CASUAL UNIFORM

It's gorgeous weather in Chicago!  Which means it's time to lotion up those ashy knees we have been hiding in our winter gear and bust out the short shorts.  =)  Hehehehe... On days that it teeters from a cool breeze and heat from the sunshine, I like to wear a loose slight open weave sweater with some simple denim shorts.  This sweater is so comfy and the open weave lets the breeze come through so I am not too warm.  It also comes in an electric yellow which I am thinking I also need in my closet.  Hehehe... I am definitely loving the sunshine we have been having.  I am instantly in a better mood.  I hope you all are having a great week.  It's almost the weekend and I've got a dinner with the girls to look forward to.  We are celebrating a birthday for my darling Jane!  Happy early birthday my love.  I can't wait to see my ladies!  Girls night out is a must to keep me sane.  By the way, what do you guys think of my new oversized envelope clutch?  I got two colors in this since it was such a great deal.  It's only $36 from Asos!  I got this lovely neutral color and a bold neon yellow color.  I adore the gold tab corner detail.  It comes a little stiff but will soften over time and use.  Definitely a fun accessory to have.  And let's not forget to mention my new kicks.  =D  I could not resist these B Brian Atwood Teatro sandals  (brown version here).  Perfect for spring/summer!  It took me a while to decide if I wanted brown versus gray.  Luckily my size makes these decisions for me since I couldn't find my size in the brown.  LOL.  <3

DETECTIVE DOS

Happy Friday everyone!  Finally!  An outfit post!  LOL!  Sorry, I'm just excited to share this one with you all.  This is me looking a little like an old school detective.  Maybe mainly because of the hat.  But like a fashionable one, with killer shoes.  It was actually a pretty bad day to wear a hat because it was pretty windy so that was fail on my part.  Oh well.  You can't tell that from the pictures so HA!  I'm still a little under the weather.  My cough is now coupled with the sniffles so I am just trying to get through the day.  However, aside from the minor cold, this week has been kind of awesome.  Since I'm pretty much an open book, I'll tell all my readers that I got a new job and will be starting towards the end of April.  It's still in the same field (I am a tax nerd) but it's a step up from my current position so I'm pretty excited.  =)  It was definitely bittersweet to turn in my notice to my manager.  I absolutely love my manager at my current job.  We have a very interesting relationship and I feel like she's just like one of my friends.  That can sometimes be a really hard thing to find in the corporate world.  I'm definitely going to miss everyone I worked with.  But you always have to move forward and let new opportunities challenge you and try not to get too comfortable in your current situation.  Challenge yourself to be better and always tell yourself that you deserve better.  This will propel you forward in anything you do.  So that's kind of what has been taking over my time the past week or so and I'm happy to share the news to my loyal readers.  <3  I guess I put together this outfit because I was feeling pretty bad ass this week.  Nothing like a promotion to get you feeling confident and bad ass.  And when I'm feeling bad ass, I find myself dressing edgy and in dark colors with metal and leather.  Hahahahaha...  Let me know what you think of the look!  =)  Have a great weekend everyone!
