On a Monday

June 7, 2011





{Black Maxi Skirt ~ Forever 21 + / Black and White Striped Oxford with Gold Buttons ~ Ann Taylor / Black and Gold Flats ~ Tory Burch / Black and Gold Watch ~ Kathy Van Zeeland / Black and Gold LOVE Necklace ~ Thrifted}

Being honest, I wasn't a huge fan of this outfit today.  But I decided to take pictures and post anyway. 

I want to showcase my honest style on this blog, the good and the not-so-good. That means posting pictures of outfits that I love {when I am dolled all the way up} ...and then an outfit on a Monday when I wake up and have NO clue what I will put on.  On top of running late, heading to work. 

...Exhausted from a busy Sunday and my hair needing to be done.  Like today.

And since I am being honest, I did NOT want to wear this skirt.  I don't think it's really appropriate for the office, honestly, but skirts and dresses are my friends on these days.  This was so easy to just pull on, I really couldn't stop myself.  And the shirt was a no-brainer; I grabbed the first thing that didn't need ironing, lol!

Everyday can't be all glitz and glam.  And I am ok with that. :)


xoxo, thanks for reading! 

I am off to finish my hair... fresh 'do for this HOT week, coming right up!

  4. Can definitely appreciate posting your fashion in it's most raw form: truth. Besides, I need to know how you "throw" things together on your late days so I can have an idea of what I can throw together on my late days! ;)

  7. We same to have the same dilema for making outfits office appropriate. Maxi dresses are hard to pull off for work, but I think with your button down top you did it great!

  8. Truth is beauty, and you do both well. Each piece on it's own is cute so a re-mix will show their beauty.

  11. I really like this outfit. I actually have the same maxi skirt and I do wear them to work. I may not wear a maxi dress, but the skirt works for my office.

    You look amazing girl!
