Denim

Sweet n' Low Lucky Jeans and the shirt is from Express. The jacket is from Old Navy and has a cool design on the left shoulder blade. I wear this jacket much more often than the regular denim jacket I have.

I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow morning because I can tell my clothes are fitting better so I suspect I've lost weight and I know I've lost inches. I'm not exactly dieting at the moment but I drink tons of watter, walk every day, and use our elliptical machine ever other night. I'm not only looking and feeling better, I'm sleeping better yay.

More Green

What can I say? I like green.

The pants are from Express. The shirt however is new and I think I got it from Delias but it was a couple years back and I'm not certain. The tank I have on underneath is from Target.

Happy Wednesday To You

See I told you it would fade. I'm about 2 shampoo's from Strawberry. Oh well. I'm gonna re die it Saturday or maybe Sunday & then maybe I'll let it return to natural.

The pants are Editor from Express, the sweater is from Old Navy and I haven't worn it since I started the site, the blazer is from Delias and I can't remember if I've worn it recently, and my shoes are the black green and grey ones from Newport News.

Two, Two, Two Pics In One

Hmmm neither of these are particularly great pictures so I'm including both. Hey maybe you'll enjoy sneering at me who am I to take away that opportunity.

Everything I'm wearing comes from Express and none of it is new although with my new hair color I don't look nearly as washed out.

So yesterday the underwire poked out of my bra. I guess it's time I need to buy some new bra's and under ware and that just sucks because they are not cheap. Oh well. I won't be showing you the new stuff. I love you guys but not that way.

As I mentioned on my other site I found out yesterday that I need glasses so we went to Costco at lunch time to fill my prescription and I'm really excited about the frames I picked. I think their kinda sexy but that's me. And guess what, their purple. I know you're picturing something horrible and you'll just have to wait the two weeks until their ready to see how awesome they are. I am considering getting a second pair though as backup. Hmmm the shopping possibilities.

I Did It!

Told ya I wanted to die my hair. It was darker yesterday before I washed it. I suspect it's going to be just like when I died it brown a few months back & I'll be back to blond in a couple weeks. I like it though so maybe I'll try to keep it up for a while. I already bought another box so I may be able to get enough color saturation.

The dress is new. It's from Newport News & I ordered it months ago but it finally came a little over a week ago. I had to buy pantyhose before I could wear it. My legs are not looking good enough to go bare. These are my same tri color shoes also from Newport News. It's cold today so I have my leopard print jacket today but I didn't want to cover the dress in the picture. I hope you appreciate it brrrrr.

Pre Baby Jeans!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I forgot to mention last Friday that I can finally get in to ALL my pre baby jeans not just the pair that were a size to big. So these and the ones I wore last Friday are the last hurdle yay!

These jeans are also Lucky brand jeans and are called Sundowner. I prefer the Sweet n' Low ones but I couldn't find my other pair. Isn't that weird? Did I take my pants off somewhere and forget to take them with me when I left? That seems unlikely.

The sweater I've shown before and is from Express so is the tank which I haven't worn since I started this site.

I was asked about the weight loss and what I was doing so here's the answer. I did slim fast for a couple weeks and it worked but it's hard to do for very long. I just get so sick of the taste of those shakes. So now I've just been trying to eat healthy and cut out the junk I know I shouldn't be eating. I drink a ton of watter every day usually at least 96oz which equals about 12 glasses. I've also started taking a walk every day with my friend Jubiss it's a little thing but it helps. I've been trying to work out at home on the evenings that it's Dave's turn to put Fiona to bed but I can't say it's really been regular, all the normal chores get in the way but still even if I only do it once a week that's better than nothing.

Oh I also bought a bottle of hair die and did the test sample so assuming I don't chicken out my hair may be auburn in the next pic. Stay tuned. Of coarse I've died it twice since I had Fiona and it washed out in about a month. My hair's so light to begin with it's hard to get it to take color.

Thursday 10-16-08

Believe it or not I was crazy busy yesterday so I didn't have time to get my photo uploaded. But here it it.

This sweater is the twin sister to the blue one I wore Tuesday. It and the pants are from Express the cami is from Old Navy.

It's Been One of THOSE Weeks

Dave was still in bed when I left for work Monday so I didn't get a picture and yesterday it was still dark when we left the house and we didn't have time latter. And that's to bad because I wore new items both days.

