3 more mondays

I totally love my job. It is crazy for me to think there are only 3 more Mondays until the end of the school year...and then summer school starts. Woo-hoo! If you read my earlier post, my husband and I drove 4 hours south this weekend to the Rocky Mountain Elk Banquet (it is a group that is about conserving the elk population). Anyways, we had a great time and a lovely dinner. Here are some pics from what I wore:

It was so warm and BRIGHT. I was loving it. I couldn't even look at my husband, the sun was shining right in my face!

dress: macys (firela.com-one of my fav clothing brands!)

shoes: nordstroms

belt: nordstroms

necklace: borrowed

clutch: madewell (which i later accidentally spilled a vodka martini on. ugh!)

the perfect fit

Call me lazy, but these are the only pair of pants I've ever gotten tailored. Actually, I used to have a big shopping problem at Nordstrom's. I had personal shopper. I would walk in and she would say, "Ms. [last name]! SO good to see you again. What kind of items can I pull for you?" She KNEW my sizes. She would even send me hand written notes in the mail thanking me for my business. Oh wait, I'm snapping back to reality and my whole point now...and the fact I don't live anywhere remotely close to this lovely store. Nordstrom's has excellent customer service and tailors on hand who will tailor your clothing right then and there for FREE. I mean, these pants fit me PERFECTLY. I'm really more of a dress girl, but I'll wear another pair of untailored pants soon and you can compare.

Look at the hem on those babies.

pants: nordstroms

top/sweater: [gifted] nordstrom's-i think

it's monday. i felt like getting sassy with it.

5 minute outfit

Story 1: Right as I walk into work today, one of my coworkers sees me in the hall and goes, "Hey [insert my last name here], you gotta stop dressing up everyday! You're making me feel guilty!" I haven't known this coworker that long, but he is quite the comedian and has a good personality that I can joke with. I'm like "Dude, this is normal! I have to look sharp everyday!"

To which he replies, "You gotta dress for the job you want, not the job you have!"

Love it!!

Story 2: I'm walking down the same hall a little later and another coworker says, "Hey [insert my last name here], you must have gotten a lot of new clothes for Christmas! You're looking cute!" Super nice compliment. Not new clothes. Ha!

Story 3: I seriously pulled this outfit out of my closet in less than 5 minutes. I knew I wanted to wear the dress and threw all the other stuff together. Apparently, it was a successful outfit. So successful in fact, I rushed home to take it off. I ordered some items from Madewell's killer sale, they took over two weeks to get here and finally arrived today. I immediately began trying things on...and then realized I forgot to take my other pics of my outfit. I know you'll forgive me. :-)
