On the avenue

Today I snapped a picture of myself in the shiny window of a building on fifth avenue. I had just come from a meeting - hence the shirtdress. I was meeting people who I had never met and was a representative of my company so I wanted to seem smart. Even though this dress makes me feel naked on the bottom. I need to find a way to fix that, any ideas? I'm thinking if I can find a pair of short knit shorts or leggings than I can put that under it and I won't feel so exposed. If only this dress was an inch or two longer.

Dressing My Best

I've been following the academic chics and dressing my best this week. I haven't been able to or felt like taking a picture everyday, but I managed to snap a quick one today on my way from work to an after-work meeting. I guess this dress is a keeper - everyone this evening loved it. And yes, these pictures were taken in Macy's. I don't have my mirrored area to take my pictures in anymore, thanks to change in employment.

Today should be an exciting day for me. I don't want to go into details here, but I wanted to wear a cute outfit today. Specifically I wanted to wear the cute jacket I got for Christmas. It was the best kind of gift, something I never would have splurged for and bought myself.

I'm dragging this morning, maybe because I had such a nice weekend I didn't want it to end. I hadn't planned anything special for this past weekend, but it was the little things like seeing my favorite musician on flatbush and unexpectedly getting to ride a vintage subway car that made me so happy.

So I didn't take many pictures while I was home for Thanksgiving. I took one or two that I will post in the coming days. It's really easier to do this when I have a set routine.

I'm travelling today and even though I'm a veteran of flying the new airport security stuff has thrown me for a loop. I'm kind of anxious about the wacky new machines and how long it will take, but all I really care about is that I make it to Pittsburgh in one piece.

Sweater - Old Navy

Gray T shirt - H&M

Jeans - Gap

Sneakers - Converse

Yeah, my outfit reflects the fact that I'm travelling, easy with layers for those hot/cold places. Also the light is horrible in these photos, I corrected the top one so much that my t-shirt is looking blue when it is actually gray.

11.22.10 - Is it time to go yet?

It's back to the workweek for me, at least until I leave to go home tomorrow afternoon. I can't wait!

I found this shirt at Old Navy on clearance last week and knew immediately how I was going to wear it. I just had to take in these pair of pants and I was ready to go.

Shirt - Old Navy

Trouser Jeans - Express (Gabes)

Weekending...

I spent all Saturday in or just doing errands, needless to say I didn't get a good picture of what I was wearing. This was Sunday.
