What I wore to work today!



Planning out my outfit a day ahead is supposed to save me time, right? Ha! I think it saves me time so I have time to tool around my place until I feel like I'm abusing my powers as being my own boss. But, I have to admit, I feel like a million bucks when I show up...and hopefully I look it too. One time, I was at a restaurant during lunch and a really old guy came up to me and told me how pretty I was. So I guess all this prep work does pay off to people who are clearly losing their vision.

On to the clothing...this J.Crew Leopard Sequin Cardigan is ridiculous. Retailing at $350, I waited until it hit about 2 markdowns before buying it. The verdict? It's one of those cardigans that really didn't get much play, probably because of the retail price. But when you see the details on it, your jaw just drops! Who, in their right mind, would sit there for hours/days/weeks sewing on all this iridescent sequins? Well, someone did, and boy did they do a great job. The print underneath is the leopard print in gray, but the sequins will make it appear somewhat light greenish, in real life. Paired with my J.Crew Joelle Cami in navy, this will make for a nice contrast.

It's Friday tomorrow...so wear something special to celebrate the fact that there are two more days until Monday! :)

What I wore to work today!



Navy and Gold. I just love this combination. I got the J.Crew Mallorca Dress in Navy a few years back and have loved it ever since. (Thanks to Slastena's Blog, who wore it, which gave me the a-ha! moment to pull it from my closet). The dress has a built in shelf bra, and hits at the calves, which was perfect for a warm day. Because I'm demure with my bustline (don't want to give away the farm), I wore the J.Crew Ikat Cardigan, in Maize. It's a linen/silk blend, so it won't keep you totally warm, but it's a nice cover up piece. The outfit gave me the perfect flow for the wonderful weekend weather we were having this July 4th.

I have one more J.Crew Ikat Cardigan in xs, NWT, so if you'd like it, come visit my ebay store:
