I love the flexibility of this skirt!  The first time I'd posted an outfit with it, 

I went for a much more casual look using a bold, neon t-shirt (you can check out the post here). But today, I simply changed the top to a button-up and added a little sparkle in my accessories to make the skirt totally work appropriate. I really get the most use out of my wardrobe in that way. I've never been the type of person to distinguish my 'work clothes' from my 'play clothes' - with a few exceptions of course!  I love mixing and matching my wardrobe - which is something I've been working extra hard at lately as I've been trying to keep a close eye on our budget.  You'll hear more about it in a few weeks, but we have some pretty exciting things we're currently working on that have made us pinch our pennies for the time being.  I can't wait to tell you all about it!

 Oh how I love NYC! 

This past weekend was sort of a blur as a few of my besties

and I made the quickest little weekend trip to the city.  None of them

had been there before so I got to play tour guide with my tiny bit of 

experience.  Needless to say, they're all in love with the city

now!  I'm already looking forward to planning my next trip 

there - hopefully with my hubby in tow!

Friday's Fancies: Dress Yourself

Dress // Coat // Polish // Clutch // Shoes // Earrings

This week's theme for Friday's Fancies is to 
dress yourself!  I easily picked pieces that screamed "Jordan!!" 
as soon as I saw them!  How perfect is this floral dress?!  The cut 
and colors are just everything I love!  I don't often see a great floral
print used in fall but the color palette of blues and tans are really
great to transition through multiple seasons.  Just make sure
you have some great layering pieces like this jacket or 
pop on a pair of tights for extra leg warmth! 

If you haven't yet, be sure to register for
the fabulous Hollywood Fashion Secrets giveaway that I'm 
hosting!  It's my very first giveaway and I'm so excited to pack 
the prize up and send it on it's way to YOU!  ;)

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!!

I had such a great birthday yesterday!! 

My coworkers spoiled me with presents, lunch, dessert and even a few 

impromptu dance parties to Stevie Wonder's version of the "Happy Birthday"

song!!  And then I had dinner with a mixture of my best friends and coworkers

(who are clearly my best friends too!) at my favorite restaurant - Chuy's!  The 

outfit featured here is what I wore for work.  I'm completely obsessed with this 

J.Crew sweater that my sweet hubby got me!!  Bows are the best!

If you missed my post yesterday - be sure to head over here

and check it out!!  I'm doing my very first giveaway as a little birthday treat

to all my fabulous readers!! xo
