Days 12 -17... Keep Calm and Carry On



This quote couldn't be more true.  I know it's not an official quote from someone famous, but when I saw it I thought I have to post that.  You won't see me dress immodestly.  Now, keep in mind there is a difference between immodesty and sexy... Day 12 was a sexy outfit.  Wore it to work with a sweater over it, then out to Mass Ave. for an evening of cocktails and catching up with my sister.  I love it when I don't have to change from work clothes to "going to dinner" clothes.  But I also love it when I do change into something a little more eye catching.  Although, eye catching doesn't mean slutty.  My dad always said, the more you show, the more guys think they can have.  Of course, right now with this sub-zero temps I'm not showing anything...


Day 12... Love this skirt.  Got it just before Christmas at Forever 21 for $7.  I mean $7!!! And it's perfect.  I can wear just about any shoes or black shirt with it.  I can dress it up with something sheer and some heels or dress it down with a black T and flats.  (Who am I kidding, I don't own a pair of flats...but you get my drift).

I told you I was going to do black shorts and boots with the fur for my work outfit this week.  Nailed it!  Hahaha.  For next week I'm wearing gold pants.  You can't see it, but on the back of the Bailey's shirt it there is a gold shamrock.  Therefore, gold pants should be fabulous!  And please excuse this picture.  When you don't have anyone to take a pic of you, you must use the full size mirror in the bathroom of the bar where you work. 

Day 16...I know, you are wondering where the pics for days 14 and 15 are, right?  Well, day 14 was Sunday and I was in my pajamas most of the day.  I did get up and put on some jeans and a sweatshirt to go see my parents, but then I came home and went back to bed because I was exhausted from working Saturday night.  Day 15 was Martin Luther King Jr. day and I was off work.  So, once again I did jeans and a sweatshirt.  I was going to have my son take a pic of this, but I forgot and it really isn't anything to get excited about anyway.  The above pic is day 16.  I love these pants, but the more I see the pics of me in them, I'm thinking they don't look as cute as I thought they did.  I love this sweater.  Mostly because I can wear it with anything.  Jeans, skirts, dress pants...with a shirt under it or just a tank, it looks great with anything.  I wish I would have gotten it in every color. 



Day 17.  Since it's 4 degrees outside and we don't deal with the public at work on Wednesdays, my boss said we could wear jeans.  Please note, the shoes match the sweater.  Yep, that's how I roll...matching my shoes to my sweaters. 


I wanted to give a special thank you to my cousin Carrie for sending me a gift card for T.J. Max.  I did have a rather bummer of a weekend and shopping always makes me feel better.  I got the card in the mail on Friday and thought I would hang on to it for a day when I was feeling really down, but Sunday seemed like a good a day as any to go shopping.  I bought the gold pants I'll be wearing to work on Saturday night.  So, THANKS CARRIE!!!  I'm so grateful for the people supporting me in everything I'm doing in my life, not just this project and blog.  The card Carrie sent me said "Keep Calm and Carry On".  So, I will...