Luckily this blouse is new too. Not NEW new. My budget doesn't currently allow for clothes shopping. But new here. Everything is from Express. The pants are actually Navy which is why I picked a blue sweater.

I'm still toying with the idea of dying my hair. What I'd like to do is get highlights and low lights again but that's more expensive than a bottle of Clairol.

Classic casual

So just to mix it up on this windy Friday not a single thing I'm wearing today is from Express. What can I say they make things that last.

These are Sweet n' Low jeans from Lucky Jeans. I either got them at Macy's of the Lucky Jeans store. They're expensive but worth it. Actually if you have a hard time finding jeans that fit go to a Lucky Jeans store and tell one of the employees what it is you want in a pair of jeans and they'll find a pair that look good on you. For example I have a short torso so I like a mid rise and I prefer a boot cut #1 because it makes my legs look thinner and #2 because I like boots. Seriously if I had to pick only one item of clothing to buy for the rest of my life it would be boots. This fabulous shirt (that's not sarcasm. I really love this shirt) is from Target.

Told Ya I Was Gonna Start Wearing More Black

Originally I put on a different cami but it didn't look right so I changed. The whole ensemble is from Express and I was wearing my fabulous leopard jacket again since the weather is now starting to get cooler. I think if you click on the picture you can see my earrings which are one of the pairs I was complaining that I could not find. They are from Target & very heavy and I love the drama of them.

I'm off work Tomorrow and Thursday so I probably won't have any pictures of my outfits. I do however have some items I've been meaning to feature/review so be sure to check in. I will be posting around Fiona's nap schedule.

Elvis Would Totaly Wear This Jacket

It was a bit chilly today & I couldn't find my brown blazer. I think I may have gotten rid of it so I put on this one which I normally don't wear to work. It's more of a going out in jeans and stilettos type of thing.

The blazer is from Macy's as is the blouse and the pants are from Express.

I was very productive this weekend and did all my dry cleaning and ironing so I've got lots of things to wear (for now).

Possibly the Last Skirt I'll Wear For a Whille

It's starting to get colder and according to the weather report it's supposed to start raining tomorrow (which is good we're in a drought) so I'll be bundling up more. Sigh. I hate cold weather clothes, they are not flattering to my figure. I start looking all lumpy.

Well at least this is something new (to the site). I got this outfit, and yest the weird little shirt is supposed to go over the dress, at Mervyn's several years ago. I have a thing about not shopping at Mervyn's so you'll probably never see me in anything from there again.

The weather change is doing weird things to my coloring so I've been experimenting with my eye makeup and am not pleased with the results. Yesterday I looked like the undead, which would be fine if that was what I'd been trying to do.

Sigh again. Lumpy clothes and bad makeup, oh and don't forget how dry and dull my hair gets in fall. Is it time for Spring yet?

Common Courtesy

This is what I wore yesterday. The outfit looks oddly dowdy in this picture but in motion......well you can see the slit in the skirt. It goes quite high. It wasn't until about halfway through the day when I realized the combination of that skirt and fishnet tights was maybe less than work appropriate. Modesty at least in the physical sense is something I frequently forget to have. I'm generally comfortable with my body and don't really care if people look. There are however limits to what is acceptable even to me.

Example: There is one guy at my office who literally stares with his mouth hanging open every time I walk by. Now it's always nice to be admired but I do worry vaguely that he's going to drown himself in his own drool and then I'd feel guilty. Mostly I find it amusing but it really is a little rude. Also while admittedly the above outfit is somewhat provocative you've seen what I generally wear to work and it's not overtly sexy. Believe me when I'm trying to get a reaction you'll know.

Note: I took pity on the poor guy yesterday. Once I realized the non workness of the outfit I decided to avoid his gaze. The poor guy would probably have to go home to change pants.

Any way the skirt is from Victoria's Secret, The sweater from Express, the tank from Old Navy. You've seen em all before. I have several pairs of patterned tights and I'm not sure where I got this particular pair. It may have been from a company called foot traffic.

Something New!

I was going to wear a dress today but then we were running late so I just went with what was easy. But never fear I was thinking of you when I picked. It's funny how much thought I'm putting in to my outfits these days trying not to be too repetitive.

