From Office to a Date Night

 

 

 

 

Dress: Wal-mart ($10), Heels: Shoe Warehouse sale ($15), Watch: Fossil (gift), Bracelet: Claire's ($3), Studs: Forever 21 ($3)

 

This is what I wore to office in the morning today with a white blazer and a messy hair bun (sorry no pic - but just use your imagination). After 5pm, hubby and I decided to head out for dinner with friends. Date night outfit entailed letting the hair down and taking off the blazer.

 

Isn't this the cutest dress? I have been having a weird luck with finding cute dresses at WALMART! Oh, forgot to mention it has pockets, and the coolest back EVER! right??

 

Happy Hump Day! :)

Orange and Hot Pink Combo

Tank top: Old Navy ($5), Skirt: RICKIs ($15), Cardigan: H&M ($10), Shoes: Steve Madden, Watch: Fossil (gift), Earrings: F21 ($3)

I am a big fond of prints esp colorful prints. Why? Bec they go with everything and this blog had taught me alot about choosing and using a piece of clothing to be versatile. I love it, I wore this top backwards for work appropriate look as the front is quite revealing but it might work for a fun date night out with hubby ;)

Its almost the weekend!! We will visit my hubby grandma, go to a indian concert, sunday to the temple and do some laundry. What are your plans?

9. P & P - Print and.........

I have owned this skirt for 6 years now and since printed skirts are in, I had to put it in my mix.

With all the rain we had, the roses are blooming like no one's business. So I "stopped and smelled the roses"

a quick twirl

Thanks again for stopping by guys, let me know how the challenge is so far for you. I am loving it! Are you?

1. Perfect Timing

Hello lovelies, here is my first outfit of the challenge. Simple but i like it.

I took up this challenge to work with the best pieces I have (I have other good pieces but these are the summery work appropriate pieces) , I also want to learn to accessorize better and on the side, it will also help me save some $$ and shop smarter and answer the question - "What the heck is my style?" bec I am not sure.

I also look forward to breaking some rules (rules are made to be broken - right? Hopefully no police offcers are reading my post! If you are a police officer and are reading this - I am only kidding. I am only talking about fashion rules - like wearing black and brown together!

This past weekend was non- existent for me. Why you ask? Well we are getting our house built and now it is ready to move into in about a month. So we spent all weekend cleaning our current house which meant I have started packing all my non-30X30 items! Thats why this challenge comes as a perfect timing so hopefully "Out of sight, out of mind" rule will help me out

I will be posting everyday (M -F) around this time (take pics after work and post in the evening) if you are wondering when i will be posting. Also I got so much inspiration from all of you from reading your comments on my 30X30 picks- so thank you for taking the time to comment and follow along! I truely appreciate it! :)

P.S. Me and a co-worker showed up in matching outfits today. Yeah we have pretty like-minded people in our office :) How cool is that??

What are you trying to learn from this challenge and what have you learned if you have participated before? Would love to know!
