Kimberly week

I decided that instead of getting my inspiration from magazines or TV, I'm going to get my inspiration or duplicate look from other bloggers. This week I am calling it Kimberly week from Fab Finds Under $50 we have similar items and thought it would be neat to be Kimberly for a week :)

Don't worry, If I follow your blog you might be next weeks blogger inspiration ;) just let me know if you do not want me to use your photos, and I'll be happy to ask some other blogger for inspirational help.

I also plan to participate in The small Fabric of my life wardrobe capsule during March 1st, if any of you have seen my closet ---> check the label 'closet' for a quick peak, you'll know this will probably be a tough challenge for me, but since it will all be work related, I might be able to pull it off. Let's just hope the weather doesn't change on me like it did today...from 65 degrees to a hot 85 today.

I traveled to Sacramento yesterday and arrived this morning, so I have posted two pictures. I did forget my stockings for the red dress and felt kind of 'neckid' but overall I didn't think I did to bad. More to come....

Monday:
Dress-Banana Republic (remix)

InStyle 07' Guide

I'm loving the year 2007, it seems that these classics never go out of style and I feel very modern considering the InStyle Guide was issued 3 years ago. Oh how I love my inspiration.

Sweater Coat--Banana Republic (remix)
Tank Top--Banana Republic
Cropped Jeans--Rider (remix)
Boots--Cobbler (remix)
Necklace-Semi Precious gemstones

cropped jeans

Until I saw this picture of InStyle 07' Guide it had never occurred to me that cropped jeans can look sophisticated. I do plan to do this look again with the tie blouse and peep-toe heels, but I've been wanting to wear this blouse for a long time and thought this was the perfect way to dress it up.

I'm telling you, I really do think I dress better with some sort of inspiration.

Blouse--NY&CO
Jacket--Isaac Mizrahi for Target (Remix)
jeans--Gloria Vanderbilt
shoes--Forever 21

I do better with inspiration

Sadly, I think I dress better when I copy a look (or do an outfit inspired look) then try to do it on my own. This look came from the page of InStyle 07' guide, I found this book the other day and started going through it again and thought this look would be a good look today.

Plus since it wasn't raining anymore I needed an excuse to wear my leather jacket my husband bought for me for my birthday. I do wish I owned the lime green vest, but I was happy with what I owned.

Blouse--Banana Republic
Sweater--Banana Republic
Skirt--Ann Taylor (remix)
Shoes--Nine West (remix)
jewelry--Gold Earrings and Necklace
Jacket--Chadwicks

Someone asked me if I can start doing the details on my outfits, I'll try to play around with the software, but overall, its really because the lack of time I have. I will try and make more of an effort. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your nice comments on my blog.

Mental Note: take picture in the morning

I haven't had the time to take a picture in the morning, so by the time I get to it, its around 7pm or so. My husband is so sweet, he says I look beautiful at 7pm as I do when I first wake up. Got a love a man that thinks your pretty no matter what.

Dress Suit--Calvin Klein
Shoes--Confort by Moda Comoda (remix)
Italian Sterling Silver Chain--Gift from mom

rain again?

Rain wouldn't bother me so much if I wasn't driving in it. Yesterday it rain very hard with thunder and lightning and even though it was pretty to watch, driving in it can get a little scary especially when the people around you are not use to it.

I don't know how I feel about this sweater, I don't think it flatters me to well and I wish the neckline was a little lower, but overall I like the color combo and the bottom 1/2 of the outfit.

One of the many reason why I do this blog...trial and error--checking out what looks good or not.

Skirt--Banana Republic (remix)
tights--Merona
shoes--Lela Rose for Payless (remix)
sweater--Banana Republic
belt--Mossimo (remix)
scarf--Mossimo

6 more weeks of winter

This outfit was inspired by a post made by The Bargain Hunter Extraordinaire She wrote: "I learned a long time ago that sometimes when Spring won't come to you; you have to go to it."
and I of course agree with that statement.

However, living in Southern California, we really do not have a winter like the east coast, but cold is still cold in my book and sometimes you just need a bit of sunshine.

This photo was taken at the end of a very long day. Not only did I run a 1/2 marathon yesterday but trying to do a Super Bowl party and go to work the next day can get the wind knocked out of you, so hopefully tomorrow I won't look so tired.
