Thursday 5.13

I had a goal to wear all skirts and dresses this week. However, I just wasn't feeling it this morning! I like this look--it feels a tad nautical to me, n'est pas?



Shirt: Antilia Femme via Ross (love the adorable gold button detail on the sleeves and top button)
Pants: NY & Co. - Look like denim but they are actually denim like dress pants
Shoes: Merona for Target
Necklace and Earrings: Forever 21

J was very non preppy today! I call this his "Cute boy in Wicker Park" look. Wicker Park is/was the ultimate hipster neighborhood in Chicago! He wanted me to take the picture while he was making me dinner (which he does pretty much every night!)



Shirt: Some internet store--not Threadless but similar
Jeans: Gap
Shoes: Converse

Lilly P on Rue lala --A testament to teamwork!

I spotted this lovely on the preview for the Rue lala Lilly Pulitzer sale. Knowing I would not be able to buy it at work (not allowed to make purchases using their computers), I contacted my hubby to be available to purchase it for me. He has his own Rue lala account, if you can believe that :) I sat with bated breath for the clock to strike 11am and quickly refreshed my browser. There it was--the Beachy Keen Bag! For $49 bucks! SOLD! A breathless call to J and just seconds later, the bag was mine! I logged back in an hour later and all the bags were sold out. Whew!



We are going away for the weekend so I won't be posting till Sunday. We'll bring the camera though and maybe have a little weekend fashion photoshoot!

Hump Day 5.12

The temps are rising steadily, so I can't bear to wear anything but a dress or skirt/top to work. I did notice I'm wearing the same shoes for the third day in a row. I need to buy another pair of summery tan shoes!

This dress is an oldie but a goodie. I wore it one of my wedding showers and to my rehearsal dinner. It's comfy but I still feel a bit put together.

Eeep I just looked at the pic and it looks like my stomach is so there. I"m chalking it up to the angle and lighting--yeah, that's it!



Dress: Dress Barn

Necklace: Starfish from Premier

Onto J. Doesn't he look ready for a J Crew photo shoot??

Tuesday 5.11

Today I'm wearing a dress you may have seen if you read What Andie Wears! I bought it at Target several years ago and it has been a staple of my wardrobe. Not sure why it looks like it is below my knee, because I swear it isn't! Like many things I own, it could use about an inch off the bottom.

Shirt: Gap Listed on the website for $41.99, but J just said he paid $34.99!

Belt and Shoes: Clarks

I planned to work out after work (which I did! yay!) so I did a "real live polyvore" on my outfit of the day.

Aside from the shoes, I am a Target poster girl with this look!

Mother's Day!

J and I spent time with our mommies on Mother's Day. I took my mom bargain shopping at TJ Maxx, Marshall's and Ross. The trifecta of great deals! We had a blast!

I met up with J at my in-laws house for dinner. J cooked a rib roast, potatoes, corn and salad for us! We dined outside since the weather was a balmy 75 degrees and little humidity. Bliss!
