Work & Play

I had to go into the office today for a client meeting, but I also had my first golf lesson too :)
I am so happy, in my line of work practically everyone I know golfs, so I at least want to learn the lingo...I'm not going to pretend I'm any good but at least I can talk about it and hopefully some more customers will open up to conversation.

Full Price

I buy a lot of my clothes at discount, but there are times when I buy full price (on purpose) like this black lace top from White House/Black Market, I've been wanting a lace top since forever and when I saw this advertised, I didn't hesitate. Other times I buy a full price because of necessity or urgency.

The dress that I'm wearing today, I purchased full price 6 years ago. 90% of my clothes are work wear so I really didn't have anything in my closet for Hawaii and felt I needed a dress in case we went out--Banana Republic is one of my go to stores (fit and my kind of style) I went straight to the store purchased this dress, and packed it away for my trip.

One of the reason I never worn it again, is because I was a lot bigger 6 years ago.. so I sort of stretched it out, originally this dress hit me at the knee and fully covered my upper half. Since I paid full price, giving it away to a local thrift store broke my heart, so I've had it in my closet all this time even though it didn't fit like it once did.

I added a Cami, put a waist coat on and now you can't tell I stretched it out many years ago. I'm so proud of me! I was able to save this dress :)

My Mom

As I get older every day, I look in the mirror each morning and see my mom in me. I've never seen it before and obviously you guys don't know her or what she looks like, but she is blond with fair skin.

I have always seen the olive skin and dark hair that stares back at me every day for many years from my father side but I have never been able to see my mother's features in me until recently and it sort of caught me by surprise.

I have her body type, features, attitude and personality and for some reason it made me wonder what my own kids would look like. Not sure why I'm writing about this, but checking myself out in the mirror has open my eyes to much more than what I'm wearing.

fall splurge

I am so excited for fall, I love tights especially ones with designs; full price these are $9.00/ea. I didn't mind spending the money because I've purchased some in the past at Dept. stores as much as $26.00/ea so $9.00/ea was a steal for me. I got one of every color. I'm so happy to add them to my collection and I can't wait to wear them come fall.

Today's heat in So. California hit 101 degrees so unfortunately I had to take the jacket off most of the day. One of my customers gave me a nice compliment today and that made my day :) I don't look for compliments all the time, but its sure nice to get one, once in a while.

Hope your having a fabulous day :)

For some reason I feel like a waiter in this outfit. I originally was going to wear a black skirt or black pant, but then I REALLY felt like a waiter. I was excited I was able to fit into this shirt again. I was ready to donate it because its a size smaller than what I usually buy...so happy I can keep it...you can never have enough white shirts IMO.

Happy Blogging!

The little girl in me

I have been on the look out for a cheetah print sweater and I found this one at Charlotte Russe, I'm not digging the sweater, I think it looks young on me. I do like the lace detail, but not so much everything else. I did spot one at Macy's the other day, maybe I'll go back and get it :)

This is my niece, she loves going into my closet and play dress up. She wanted to take home this scarf and 3 of my OPI nail polishes, I told her only if she posed for me :)
