It's been awhile since I threw on a skirt and left the house feeling extra girly. I think the amount of sweatshirts I've been wearing lately have really been impacting my attitude and making me a little bit lazy when it comes to getting ready each day. Last week I decided I'd had enough and finally put on a skirt and heels and got back to my girly self. I forgot how much fun it is to get dressed up and walk around with heels and a clutch. Plus, this faux leather skirt is a great way to dress up this simple (and super cute) t-shirt. 

I fell in love with this shirt a few weeks ago and decided that I HAD to have it when we went to down to San Fran. I knew that we wouldn't be getting much shopping in (too much focus on football and catching up with friends) so I ordered it online and had it shipped to my doorstep. Best. Decision. Ever. I forgot how much I love online shopping. This tee was on my front porch when we got back from our weekend getaway. Perfect. Maybe one day Reno will get a Zara and all my dreams will come true.

A Little Mustard, Please

This week seems to be full of colorful posts and I'm not hating it. Yesterday, red pants. Today, a yellow coat. I am loving these bright colors lately. I first saw this coat on Lacey last week and thought it would look fabulous in my closet. When I went to order it online, I was bummed to see that it was sold out in this mustard color. I gave up and decided I didn't need another coat in my life. Well, it must be fate because I was walking around Target on Saturday and there it was, hanging all alone, one left on the rack, in my size. I quickly tried it on and didn't second guess my decision for a moment. I ran to the register and immediately left the store with this mustard masterpiece.

I have been seeing colorful coats popping up here and there and knew that I needed one in my life-- I just had to find one that fit the bill. This one is perfect for satisfying my craving as it is bright, furry, has great toggle-fasteners. Oh, and I snagged it for only $35. I mean, if I decide I hate in a few months, no problem. It was a great buy and I am so excited to pair this with just about everything over the next few weeks while I am home for the holidays.

Yesterday was my birthday and I woke up feeling extra girly.  I knew that this busy shoe top was exactly what I needed to wear my feelings on my sleeve (see what i did there?). I mean, navy and yellow and shoes-- seems like the perfect shirt to me! It was a great piece to transition from day to night as well so I threw a pair of jeans in my purse and changed into them for a night out on the town, and checking out some fun Christmas lights, with some friends. I love pieces that can easily transition and this top did exactly that.

Leather Skirt At Work

After spending a week in Montana, followed up by a long weekend, waking up and heading into work yesterday was harder than expected. I woke up with little inspiration and no idea what to expect for my week. I knew it was going to be busy as we are prepping for another upcoming travel week, but I just felt rather blah when I woke up. It may have been the fog in the air or the lack of routine for the past week, but I knew that I wanted to be comfortable for a day back in the office.

I have been trying to wear this sweater for a few weeks now but it's been a little too warm each day I've pulled out. Today was just cool enough to throw it on with this faux leather skirt and be perfectly comfortable all day. While it was a busy, busy day, it was so nice to get back into a routine. Sadly I will only have three more days of this before I hit the road for another trip to the West Coast, but I am quite excited to be adding some personal time in there as well and visit all my friends and family back home.
