Almost Birthday: C's Outfit Formula

Oh hello, friends. Before we get into what I've been wearing and how much I hate taking pictures of myself, I'd like to introduce you to the beautiful bathroom in my office. Please enjoy the view of the tampon dispenser in the background. I know, it's awesome.

I work in a very casual office. I understand some of you are looking at this and thinking... you do what for a living? Look, accounting wears velour matching tracksuits- this is fancy. Let it go.

On to the outfits.

I have an obsession with J.crew. It happens. After reading fashion blogs for a while, I've realized I'm not the only one.

ONE. Sweater: Talbots Clearance Outlet, Necklace & Jeans: J.Crew retail, Button down: J.Crew factory, Shoes: ZiGiny via Amazon.com.

TWO. Sweater: J.Crew factory, Jeans: J.Crew retail, Boots: Cole Haan via Rue La La, Scarf: H&M, Sock: Target

THREE: Shirt: H&M, Scarf: Gap Men's, Cords: H&M, Booties: Nine West factory,

Interchange sweaters, jeans and a long necklace or scarf, and this is pretty much what I'm wearing every single day.

Do you have a formula you can use to get dressed in your sleep? I guess the "must wear 3 pieces at all times" mantra from working at J.Crew has stuck with me over the years.

TOMORROW IS MY BIRTHDAY so I need to go shopping to find something fancy schmancy to wear to dinner tomorrow night with the boyf. I'm thinking of going to Zara on my lunch- any other suggestions for cheap/cute/possibly warm birthday dresses? Does anyone else buy a dress for their birthday? No? Okay.

Baby’s first blog post

I’m not that great at writing. I’m not that great at being creative. I am, however, really exceptional at missing my best friend. You know that type of friend where you could not talk for a month, but then have a phone call that makes your phone die it lasts so long? A friend, that no matter what, understands your heart of hearts and you simply don’t have to explain why that biddy deserved that slew of fantastical and inventive cuss words? That.

Exactly that.

So, why a blog? Why not a weekly scheduled phone call, or a handwritten note? Because after reading fashion/lifestyle blogs for about a year now, my best friend, my youmeus, has somehow convinced me I can do it too. There is nothing more intimidating than something new- so why not have your sister and confidant by your side?

Stay tuned for what will most likely be some serious missteps, which will lead to hilarity. Enjoy.
