Work Outfit of the Day

This is what I wore today to work (along with a doggie booty) and then a quick dinner out with my family. If you have really good eyes, you may notice greasy stains on my top resulting from some snuggles from my son after he ate his entire meal using his hands.

Cardigan- J. Crew (old- maybe 2005?)

Shell- J. Crew last year

Pants- Express (yikes- these are from 2005 also)

Belt- Macy's

Shoes- Enzo Angiolini (wow- about 2005 too)

Earrings - gift from my Bro-in-law

I have a couple reasons for starting this blog. One, I love reading other style blogs. I came upon one while searching for a sweater at Anthropologie that sold out. Then I started doing searches for clothes I considered buying online, hoping for some of those very handy "fitting room reviews." I started reading a few, then following a few, then following a lot. Second, I have a private family blog that I've enjoyed in the past, yet I really have to force myself to post on now. I enjoyed it, but I hardly ever get any feedback so I've lost a little motivation, I guess. Third, I'm not a super efficient shopper. I have all kinds of long cardigans and camisoles... too many. I buy things I like, but not really things I need. Lastly, I'd like to learn to be more creative with my outfits. I see a lot of outfits I love, and think, "I love that, but I could never pull that off."  I think that way too often.

So there you have it!
