Skirts

I love a long-ish flowy skirt.  I love tulle skirts.  But I find that a tulle skirt is not great for random, every day office wear.  It's for pictures, and special occasions.  So, I have come to embrace the pleated skirt with shimmer!

A couple of really cute options from Old Navy:
Cute for spring & summer

Old: Similar above


Over the Thanksgiving break while visiting family I picked up this great pleated skirt.  Of course it is from JCPenney.  The brand is mng by Mango.  It has become a brand that I really love and look forward to seeing their new pieces every season.

Business Trip

So, I have a business trip coming up in exactly one month.   I will be spending almost a week in beautiful Panama for the conference. Even though I won't have any free time to explore, shop or lounge on the beach I would still like for my look to breath in the tropical atmosphere while looking business professional and flawlessly put together.  Below are some of my favorite looks.  The prices for some of the items are much higher than I would be comfortable spending but believe they would get a lot of use in my work wardrobe. 1. STUDIO Tahari-Levine Co. ,  2. Gloria Vanderbilt ,  3. Fast & Effective ,  4. Public Image ,  5. The White House ,  6. For the People For a portion of the conference I will be on stage as the moderator and feel that it is very important to look my absolute best.  At that point in time I am representing the company I work for in front of about 200 people. What are your travel trips when you h...

Finished Chalkboard

So I am delayed in getting this posted but the chalkboard was a huge success and the kids were thrilled!  They have played on it a lot and have even invited their friends over to color on the chalkboard with them. So after I applied the layers of chalkboard paint and let them dry, I took a piece of chalk and laid it on its side and "colored" the chalkboard with it.  You are doing this according to the directions to help prime the surface for use. After you color it and let it chill, you then take a damp rag and wipe it off.  Sounds easy enough, right?  Well, it is!  I was nervous about  it not working because I may have some how missed a step along the way...I even googled the directions just in case!! I also added a really cute and perfectly, imperfect burlap boarder to the chalkboard.  I had initially planned out creating a wood boarder for it and painting it to match the colors from the playroom pillows but ultimately decided against it...

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 B...
