This is a pretty standard warm weather work outfit for me. Whenever it’s warm out and I can’t decide what to wear, I reach for a top, pencil skirt, and blazer! It’s flattering on me, easy, and always looks pulled together.

And as evidenced by this outfit, I love me some Ann Taylor! They have some awesome work clothes.

Time for my very first fashion post! I was in a good mood after an early morning workout and decided to actually put some effort into today’s outfit.

Blazer: Banana Republic
Skirt: Express
Top: Banana Republic
Heels: Purchased in China this past May
Belt: Vintage (my mom’s from the 80′s!)
Necklace: Vintage (from a thrift shop)
Bracelet: Forever 21

From What Should We Call Me:
How true is this?! There’s something about going home to my parents’ house that just makes me want to eat! And here’s some of the terrible stuff I’ve been eating:

Tangy buffalo wing Doritos

Those make my mouth burn! And…

Dark chocolate acai with blueberry

These are delicious and probably aren’t actually that bad for you… in moderation. Maybe not so much when you eat about an eighth of the huge bag at a time. Whoops!

I think one of the other things that triggers my desire to eat, eat, eat at my parents’ house is the fact that they don’t have much health food. I eat peanut butter pretty much every day, but all they have is Skippy, which I refuse to touch because of all the added sugar. No thanks!

Another thing I always do when at my parents’ house is go shopping! Having a car there and two nice malls within thirty minutes just makes it too easy to spend my money. Anyway, my sister and I went shoe shopping today! I really need a comfy pair of flats I can walk in for my commute to and from work. I considered this pair found at Lord & Taylor:

Tahari Valerie flats

How hideous is their carpet?! Horrible carpets seem like a prerequisite of all department stores. Anyway, I also found this pair at DSW (sorry for the washed out feet!):

Tahari Villa flats

Both were cute and on sale for around $50, which I thought was reasonable. But I just didn’t love either of them. The first were really comfortable, but I wasn’t crazy about the huge flower embellishment on them. The second had a patent strip at the back, right at the heel, which made them a little stiffer. They seemed like they’d require some breaking in, which I hate. So sadly, passed on both. I’ll have to keep looking!
