This week I am thankful for much more than my closet

Monday: I'm out of witty titles...
And I kind of think I'm over blogging about my clothes at this point. I think this might be the last week.

Dress: Banana Republic
Shoes: Ann Taylor

Tuesday:

Jacket, Top, and Shoes: Ann Taylor
Belt: J. Crew
Jeans: IT! Jeans

Wednesday:

Cami: Martin & Osa
Cardigan: Caslon

Monday...I'm feel like an overstuffed bird after Thanksgiving!

Dress: Old Navy
Boots: Steve Madden

Tuesday

Sweater and Top: Caslon
Jeans: IT! Jeans
Boots: Franco Sarto

Wednesday: Finding a new outfit each day is getting tricky!
I used to have this friend in elementary school that was obsessed with mix and match clothes. There was some store she shopped at (bonus points to anyone who can tell me the name of the store...I'm at a loss) that sold everything in the same color palette so you could mix everything. That shirt you wore yesterday with those pants? Pair it with the shorts today, the skirt tomorrow. I feel like I'm starting to do that. I'm pretty sure just about everything in my closet (well, everything I like anyway) has been worn at least once this year, but I'm running out of ideas. Help!

Sweater: Caslon
Top and Belt: J. Crew
Skirt and Shoes: Ann Taylor

Friday: I would pay big money to get to wear jeans every day

Sweater: American Eagle
Tank: Victoria's Secret

Monday: Thank God for Power Outages!

Tuesday: My best Margot Tenenbaum Impression...at least the hair and makeup

I wish I had a polo dress! Bummer! My flat iron and I became very well acquainted this morning. I hate to say it, but I kind of like my hair like this. Hmm...

I made the mistake of eating a coney dog in the car the other day. For those who don't know about my mad coney eating skills, I'm usually superb! Unfortunately, the dog won this time and I got mustard all of over my favorite jeans. Positive: I got to shop. Negative: I got to shop.

Summer Needs a Last Hurrah

I am beyond freezing these days. I can't figure out how to get my gas fireplace to work (where's a good man when you need one?), and my poor little toes are cold because of the fact that I refuse to wear socks...ever. But the one benefit of cold temperatures is that more of my fall and winter clothing emerge from their hiding places.

Fall is definitely in the air, especially in the early mornings as we head to school. Dressing at this time of year is always a little tricky because I never know what temperature my classroom will be. Will it feel like the Arctic Circle or the Sahara Desert?

Jeans: It! Jeans

Shoes: Good ol' bedazzled from Target

I'm declaring next week The Gray and Black Challenge. I've decided to wear some variation on gray and black every day. I'm actually wondering if anyone will notice. Stay tuned to see what happens :)

A Week of (not so) Thrilling Outfits

This week was Homecoming Week...or, in other words, an excuse to wear jeans and tennis shoes several days in a row. I love being comfortable, but I'll admit that I missed my heels and sassy outfits.

Monday: College Shirt Day - Go right through for MSU

Thursday: Red & Black Day

Sweater & Cami: Banana Republic

Jeans: It!

Boots: Nine West

What should I wear to chaperone Homecoming?

I have issues (what's new?). The entire reason I look forward to chaperoning Homecoming every year is because it gives me an opportunity to dig through my AMAZING sister's closet to find the perfect dress. Katie - aka, the most incredibly gorgeous, generous, and kind sister on earth - brought me five options this year. Vote for your favorite in the comments or on Facebook.

Option #1: Black Strapless from White House/Black Market with my "Rock Tumbler" Shoes

Option #2: Floral Strapless with Pockets <3 from Von Maur

Option #3: Embellished Top from Anthropologie

Option #4: Patterned Strapless from White House/Black Market

Option #5: Navy Blue Lacy from Ann Taylor

Which one should I wear? Help! 

Coming to you in HD...

Monday: The Matrix Reloaded
One of my classes decided that I looked like I belonged in The Matrix today. I found that hilarious, as did they...until I started pretending I was in the movie for the next 5 minutes. Then it just got irritating.

Dress: Banana Republic

Shoes: Ann Taylor

Necklace: J. Crew

Hot Damn! It's the Holy Trinity of my closet!

It's 85 degrees out. I miss fall. (Smack me in a week when I complain about it being cold.)

I am always willing to pay $5 to wear jeans and today's Jeans Day was for a great cause - Ovarian Cancer awareness.

Shoes: Target...I love being cheap :)

Friday: Jeans? Twice in one week? Really? How can I be so lucky?
