Conversation #74: It's Friday = Jeans Day

Generally, my office is business casual all the time (even Fridays), but for the next few weeks we get to wear jeans if we donated to United Way. I like United Way so it is a win/win. I actually took Wednesday off and yesterday because I was just too sick to get out of bed. These allergies are really getting me down. My face hurt so bad from the sinus pressure that I couldn't fall alseep. It is also making my teeth ache (my new dentist explained that the root of your teeth go up into your sinuses so that is why they ache sometimes when you have sinus pressure).

Therefore, I am VERY casual today, but I still feel good. Here is the outfit (straight from the awesome bathroom at work - this is the room for nursing mothers per the new healthcare law). However, I am not a nursing mother before you get any ideas - haha!

Shirt: Lands' End Canvas - $8.99 on sale

Jeans: Gap Outlet - $10 (a long time ago)

Shoes: DSW - $32 (on sale and shipped )

Necklace: Forever21 - $?, cheap

Watch: Anne Klein, ebay, $34

I love these clogs, but they are sort of dangerous. These are the shoes I was wearing when I rendered my foot useless during the great plumbing leak of 2011. They were the first time I was wearing them so hopefully it was just a breaking in thing. They are super comfortable as long as I don't twist my foot in them.

I also just noticed how dark my clothes are today. I usually like more of a contrast, but I do think it is sort of slimming (plus the lighting in there with my phone isn't the best). No worries - I won't be wearing all black from now on. That is for my sister - love you sis! (I don't even think she reads my blog anymore, but it's cool because we talk on the phone all the time)

Okay, well I better go get some water before I cough up a lung. Have a lovely weekend, BF's!

A Conversation about Babies

(Picture from here .) I think everyone I know has just had a baby, is going to have a baby, or wants to have a baby! Is there something wrong with me? I want children, with my whole heart. I really look forward to being a mom someday and more and more I hope to be able to stay home with my children. The thing is, I can wait right now. I don’t have baby fever. I feel too young. I’m only 25 – how could I possibly know how to care for a child yet; I can barely take care of my husband, dog, and me. I guess what I’m wondering is should that itch be there? Should I be craving to be a mother? Does this mean my maternal instincts are off? I just feel like an older (and hopefully more mature and less selfish) version of me would make a better mother. Plus, the husband isn’t even out of law school yet! I think about my future children: their looks, personality. In my dreams I love being pregnant (I hope that is true, but the labor part still terrifies me). I know I’ll love sewing l...

Conversation #19: A blast from the past – Monday Movie Review

Ever since the hubby and I ended our blockbuster subscription, we have really not watched too many movies. Honestly, he has been so busy that we just haven’t had the time. However, my amazing in-laws have been entertaining me during this bar exam review time, and we went to see the Sorcerer’s Apprentice on Saturday. (Picture from here .) I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was exciting and thrilling, and in my opinion, I’m not sure I would take a really young child to it (maybe 10 and older…) It kept my attention, and I don’t think that it drug on too long either. Sometimes I think these epic type movies go on and on and on, but this ended at a nice time, and it had the most adorable bulldog in the cast, too! I definitely recommend it! (Picture from here .) We also recently watched The Paper Chase . I guess this movie itself is kind of blast from the past – 1973 to be exact. Our neighbor actually dropped it in our mailbox as ...

Conversation #123: Open to Interpretation

First, I apologize for two posts today. The other one was supposed to post yesterday. I wrote it during lunch, but it didn't post properly. Oh well. So I started reading Kayla's blog during her last wardrobe challenge, and I loved it. I also loved when she and Amy and Erica started doing this series called Open to Interpretation. I have no idea why, but I never thought of taking an outfit I saw in a catalog or a magazine and then recreating it or something like it with what I already own. This has really helped me not only stretch my closet but also push me to try some new fashiony things (without going out to spend a ton of money). Here is the photo inspiration (I just copied it from Kayla's blog): And here is my interpretation: Outfit breakdown: Sweater - Old Navy, $8 Striped Shirt - LOFT (from the event last week), $20 Pink pants - JCPenney, Juniors section (don't tell Stacey and Clinton), $10 Leather Oxfords - J.Jill, $30 Mine is...
