It may not look like much, but considering that I almost had to stay home from work for lack of something to wear, this outfit is a win in my book. I started the day wanting to wear a new pair of pants, but I soon concluded that the pants were not flattering. I moved on to a shirt which was cute but would require me to sit up straight and not eat all day. Rinse, lather, repeat until I threw this on and decided it was acceptable.
Shirt: Akiko
Cardigan: J. Crew
Jeans: Levis
Boots: Gap
Belly: last night's apple tart and 5lbs of popcorn

Remember a few weeks ago when I was bragging about my thrift haul, which included a brand new Theory pantsuit for $12.50? Well here's the suit in all its boring awesomeness. One of the drawbacks of having to go to court is that I have to wear suits a lot, which I am certain is the ONLY reason* I will never be featured as a cool fashion blogger in Lucky magazine or get sponsored by cool brands who give me swag and send me to conferences :) But the upside to wearing suits - is they are easy. Just toss one on, pick a pretty blouse and you are out the door in less than 5 minutes. It also helps to have had your power turned back on so you can see what you are doing.
Suit: Theory via Goodwill
Blouse: Akiko via TJ Maxx
Shoes: Bass
* well it might also be my advanced age, lumpy figure, pedestrian tastes, and occasional tendency to make puns (aka "theoretically awesome" / theory pantsuit - get it?!? :)

A belated happy towel day to everyone. Also a belated thanks to everyone who commented yesterday - I should threaten to cut up designer dresses more often :) Seriously I do appreciate the input and comments.
This morning was one of those mornings where I just did not know what to wear. Nothing felt right so I went with the classic blouse and pencil skirt combo. Work appropriate and comfortable although a tad boring.
Shirt: akiko (via TJ Maxx)
Skirt: Jil Sander (via Goodwill)
