Not Feeling It OOTD

Another day when there was a dress and heels on the agenda.  Another day where I woke up and said yuck, can I just wear my sweats.  We didn't resort to sweats and I did manage to keep the sweater and shoes from the original plan in the mix, but this was the best I could do.

Anybody else really missing warm weather?  I don't need 80s, although that would be great, but can I just leave my damn gloves and coat at home already??!!

Here's my cold weather alternative to a beautiful feminine dress that's begging to be worn.  I really love this sweater.  The details and fit are very nice, but something about the collar reminds me of that ruffly ring clowns wear around their neck (see close up below).  What do you think?

I did make a discovery today.  I have no bright colors in my closet.  There is color yes, but bright color, no.  A nice bright tank would've been better under this sweater today in my opinion.  Gonna have to remedy that with more shopping!!

Ok, ok, I admit it - I changed into flats before work.

OOTD - First Day of Spring & a B-Day

This year on the first day of spring we had a party to go to.  My little nephew (actually, he's my grand nephew but that just makes me sound much older than 37) is turning 2.  Party was held at my sister-in-law's house and the weather was pretty nice.  Warm sun but the wind had a bit of bite to it.  I figured a good ole cardigan was the way to go here.

And luckily I decided not to have my new Paige Lou Lou's hemmed before washing and drying them.  The length is now perfect for the wedges I would typically wear with these.  Probably could lose an inch off the bottom, but after seeing how much they shrunk, I'm just going to keep 'em as is.

The kids all had a blast playing outside for the first time in a while!

 The beautiful birthday boy.  Can you say eyelashes for miles!

And we had skebbies for dinner.  This is my grand niece and her first spaghetti slurp.

And one of the hubs just cuz I think he's cute.  :)

Happy Spring everyone.

What Goes Around Comes Around

Pretty certain I've confessed about my love of tight pants previously, but I do have an exception.  I absolutely adore classic trousers - in denim, of course.  For my figure type, they are usually very flattering.  The slant of the pockets, the higher flat waist, a fit that hugs the hips and then widens and elongates the legs.  What's not to like?

A few years ago I splurged on a pair of white Seven denim trousers (still have and love them).  Instantly, I was in love.  And shhhh, but I used to wear them to my "no jeans" job in the city.  You couldn't tell they were denim.  At least I wasn't telling!

How thrilled was I this season with the resurgence of the denim trouser.  I will be buying another pair or two, but for now I settled on a pair from the Gap and it's love all over again.  Dressed them up a bit today for the office.

These jeans are great.  Super comfortable.  They fit perfectly (although they appear to run long.  I usually wear a long length, but when I tried the long, they were ridiculously so).  I love all the perfect little details too.  Can't wait to search my closet for other goodies to use to rock these jeans.

Are you going to sport any of the wider leg styles this year?

Oh Yeah, and I'm Addicted to Nail Polish - Freebie Alert!!

Yup, me.  The one with nubs for finger nails.  I don't bite them or pick at them, they are just soft and break very easily.  Yet, I LOVE nail polish (and lipstick).  I think it's all the color possibilities.  Or maybe it's just the shiny sparklies!  Someday I'm going to go through what I have and offer some here - it's really time to cut back.

But, that day is not today, no sir!!  Zoya Nail Polish is having a Facebook promo offering 3 free bottles of nail polish with code FB2011.  Become a fan HERE and order away.  My plan was to take advantage of the three freebies and order one additional, but somehow nine polishes ended up in my cart.  Hmmm...I may have a problem.

If you order, lemme know whatcha got!!

Here's my haul:

I'd add photos but it seems the site is having traffic issues and I can't get in.  Worth it to keep trying though.
