Casual Friday with a Wrap Up

 What a week it's been.  I have to say I am very pleased with my selections this week.  I didn't think I could possibly find anything new to wear out of what I already had. Look, I managed.  I bet I could do even more from what's in that dark abyss of a closet of mine. So get ready. I wore my Old Navy jeans twice this week. Casual Friday dictated it.  Hey, they were clean!

So, day four of my dirty hair and I had to wear it with a headband.  I can't take it anymore and at this point the only real options are to tease the hell out of it and slap it behind a headband. No worries. It didn't bother me, but I seriously need to wash it tonight for sure.  I finally get to go on a Poker Run for charity this weekend. Plan on enjoying myself.  I hope you all have a good weekend.  Caio!!

Slouch Wear

Do you ever notice how you feel when you're wearing your slouch wear?  I always feel somewhat blah, blah and blah.  I decided that even though I was wearing slouch wear today, I wasn't going to look like I was wearing slouch wear.  I started out in sweats, my mens hanes tank and flip flops.  Let's upgrade, shall we?

  My jeans are thrifted from the Salvation Army.  I paid a whole $2 for them.  They are a bit loose now because I've lost another two pounds, so they add a bit of slouchyness to my look. My mens hanes white tank, is swapped out for this one from Aeropastle. I traded my flip flops for flats and added a cardigan. And there you have it, my slouch wear is now going out to run errands wear.  Day three of my dirty hair finds it up in a high sock bun. Add earrings and a necklace and you have an attitude change. Now I feel like conquering the world! Ok, not the world, just a few errands:-)

 That's right, change your attitude by changing a few items in your wardrobe.  It really is that simple.  

Prime and Mud

 

That's right, it's Wednesday and every Wednesday at Black Angus is Prime and Mud night (I received no compensation for that shameless plug).  Don't be hatin!  I'm so happy to meet my friends for dinner. Yay! How cliche is it for me to be wearing leather?  For me? Totally doable.  I'm going to a steakhouse, to eat steer, wearing leather. Well, faux leather that is. What a way to end a stressful day.  To work early, got loads done. Then the afternoon turns into, well, bull hockey. No bother, someone once said when you think you got it bad channel your energy into helping someone who really does have it bad.  I don't know who said that, but I read somewhere that someone said that.  I did just that, I channeled my energy and time into someone else who is going through something similar.  We both feel much better now.  Thanks LT.  I appreciate you trusting me to do the listening for a change.

These are my favorite jeans, with my favorite booties and my favorite faux leather jacket.  You've seen me wear this top before here. You know that's why the morning was so great.  I was dressed in favorites!  Can you tell this is day two for my dirty hair?  That's right, my girl N wants me to see how long I can go without washing my hair before I absolutely have to either wash it or use some sort of dry shampoo or product to get it to not look dirty.  We'll see how long it takes before I break. After all, I'm a wash my hair everyday kind of girl.

Copy Cat

My inspiration for the day.

Ok, it's not exactly a copy cat, but I did find it inspirational.  I put this together with my nude pumps but wondering if I shouldn't have ventured into the black bootie look? My booties stop just before the ankle, so I'm not sure they would have created the same look.  But hey, I tried.  This look will do for the office and considering I'm having to work from home today, I don't suppose it matters much. The gist is that I like the color and structure combination. I managed to use that to build a look that was both age and weather appropriate.  Speaking of age appropriate, am I the only person that has to hit the gym constantly to maintain?  I dropped around ten pounds recently and after not hitting the gym for a few days I am up 2 pounds.  Why oh why?!
