Thursday's in the office call for slightly more laid back looks and some comfort items.  Things are starting to get even more busy than normal due to our annual conference coming up - Hello Panama (the country) - along with the normal every day duties. So today's look consisted of:       My blazer is similar to the one pictured above and is also from Banana Republic Outlet, unfortunately it cannot be purchased anymore.  As I said, my items have been in my closet for a while and I find new ways to style and love them again.  Here is a similar shaped blazer from Old Navy. The chambray shirt is great for layering with a variety of shirts, pants, scarves, shoes, etc.  The chambray shirt above is from Old Navy .  A similar top but super cute with polka dots & here is a lighter colored version . The black pants are from Old Navy as well and are super comfortable.  I wear them to work with heels pretty often and have even worn the...

One of my favorite things is pockets on dresses.  I have several and love them!  It almost makes the dress feel a little more casual and comfy when added.  This morning my 3 year old daughter insisted that I wear a dress because she was :)  I love that she insist we match the type of clothing that we are wearing - she doesn't do it all the time so when she does it makes my heart happy. Since this dress is sleeveless and I'm in the office I added a black blazer and black pumps to complete the look.  I've had this dress in rotation since before I had children and it has always been a favorite.  I love the neutral colors with the pop of bright pink. Dress: Old    Blazer: Old ( Similar )   Shoes Other Options:   Pockets and Sleeves Beautiful Fit & Flare Sleeveless & Textured Sleeves Less With Exposed Zipper I realize that all of the above dress are from JCPenney but that is where I got my dress and they have a ...

This summer I started a new job that came with increased salary, level of authority, responsibility and of course, and increase in salary.  Oh, happy day!!  I have grown a lot since being in the new role and learn something new everyday - especially since I knew practically nothing about international logistics & transportation. So, while out at the mall on some random weekend before I started by new job, my husband saw a dress that he thought I would like and would be a great addition to my wardrobe.  I love dresses but I don't have a lot that aren't summer dressy and office appropriate. Macy's: Bar III - Old (Similar) The back of the dress is beautiful with the gold zipper down the back.  It fits great and even though it's more than I would normally spend on a dress, I was able to pick it up for $60 - originally around $80.   Again, had my husband not hand picked it I would have regretted not buying it because it has become a favorite of min...

Oh how I love casual Fridays at work.  Wearing jeans and being able to feel a little more comfortable than in my normal work attire - although that is changing :)                 Target: Scarf ( Similar ), Tommy Hilfiger Outlet: Sweater - Old ( Similar ), JCPenney: Jeans , Shoes - Old ( Similar )   One of my favorite stores to shop at is JCPenney.  You will see entire outfits - top to bottom - and everything is from JCPenney.  I grew up shopping there and am always surprised by the items that I can find at great price points.   With that said, I also shop at other store but being a mother of 3 young children, I am very careful about how much I spend and how often I spend it. The jeans I am wearing in the picture are going on two years old but still look, feel and fit great!   And you can see that they didn't cost me an arm and a leg. The navy sweater is from the Tommy Hilfiger Outlet store in B...

So I have a plaid scarf that I received a few years back as a Christmas present from a friend.  I really love it but don't wear it much because I'm hesitant to pattern mix - crazy, right?!  Well, I wore it and pattern mixed with a lovely red, black and white sweater over a chambray shirt!
