Thursday Night Football :: Boyfriend Jeans & Faux Leather Peplum

 

 

Happy...last day of the week! Yippie! We made it. Put everything behind you and get ready for another beautiful September weekend.

About today's outfit. I wore this to watch watch Thursday Night Football with friends in the city. If I had to wear one outfit for "the rest of my life" (I know we've all asked this question before), this would be the outfit. Let's start with the top, cotton and faux leather at it's best! The most comfy shirt I own. Then my Current Elliott Boyfriend jeans that I got on sale for $99. These jeans area heaven-sent! So comfy. I could spend 5 days in these jeans and they are so comfortable. The jeans are soft and worn in! Last, but not least are the Boutique 9 heels. These open toe booties are one of my favorite heels in my collection. I've only worn them a handful of times, but I love the wool, and faux leather on the heel. I've spent some time trying to find the link to the shoe, but I'm unable to find it online. I'll continue to search and update you wit any progress.

Happy Labor Day everyone! I hope most of you have today off and are enjoy the time away from work.  I'm a big believer in "breaks" from work.  If it weren't for the weekend to slow me down, I think I could work seven days of the week.  I owe this to being a slight perfectionist and a multitasker, ladies I know several of you can agree! On the weekends I  shut down my "work brain" and focus on my fiance and my blog. It's a good time to regroup and focus for the next week.  

Today's outfit is two of my favorite pieces in my closet.  I love this floral top, I could wear it everyday.  The same for the skirt. The material is so pretty and it fits me perfectly around the waist. It poufs out just enough to be a girly striped skirt.

shoe swap!

After moving to New York and having a 3 minute walk to work, I was convinced that I'd be able to walk in my heels to the office.  However, I quickly realized that a pair of flats can get me to work faster AND they save my nice heels from the concrete and dirt in the city.  Very few woman walk to work in heels.  Most are wearing flip flops or a cute pair of sandals.  A good friend told me, you'll quickly become a bag lady in New York.  You'll need your purse and then an extra bag for everything else (extra pair of shoes, umbrella, makeup, water, etc).

I also wanted to bring an element of reality to blogging.  Typically when Matt and I take photos for my blog, I bring a pair of flats.  In most blogs the outfit seems so effortless, I beg to differ...at some point a pair of shoes were swapped out! 

I found this great pair of Vince Camuto slippers at Nordstoms, they work great to walk to work.  They are very professional and super comfy!

The past few weeks I've done a little research in "hair dos". I've seen ever hair style you can imagine.  With my hair and face shape, I couldn't find anything that was a good alternative to the large wavy hair and then yesterday I saw a picture of Miranda Kerr with her wavy hair sweep to the side.  It looked amazing on her.  I tried it out today and it looked great! Next time I'll pin it with bobby pins.

Last night I attended a Poshmark event in SF.  If you haven't downloaded the app, do it right now! You'll find so many great items on the app and you can also make money.  I cleaned out my closet and made a few extra dollars to refresh my closet.  The Founder and CEO, Manish, is such a great entrepreneur.  He is also the founder of Kaboodle...some of you may remember.  It's amazing that he came up with this app and it has grown so quickly in the last year.  I've also had the pleasure of meeting Stephanie Palmeri, who is a Priciple at SoftTechVC and is part of the founding team and took part of one of the first Posh Parties!  I wish the Poshmark team the best of success in the future.

Hope you enjoy the app.  If you ever have questions, feel free to email me.  I'd be happy to give anyone advice on buying and selling on Poshmark.

This is one of my favorite casual outfits.  The shirt I made myself, the sweater was a great find from Marshalls and the jeans are from a consignment shop.  The shoes, sweater and glasses have gold accents which are always a great touch to any outfit.
