Working Girl

Top: Target, Skirt: Kohls, Heels: Thrifted, Belt: Diamente Jewelry
 Most of the outfits I feature on the blog are something I wore over the weekend. The other day while I at work someone mentioned to me that they really liked the way I dress and how I always have creative outfits. I thought it would be fun to show you all something you can find me wearing during the week. Normally I try to stick with pencil skirts but I do wear this pleated skirt every now and then. The most important thing for me when getting dressed in the morning is just to have fun with the outfit while still staying in dress code for my job. I used to be the girl who just rolled out of bed and wore whatever before I started this blog so I now I make it a point to dress up for work and let my personality shine through...this is actually something I wouldn't mind wearing out for a date. 
How do you dress for work? Is it completely different from how you dress when you are dressing for yourself?

Life Lately

 1. Wearing my all time favorite dress to TxSc Prom. I had so much dancing the night away with new friends.
 2. Shopping in a casual outfit...classic white tee and jeans combo.
3. I had a short week at work where Thursday was pretty much my Friday...that's calls for the type of celebration that includes chocolate icing and sprinkles.
3. Photobooth pics!! These were taken after a night of drinking and dancing...shortly after these photos, stops to 4 different food trucks happened. 
5. Ok, so I met Elsie and Emma of A Beautiful Mess...can you say blogger dream come true. These girls are the sweetest and I got to have a fun conversation with them. 
6. This kitten is totally stealing the spotlight...I don't mind. Look at those beautiful baby blues.
7. While in Austin the one thing on the top of my list was finding Hey Cupcake. These were beyond delicious.
8. I saw Hollywood Undead for the 2nd time this year. Being able to see them perform a full show was amazing! 
9. Playing with prints and textures...sequins, floral lace, and stripe shorts = a fun outfit.
10. One of my favorite moments while in Austin. Me and Chris snuck up to the top floor to take in the city view after a memorable night.

Sweet Spot for Scallops

Top: Target, Shorts: Langford Market, Heels: Image 
Last weekend while at the Texas Style Conference, I took a workshop about self photography. Elizabeth from Delightfully Tacky is hilarious and gave some helpful tips on the subject. I decided that this weekend would be my perfect chance to test it out. Consider this outfit post as self photography take 1. Not so bad for my first time in front of the self timer on my camera...I'm a good student I guess. I bought these shorts while shopping in downtown Austin last week. I thought the scallop edges were the cutest and knew they would a great addition to my summer wardrobe...loving them so far.
