OOTD: Funky Fresh

Can we talk about how fun and funky these pants are? Or, should we talk about how affordable this whole outfit is?! Both the top and pants are from Forever 21 (yes, my new fav place I suppose), and once again I was surprised by the quality. Oh, and if you were curious about the sweater, it's Summer in SF people...fuh-reezing.

OOTD: Green with Envy

Summer is back in the city! Yay! Gotta soak it up while you can because in SF it can change in less than a day. Raining one day, hot the next? Yup, believe it. When I found out I would be joining the corporate world again, I immediately ran to Zara to pick a few things up. Today's fit is what I came up with a couple weeks ago. Just love the green color of this skirt!

Back in Action - For the Love of a (More Corporate) Fit!

I have been missing my blog! I took a little hiatus after getting laid off...Not a whole lot of shopping happening at that time and my daily outfit of choice usually consisted of yoga pants. Ya, I doubt you wanted to see those pictures on the daily!

But, alas, my funemployment days are over and not only am I back in the daily grind, I'm working in a somewhat corporate environment.  Goodbye camo pants and sneaker wedges, you have been banished to the weekend (and maybe the occasional Friday), and hello business casual. All those fun fits will be missed, but now I get the opportunity to come up with all kinds of new (and dare I say it, slightly more grown up) fits, especially for my ladies in the office environments!

So I hope you will continue to join me on my journey of new fits...on a budget of course!

OOTD: Camo Pants x2

When I first mentioned purchasing a pair of camo pants, my fiancee had a look on his face like, yer kidding right?! And when I came home with said pants, the look didn't change. But come on! Camo pants are freakin' adorable! Whatevs...I still love em and definitely don't regret purchasing this pair from Zara.

F21 Skirts to Love

I used to think Forever 21 was only good for cheap, trendy clothing (womp womp), but now I've realized that Forever 21 is great for cheap, trendy clothing (yay)! You can find some great pieces for amazing prices, especially when looking for something that may be around for this season, but extinct the next. I just ordered the second skirt, and hope to have an outfit post up soon after it arrives. Here are a few of my picks for spring and summery skirts:

DIY: Lace & Twine Mason Jar Candle Holder

I have been in wedding land the past month or so, especially since I lost my job! So much time to spend on fun diy projects. Here is the current project I'm working on. What do you think?

OOTD: LOL (Lady of Leisure)

So, I got laid off last week and am now trying to keep to my stylish ways but in a MUCH more comfortable fashion. Yes, I have become a LOL (lady of leisure). Not for long...hopefully...but for now, I will accept it. I adore this scarf, because a) I am obsessed with skulls, and b) it looks just like the Alexander McQueen scarf I have been lusting after, but with a Zara price tag. And can we please talk about these shoes? I mentioned in a previous post that I just bought these, and although I should be returning since the price tag was high and I have no job, I just refused to part with them. They were just too cute!
