Random roundup

It's Fri-yay! As they like to say on the interwebs! I have a full weekend ahead of me. My closet room is getting photographed this weekend, but that's a whole other story that I shall save for later! And baseball!!! You guys have no idea how excited I am for baseball season. It's the best time of year. Just saying. OK - well let's get started! As with other random roundups, I am only linking to those pieces that are still available, or if I have a similar item handy!

Blazer: Express | Necklace: Express | Top: Express | Bracelets: Cara, Stella & Dot | Bottoms: Express | Shoes: Louise et Cie

So, this is a modification I made to an outfit I wore on the blog. What I *wanted* to wear is on the left, and what I *actually* wore is on the right. I definitely plan to wear the version on the left in real life also though because I do like it better!

Left: Original post here

I loved the more neutral palette compared to the darker bottoms, but they JUST re-issued the dress code at work. The dress code that no one really abides by, including myself. The only real rule that I break is the part about not wearing any ripped or torn clothing. Yeah, well. How many pairs of distressed skinnies do I own? I will probably be brave and just wear them to the office again, but I figure I'd let people forget about the dress code first :) In the meantime, I switched to olive bottoms and my pink knot tee vs. the white. Similar concept, but just not as soft.

Earrings: Canned Goods (gifted) | Necklace: Tiffany & Co. | Sweater: Halogen | Bottoms: Express (option) | Flats: JCrew Factory

This is definitely one of my favorite Nordstrom Anniversary sale purchases - the sweater! It's a great floral print, not too 80's or 90's, but just right. And these flats are the most comfy ever. I'm happy that JCrew Factory has them again in this blue color. Highly recommend, and have I led you astray before?

Necklace: Tiffany & Co | Jacket: Express (similar) | Top: Bobeau | Bottoms: Express (option) | Shoes: Ash

This was the day I was moving cubes at work. With my new job came a new cube, which I was extra excited about because it made my transition feel a bit more real AND I got a window!! I haven't really talked about it on the blog, but I've spent a small fortune buying things for my cube to make it feel a little more like home. I'll have to take photos and share with you guys!

What's funny about this outfit though is that I had told my old boss I would dress appropriately for the cube change. When he saw me that morning, he insinuated that I was overdressed. Apparently, he was expecting me in sweatpants and a ratty tee shirt. But dang, I'm still a lady!

Bag: Kate Spade | Top: Express | Jacket: ExpressBottoms: American EagleShoes: Pedro Garcia

I actually wore this to shop, which is a big deal for me because I'm wearing heels. But I did this because I knew my feet wouldn't be able to survive long in heels and I really didn't want to spend a lot of money! I know, blasphemy! But this was the day I was returning my defective Chloe for a new one, so I really had no business spending a ton of money! I ended up buying my Cardinals home opener outfit, which you can see on my Instagram here.

Scarf: H&M (gifted) | Jacket: JCrew FactoryDress: Express | Boots: Vince Camuto

First off, I promise my hair did not look like Kate Gosselin's in real life. I almost didn't post this pic because of my hair, but I… yeah, no idea why it looks like this. But let's move on. Striped dresses are always my go to when I'm feeling uninspired or bloaty. It's easy to layer and accessorize and fool people into thinking you actually care what you look like! This was the first time I left the house for the season with bare legs, and it felt GOOD.

That's all I've got for you today! Have a great weekend!

I promised Kellie


Kellie and I had been texting a couple of months back and I happened to tell her about these amazing tortoise pumps I had. They were my very first pair of designer shoes I ever bought, and they fit amazingly out of the box! They are still breathtaking to me even though it's been 5+ years since I've gotten them.

But I don't give them as much attention as they deserve! After I sent Kellie a pic of these, she demanded that I wear them, and I promised they would make an appearance on the blog stat.

Sunnies: Vince Camuto | Earrings: Canned Goods Co (gifted) | Necklace: Kate Spade (option, option) | Bag: Gucci | Top: Express | Bracelet: Nadri | Skirt: The Limited (option) | Shoes: Giuseppe Zanotti (LOVE this option)

Well, when I saw her in Denver, she reminded me that she STILL hadn't seen me wear these beauties on the blog. Now that the weather has warmed up, I have no excuses. Not that I need an excuse to wear these, they're truly gorgeous and despite the fact that I may not wear them to death, I have no plans to get rid of them.

When I walked outside to take photos of this outfit, the husband said, "Awwwww." Because he loved these shoes when I first bought them also and was actively part of the decision making process. If you'd like to take a trip down memory lane, you can read all about these babies here.

Turquoise + midi

Sunnies: Vince Camuto | Earrings: Canned Goods (gifted) | Necklace: CS Gems (Use code CARYLEE15 for 15% off) | Bag: Michael Kors (option) | Jacket: JCrew FactoryTop: Express | Bracelet: JCrew | Skirt: Express | Shoes: Jimmy Choo

This midi skirt is basically the solid black version of my favorite striped pencil skirt midi. When I saw it was available in black, I figured it would be a great staple to have. I decided to mix some casual pieces today, but with a splash of shine with my sandals. This outfit is very travel friendly and came with me to San Antonio this week. Yes, I managed to schedule some posts for you even though I was on vacation. Sometimes I amaze myself!

And yes, this is the second time you're seeing the slub knot tee this week. I almost didn't want to wear them back to back, but I also wanted to show you how versatile they are in case you didn't believe me the first time I told you. :)

A full recap of my trip and my brother's wedding is coming your way next week! Stay tuned!
