Crew with a white Apostrophe blazer and silk patterned skirt by J. Crew.  I thought the brown in the skirt let me get away with my brown and black Cole Haan strappy shoes.  I am really loving these.  I also have not often worn necklaces with the silk ruffled camis that I purchased from J. Crew.  I think I might start wearing a short string of pearls with them though, I think that added more depth to the look.

Dresses and blazers oh my!

For Day 8 of the 30 for 30 challenge I wore a black and creme Jones NY Tweed Dress with some fun brown embellishment.  For work I added a black Banana Republic blazer.  I wore black drop earrings and my Michael Kors watch for accessories.  I thought my Cole Haan shoes were a great choice for this dress given the black and creme details on them.

For Day 9 I wore a white Antonio Melani sun dress.  I love the memories of wearing this dress to our rehearsal dinner the night before I married my love :o).  Also this dress has handy helping devices.  In the shoulder straps there is some string with a snap at the end so that you can keep the straps for your over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder in place.  For work I added the navy with white detail Antonio Melani blazer and yellow wedge sandals.  For accessories I wore my J. Crew necklaces with gold and pearl details.

Apparently all I wear are dresses and blazers most of the time!  I do love dresses :-).

Awkward & Awesome Thursday + 30 for 30 pieces

Sydnei from The Daybook hosts Awkward & Awesome Thursdays.

Awkward

1) The fact that I am JUST NOW posting pics of the 30 pieces/pairs of shoes that I am using for the 30 for 30 challenge.

2) Squinty eyes.  They are fine when I'm inside...they're a bit small, but they work.  However, when it is a sunny day and I am trying to take pictures I always end up looking like some sort of rodent who lives in the dark!  I must work on my Tyra Banks WIDE EYED look!
3) That I can't count! I have never been a numbers person.  Somehow I ended up with only 26 pieces below.  I guess I now can add in a few more shoe options!  Yay shoes!

Awesome

1) Lovely summer days.  Yesterday it was a fabulous 65 degrees and sunny as I did my morning run.  It was perfect.

2)  Running is getting easier.  As noted above, I enjoyed my run the other day.
3) Only NINE DAYS and 17 hours before I make it to Vegas and get to see Shea Babe!!!

30 for 30 Pieces

Sunny Days

For day 5 of the 30 for 30 remix (inspired and directed by Kendi Everyday) I wore my green tweed Jones NY blazer with the skirt of my brown Banana Republic suit.  I wore my ruffled silk yellow J. Crew tank underneath.  I wore my new Cole Haan shoes I purchased on ebay for the first time!  I love them.

For day 6 I wore another dress purchased from The Pretty Penny blog's online shop.  I also wore a new belt that is from Chicos.  I love the gold claw clasps.  I also wore my pink Nine West pumps and my Apostrophe white blazer.  I had fun taking my pictures by a new art installation in Old Town.

On day 7 I had a Continuing Legal Education event so I had to put on my lawyer costume.  I wore my brown Banana Republic suit with my pink leopard print silk tank from The Limited.  For accessories I wore my Premier pearls with the blingy brooch and real fresh water pearl bracelets.  It was SOO sunny behind my favorite BBQ joint where I decided to try and take pics.  I could hardly open my eyes...hence the groundhog like looks in my pics.
