Pajama skirts

Jacket: NY & Co. (similar) / Tee: AE (similar) / Skirt: Old Navy / Cons: Thrifted / Glasses: Firmoo

Hi new followers from BSSS! Welcome :) I hope ya'll stick around!

Lets talk about this skirt for a minute. This very well could be the most comfortable and flattering skirt I own. I happened upon it in Old Navy a couple weeks ago, and I couldn't WAIT to wear it.

I recently read an article in Good Housekeeping (yes I get Good Housekeeping) about one woman's dirty little secret. She would *gasp* sleep in her clothes sometimes, and then get up and keep right on wearing them the next day! While I haven't done this since college, it did get me (and my extreme morning laziness) thinking. IF I was to ever do that, I would definitely do it in this skirt. It legitimately feels like pajamas. And there ain't nothin' wrong with that.

Have you ever slept in your clothes and woke up and kept right on wearing them the next day??

Lunch with the Governor

Dress: Kohl's / Belt: AE / Shoes: AE / Earrings: AE

I am beyond thrilled its Wednesday. This week has been tough and I'm looking forward to the weekend already.

Ok so I didnt exactly have lunch WITH the Governor, but she was there, so it counts! Yesterday I was invited to a TRIDEC luncheon as a guest of one of our board members. We recently built a website for a new book he authored and he invited us as a thank you. The food was only so-so, but the Governor was speaking on area issues and it was definitely interesting. I wore this outfit because I thought it mixed young and creative with professional fairly well. Looking at the photos now I think it may have been a tad short, but I felt good in it nonetheless.

Now I'm off to the gym for my regular lunch hour workout, and its much needed today!

Have a lovely day ya'll!

Mustard and Plums

Dress: Target / Cardi: Maurices (similar) / Scarf: Kohl's / Shoes: Target (similar)

It's been a minute since I've worn this dress. I wore it lots in the late spring/early summer, and now its been hanging in my closet since July, waiting for a fresh wear. I don't know that this outfit is mind blowing or anything, but I do know that I still love this dress and this off-kilter color, and I didn't know how much I'd love purple with it! Don't you love when you randomly come across new color combinations??

Linking up!

I am Batman?

Tee: Amazon / Jeans: Rock & Republic for Kohl's / Flats: Target / Glasses: Firmoo

I actually feel bad for Monday's a little bit. No one likes them, and its not really their fault. Or is it?

When I got to work today there was a cat sitting on our stoop. I think it was a sign that this day is going to get much better. I hope so anyway. I went out to see her and she was a very friendly babe. I thought about feeding her something as she seemed a little on the thin side, but I knew if I did that she'd never leave, and she was already following me around crying. I felt awful going back inside as she seemed to love the attention, but sadly, I had to get to work, and I knew B wouldn't let me bring home another cat.

Oh the woes of the crazy cat lady.

On an unrelated note, I really like Batman. And it was casual Friday. 'Nuff said.

3 out of 5

Tank: Old Navy (similar) / Jeans: Old Navy / Cardi: AE / Flats: Target

We've survived another week ya'll.

And I survived in another pair of colored pants. 3/5 days this week. Yup. I thought I had a problem a few days ago, and I KNOW I do now. But I couldn't ignore these beautiful mustard color pants. They are a perfect shade that makes them almost a neutral, no?

Lilly agrees. That's why she photobombed my picture.

I'm looking forward to a chill weekend of using my Kohl's coupons, wine tasting, kayaking and grilling out, hoping to extend summer just a tad (it's still pretty toasty here in the Tri-Cities). What are ya'lls plans??

Wishing you a beautiful and peaceful weekend!

It's OK...

Top: Old Navy / Jeans: AE / Wedges: Super old, Bongo... probably from Kohl's?

Normally I do a Thursday remix, but ya'll with my brother in town and and juggling entertaining, work, working out, etc. I'm sleeping very little and feel blessed to even have semi-blog worthy outfits to post. So for the next few weeks, the Thursday remix may or may not be happening, and in its place I'll do the lovely 'Its OK' post:

-It's OK to not have time to think about my clothes as much as normal, and miss my own self-imposed blog deadlines.

-It's OK to stay up with your brother (and amazing boyfriend) until 1am chatting and playing video games, even when you have to work the next day, because you live 2,000 miles apart and don't get to see each other as much as you used to.

-It's OK to go to the mall to return an item, and leave with 4 more. Oops.

-It's OK to be a little late to work ONCE IN AWHILE. Shiz happens!

-It's OK to be thinking about dying my hair again already.

-It's OK to do a little happy dance when you peel the sticker off the Kohl's coupon book and you got the 30% off-er!

-It's OK to quickmix your John Mayer, Enya and Harry Potter soundtrack Pandora stations and love every. single. song. that comes on.

That was fun kids. I may just do that again next week. Hope you all have a beautiful Thursday!

My name is Katie and I have a problem.

Tee: DMB merch / Jeans: AE / Shoes: Toms

Guys.

Guys. I have a problem. Srsly.

I can. not. stop. wearing my burgundy jeggings. I mean. I wore them today. And here. And here. And I may or may not have worn them in between and not posted.

And I've only had them for a month.

P.S. These glasses are fake. I wore them to feel more hipster. It was unsuccessful.
P.P.S. I haven't washed my hair since Saturday. Apparently, red hides greasiness. Another bonus for the red hair!

EBEW: Back to school

Cardi: Target (similar) / Tee: AE / Jeggings: Simply Vera Vera Wang via Kohl's / Shoes: Toms

I'm not really going back to school. In fact, I haven't been back to school in about 6 years. (Whoa.)

But if I was going back to school, this ensemble is definitely something I'd be wearing in that first week. Super comfy and casual and a little bit chic, it's perfect for checking out a new semesters classes and getting into a new routine... hitting the Starbucks on campus and sitting outside the AJ building people watching while eating my lunch... reading a book in the lawn for awhile and then casually strolling back to Beacon Hill for a cookout and a few beers with my roomies and neighbors...

Oh HEY back to reality. Just a little reminiscing on the 'ole Ball State days. Go Cardinals!

Happy Tuesday ya'll!
