Mondays are for Stripes

Dress: Sonoma for Kohl's (similar) / Sweater: Gap (similar) / Boots: Blowfish  / Belt: Maurices (similar)

First of all, a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the wonderful man that loves me just as much as I love him. He's the reason I get up every morning and I'm so blessed to have such an amazing person in my life. Love you babe! Happy 34th! :)

Second of all, I've hit my first bump in the road on linking to similar outfits here! The dress I'm wearing today is brand new from Kohl's but I cant find it anywhere on the internet... the sweater is probably 5 years old and I cant find any good comparisons... my boots are new too but I got them on clearance and you cant find them on Blowfish's site any more, and my belt isnt sold at Maurices any more! Weird!
But regardless, its 60 and sunny in the Tri-Cities today and this is a perfect, easy wear Monday outfit. :)

Now time to go celebrate with my babe!

Nautical Inspired Wednesday

Sweater: Abercrombie (similar) / Top: Old Navy (similar) / Jeans: Rock & Republic for Kohl's / Belt: Gap / Shoes: Michael Kors

The first full day back to work after being sick for a few days is always a drag. You have so much catch up to do and, if your like me, you may still be in a medicinal haze. I'm blessed to work in an environment that doesn't require 'corporate' or even 'business casual' attire - its more of a 'almost anything goes, but try to look nice and professional if you have a meeting with a client' kind of requirement. Luckily, today was not a client meeting kind of day. I may not have been feeling 100% yet, but I was trying darn hard to look it!
PS. These shoes are pretty much my favorite and you are bound to see a lot of them in this blog!!
