| This white button up shirt is my best friend, my soulmate. I wear it with just about everything. Now that it's "winter" (in the 80's here today, however), it was time to add a little dimension to my work dresses. Throwing this white top under my dresses make it feel like an entirely new garment! Not to mention, these colors are quite perfect for the holiday season. Dress: H&M Shirt: H&M Necklace: Express Watch: Michael Kors |

| Even in the summer, I'm a huge fan of layering. It spices up plain sweaters, button-ups, t-shirts, etc. It's the perfect way to make a piece you wear all the time look completely new and different. I love this chambray shirt and honestly, I probably wear it too often. This striped t-shirt (Target - little girl's section...seriously) has some details of it's own but takes on a whole new life over the denim. I paired these layered tops with these fun watermelon Gap trousers, Target nude patent leather flats, a sock bun and this polka dot makeup bag-turned-clutch from Forever 21. |

| Finally - a new pair of hammer pants! That is a cause for celebration in my world. These pants (from Forever 21) were only $15 and are so fun! I paired these comfy pants with a tan knitted top (H&M) and Aldo patent leather nude heels. I spiced up this ensemble with a fun ring from Forever 21, a long gold necklace from Ann Taylor and an assortment of fun gold bracelets for a little arm candy action. Yes, it's true that by 1 pm my feet were blistered and in pain...but they looked good. Mind over matter, honey...mind.over.matter. |

| Who says conservative can't be cute? This new top from J.Crew is the perfect amount of non-flashy and leopard. Topped with a vintage-looking chunky J.Crew necklace, Joe's Jeans and some Dolce Vita loafers and I had myself a nice little Monday work outfit. I've been rocking the necklace over a collared top for a bit now but this pop of color/shirt combo is my new fave.

| This new teal dress from H&M (only $20!) is one of my new faves. In real life, this garment is actually a little emerald green than in this photo. Emerald green happens to be my favorite color...enough said. Since this satin dress is a solid, I was happy to pair it with some neutral color snakeskin t-strap heels and flashy jewelry. |

| What's the most genius fashion idea ever? Let me tell you, honey. Adding jewels to sweatshirts? Brilliant!! H&M is where I go to find funky pieces that I won't love for eternity but are perfect for right now. This sweatshirt was the perfect top to wear on a casual jeans friday to look cute but not be uncomfortable. Find this sweatshirt at H&M for $10. Stealing and dealing. |

| After an (at the time) irrational tulle dress purchase back in college, I was bound and determined to find another time and place to sport this gem. So, I did what I always do. I wait until right before I am going to go to bed and I just stand inside my closet, looking around. This yellow blazer (H&M) just made sense. To keep it work appropriate, I didn't go for my tallest heels. Instead, I opted for these patent leather Franco Sarto dolls. To top it off, I did my fun bun. For accessories, I chose my hot pink ostrich clutch and my blinging studs. Ballerina or boss lady? Who said you have to pick one? |

| Chevron is all the rage right now so obviously I will have to partake in the fun. I feel extra sunny as a blonde when I wear yellow, which I love. Paired with another fun color, like my H&M ($10) cobalt blue pants here, is a perfect summer work look. Add some fun arm party (here the common theme is gold) and you've got yourself an outfit. I kept the heels neutral (Jessica Simpson) so there wasn't any distraction. I did, however, slab on a hot pink lipstick (complements of Urban Decay). The clutch brings it all together (Banana Republic circa 2007). |
 |
| A rushed morning turned out to create one of my favorite outfits so far this year. Pairing my favorite leathery peplum top (Off 5th) with my funky fresh graphic pants (Forever 21) turned out to be a great decision. I topped off the outfit with this fun necklace from H&M and these Kelsey Dagger leather gladiator heels. Love love love. |

| While I may be quite the girly girl, I must admit...I love skulls. I don't know what it is about them...but I dig them. With that said, I couldn't pass up this black studded skull tank I found (TJ Maxx - $12.99). Lord knows I'll be over skulls by next year so no need to break the bank on the top. Paired with a blazer, mustard jeans and some wedge heels, I was able to wear this to work. Never mind that a coworker asked me if I was into biking (motorcycles) this week. Skull on, my darlings. |

| Safari...office...same thing. I have been scouting for army green pants for months and finally found the perfect pair. Could it get better? Yes. They were all of $15 from H&M. They were basically GIVING them away. What's even better? They are high waisted. My dream come true. I decided to add some animal flair to the pants with a fun leopard print belt, plenty of foxy bracelets. In addition, the necklace has a tribal vibe to it.

| A fabulous $17.95 army green maxi skirt purchase this weekend brought on flashes of outfit possibilities. But, as always, my first thought is always "How can I make this piece appropriate for work?" So...that's what I've done here...made a maxi skirt work-friendly. I've matched the skirt with staple pieces most gals have in their closet: basic white button up, platform wedges and a bold necklace. Since you are going solids on top and bottom, spicing up your look with bold jewelry is an absolute must. |
