...work...

A while back I posted about these new cute earrings I got and an outfit I wore to work. Since then I've taken a few pictures of my work outfits to try and get a post together to show you more work outfits. I haven't been good at keeping up with the pictures but just the other day Matt was looking through my pictures and said, "Why do you take pictures at work and I don't get any of them?!" LOL I had to explain what my plan was and then I figured I should hurry and put that blog together. So here it is.

I actually just got a management position at work so I'll be shopping for "better" work clothes soon. Hopefully this week. I was trying to talk my mom into taking me work shopping to get me a "promotion gift". That conversation didn't end the way I wanted it to. But I'm hoping I'll be able to go sometime this week.

I have the hardest time finding the right rousers. I use to just buy random ones from wherever. Then I realized that I was wasting money on them because they'd either rip at the seams (don't even say it was cuz I was gaining weight! LOL) or they'd just start to fit weird. I was told that was because I wasn't buying quality trousers. So what did I do?!?! I went to GAP. I neeeever shop there because of course it's too much for me AND the styles in there just aren't really for me. I ended up spending $120 on two pairs that I THOUGHT were really cute. Um. That's a negative because about a few weeks later I was over both of them. One of them... the seams ripped at the bottom and they were EXTRA long and annoying. The other pair, I like but they're just kinda weird around my waist. I wear it sometimes but I usually wear a blazer with it to cover most of my waist. Anyways, so I'm back to square one. Anyone have suggestions?!? Cuz I'm tired of wearing the same skirts and one pair of pants with different shirts.

If and when I do go shopping for more work outfits... I'm steering away from the pants and possibly just stick to dresses with cardigans. That's what I'm thinking right now anyway.

This is from a magazine... 

kinda what I'm going for now days...

...here's a skirt I got at H&M when I was in Vegas for Rihanna...

...this one was when I first wore one of the expensive trousers...

it was also when I dyed my hair black and NO ONE saw it LOL

...this one is aight...the vest makes me look VERY business-like...

...this one is with a blue & black plaid skirt...

it was probably in my closet for two months until I actually wore it...

...ivory top + brownish/grey skirt...

I'm sure there are toooons of people with cuter outfits but I figured this could be fun post. I'll try to do another post with new outfits but that probably won't be for a while.

My girl Cass has a blog that I LOVE and she had a post about a week ago asking for suggestions on what to wear to my brothers farewell. You can read about it here and see the cute dresses she got. Just the look I'm going for next time I'm going shopping.
