Happy Easter

Here are some shots from today at my parents' church and then their house:

My mom kept getting pictures with some of my outfit cut off, so I had her take this while I posed, heh. What can I say? I liked my outfit today, and I didn't have to care how matchy matchy it was 'cause it's Easter!

Dress: Anthropologie; Blazer: Gap; Shoes: Kohl's;
Necklace: E-Collectique Runway Boutique

Also, yesterday, we got to meet my friend's new little boy! He's really cute, and Bridget loved him. She's definitely ready for a sibling.

I'm so not ready to go back to work tomorrow. Can't we just go right on into the next weekend?

This Week's Outfits

Here's what I wore this week while recapping past outfits. Monday, you already saw.

Tuesday - I wanted to wear this skirt one more time before the weather warmed up.

Skirt: L.L.Bean (gift); Top: Fred Boutique; Cardigan: New York & Company;
Shoes: All Black via shoo; Bracelets: Pandora and Michael Kors

Wednesday - I couldn't decide how to style this shirt. It looked fine with nothing, but I felt like I had to add something to it. First, I tried a vest, but with the black pants, it reminded me too much of my uniform from the movie theater many years ago. This necklace ended up working.

Shirt: Kohl's; Pants: New York & Company;
Shoes: Aerosoles via Famous Footwear; Necklace: ?

Thursday - No tights day! It was an exciting day in the life of a style blogger - the first day of the year I didn't have to wear tights with a dress.

Dress: Lauren by Ralph Lauren (hand-me-down from Mom);
Cardigan: Rodarte for Target; Boots: Target

Friday - After having these cropped pants for over a year, I finally let the cuff down to make them a little longer. I should've done that the first day I bought them. Now they're two sizes too big (poor me, right?), and I need a belt to keep them up. This isn't the most flattering silhouette, but I actually liked how this blazer, which I never know how to style, looked with these purple pants.

Jacket: Sag Harbor via swap; Pants: New York & Company; Booties: Steve Madden

Hope you all have a nice Easter!

Jeans Plus Blazer, Six Ways

Today's link-up theme was "Casual Friday." This theme seemed pretty open for interpretation, so I went with different ways I've worn a blazer plus jeans to work.

I hope you enjoyed this 5 Days, 5 Ways series! I know I did!

One Dress, Six Ways

Each time I've worn this Anthropologie dress, I've consciously tried to style it a little differently, including as a Star Trek officer for Halloween.

One Necklace, Eight Ways

This necklace from Maurices is probably my favorite necklace I own. It just adds so much to whatever I'm wearing. Having said that, I was able to find eight outfits I've incorporated this necklace into on the blog.

One Pair of Pants and One Skirt, Multiple Ways

These were, I believe, the last pair of jeans I bought from Old Navy before I lost faith in their denim. Don't get me wrong, I still love pretty much everything else they sell, just not their saggy-bottom jeans.

When I was planning these posts, I was originally going to add a skirts day at the end since there wasn't one listed. Then, I learned that skirts are included in the pants/bottoms day. So now you get both! I've featured this Jason Wu for Target so many times on the blog since I bought it just over a year ago that it's definitely become my Most Valuable Skirt.

One Top, Five Ways

I started thinking about what piece I wanted to use for each day of Franziska and Whitney's 5 Ways, 5 Days link-up, and all the other days were easy. I knew right away what I wanted to use. For the tops, it was harder to decide since I had a few different ones in mind; but in the end, it came down to which one I could find five outfits for in the archives. This yellow tank top from Target was the winner.

I also wore this tank top just last week, but I didn't like the outfit enough to take pictures of it.