Alright the ever present Editor pants from Express. These ones are actually charcoal grey although I'm not sure that's clear in the picture. This is actually the second pair I've had this color I liked the other ones so much that when they finally fell apart (after several years) I went out & got a new pair. The sweater and tank are from (Drum roll. Ba da da da da da) Target. Funky hu? I've bought a few things at Target over the years that I loved. I've also bought things that just didn't last that long. It's kind of hit or miss. This sweater though I'm very fond of.

My necklace (which again I'm sure you can't see very well) is interesting. It's not a pearl as it appears to be. It's actually a tiny little carving of Ganesh. Who's Ganesh you ask, Ganesh is a deity (Hindu I think but I could easily be wrong). Ganesh is the remover of obstacles. My Mom gave me this charm years ago. I think she was hoping it would get Dave of his butt and down on one knee if you know what I'm saying. I seriously doubt it had anything to do with our nuptials but it's pretty and the though was sweet. I found this necklace while I was cleaning this weekend along with a bunch of other jewelry I'd forgotten about. Sadly I didn't find the 2 pairs of earrings I was specifically looking for but they must be around somewhere. One of the pairs is rather large so I know I didn't accidentally throw them out or anything.

Note: Ganesh is also the god that Apu worships on the Simpsons. And you thought they were just being silly.

My Inner Rockstar Making a Play for the Surface

I took Friday off to take Fiona to her checkup so I didn't get a photo. You can imagine jeans & a t-shirt though.

I cleaned our room this weekend and found this sweater which I'd forgotten I owned. It's from Express & I'm quite fond of it. The pants and tank are also from Express and you've seen em before. I did find a bunch of things I hadn't worn on a while though so I'm gonna try to mix it up more.

Okay check out my hair. You may think it looks stupid but I think it's cool. I achieve this effect by sleeping with it in several braids and then I finger comb it in the morning. My flair for drama has been seeping through recently so you may be seeing me trying a few more risky fashion ideas.

Ok Finaly Got Access to the Raw Pic from Yesterday

Man! Raw fiasco 2008 is finally under control. Hopefully not so many double posts from now on.

Today (above) I'm wearing pants from Victorias Secret, a shirt from Express, a blazer from Delias and these shoes.


Yesterday I wore a skirt and sweater both from Express and a tank from Old Navy and the fabu shoes I bought for cheap on Amazon.com.

Another Twofer

Allrighty Finally got em up yay!

In hind site I should have switched pants between these two outfits oh well.

Above is what I wore today. Nothing new sadly. I did have an outfit picked out but I couldn't find the skirt I wanted, then it turned out the sweater looked terrible with these pants, and then we were running late. Crap!

Below is what I wore yesterday. Editor pants (shocking I know) and a sweater set from the Victorias Secret catalogue.

At least my hair looks good in both picks. Ummm I should probably admit I'm a bit vain about my hair.

Two Days Worth

I didn't get around to posting yesterday mostly through laziness so today's a double dose.

Today I'm wearing the Old Navy Jeans and a sweater from Delias. This sweater is super soft & comfy & I wore it most of the time I was pregnant until I couldn't keep my belly from sticking out the bottom.

Yesterday brown editor pants from Express a blouse I bought on Amazon and also wore for quite a while when I was pregnant & my very most favorite sweatshirt from Lucky Jeans. I bought it in February when I was in Tahoe for my SIL's bachelorette party & I just didn't have enough warm clothes that fit. Keep in mind I'd just had a baby like 8 weeks before normally I would have packed more.

I Seem To Wear A Lot Of Blue

I think this sweater is new (to the site) and it's also from Express. I got it and a pink one just like it on sale a couple years ago. The tank and the pants I've shown before and are also from Express.

The weather is transitioning from Summer to Fall so that means it's cold in the mornings and hot in the afternoon so it's hard to figure out what to wear. Layering is your best defence. On the upside I'll be trotting out cold weather stuff I haven't worn here before soon. Downside winter clothes are bulky and unflattering oh well.

Summers Last Hurrah

Today's entire outfit it brought to you by Old Navy. Except the shoes which are Steve Madden are about 4 years old & believe it or not are very comfortable.

P.S. Fiona only woke up once last night so today I'm actually functioning.
