Stepping It Up

My office is very flexible with work attire. We are a jeans company, so wearing them everyday is not something that is frowned upon.

At the end of last year I started getting lazy with my outfits. I was dressing more for comfort instead of for the job I have. It didn't hit me until my boss was out of the office and one of our Sr. Recruiters was in town. She asked me how I was doing "besides dressing super casual" while my boss was out of the office.

In that moment I could have died. This isn't the person I am or want to be perceived as. That day I made a decision to stop dressing for comfort and start dressing for the position I hold and who I assist.

The Outfit I got called out on

My goals now when coming into the office are...

*Heels 3 days per week

*Lipstick {at least put it on in the morning, if it doesn't get reapplied oh well}

*Venture out of my safety zone and wear one new outfit a week

*Stand up straight

*Accessorize more

A Girl Can Never Have Enough Shoes

This past weekend MG and I headed to the Century City mall to exchange a couple items for our big trip! While we were I had to stop in J.Crew {of course} to see if there was anything I needed to pick up just in case;) I fell in love with way too many pairs of shoes. Why do they have to cost $200+?! Ugh...so aggravating!

A Little Late...

I know I am late on this, but I was out of town and didn't have access to a computer. I just have to comment and say that I LOVED Kate's dress and I am loving the cover of WWD today. They asked some of fashions most influential people what they thought of "The Dress."

"I found the fitted lace bodice and the fairly large skirt, without tiers or technical draping, just right-a modern version of a tradition that will never be outdated. I would have preferred a closed neckline, however." Vera Wang

"The dress was absolutely perfect for her. The important detail was that she looked as though she felt very comfortable and moved very well in it. The dress didn't move. I love the long sleeves, the lace, the short veil with the little tiara and her hair. If I have to rate her from one to 10, I give her an 11. It was beyond." Carolina Herrera

"I was beyond thrilled when I heard Sarah Burton had done the dress. She has really picked up the pieces and has resurged the hours. The selection of the designer also shows she takes risks and that's terrific. They best accessory was the sparkle in her eyes. You could see the love between them in how they looked at each other. Despite having 2 billion watching, it was still there moment." Monique Lhuillier

I haven't heard of anyone who dislikes the dress, have you?

Spring/Summer Shopping List

I am the type of shopper who LOVES to buy things on sale and will do so just because they are on sale even if I am not 100% in love with the item. This has resulted in a lot of wasted money and a closet full of clothes that are just okay in my eyes. In January I came across this blog post. It has truly changed the way I go shopping. JCB picked 40 items that she wanted for the year. She is only going to buy what is on that list. It is broken down into different categories and she gives herself 5 wild cards. I have tweaked this process for my liking: 30 Items for Spring/Summer including 5 wild cards. Each item has a budget as well. I don't expect for me to get all 30 items because some are more on the pricier side, but this will help me stay on track for when I enter JCrew and want EVERYTHING!
