Office Comforts

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 them on cool evening with cute white te

Pockets on Dresses

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 great collection of dress for any and

Favorite Dress

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 mine.  I

Casual Friday

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 Branson, MO.  The hubby and I picked it up long before we were mar

Plaid Scarves!

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!
