What to Wear for Work series

As I read the blogs I follow I thought about another outfit, until I saw this pic of Beyonce.


It reminded me of a skirt I own that I like. So with this as my inspiration, here's what I'm wearing to work today.



Shirt from Lane Bryant


Skirt from Forever 21+


Boots from Lane Bryant via MJR Sales

What are you wearing today?

Something So Satisfying about a Sale (pic heavy)

I found out that MJR Sales (a traveling warehouse store for Victoria Secret, Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug, Chadwicks, and other stores) was in my city on the second day of its five day stay. It has been awesome looking at deals and watching my friends and family take advantage. I even saw the writer of one of my favorite blogs. I blurted out "I read your blog this morning!!!!!!" I was immediately mortified at my rookie, stalker style greeting. She was MORE than gracious. Here's some of the things that caught my eye while I was giddily making a fool of myself.

DIY Principle

My number 1 DIY principle is to make what is simpler and cheaper to make than to buy in a store. That being said I saw these in a fabric store. I paused because they claim to magically keep your pants in your boots. I inspected the package anticipating just that... magic! Instead I found a piece of elastic held together by Velcro. In essence, a rubber band you can open and close.

Total DIY for $3 max. This is being sold for $11.99.
