Let's Hear it for the Weekends!

I hope you have all enjoyed your weekend. This was my first weekend off in what seems like forever and I made sure to soak up some sun, enjoy my Nook (reading Eat, Pray, Love), and caught up on a little closet organizing!

I have always loved this ombre skirt but have been bad at coming up with new ways to wear it. Because it is linen, it wrinkles quickly and has a laidback feel so I thought I would play that up with a nuetral motif. I ended up liking the nuetral feel so much that I ditched the pop of color in the coral necklace and wore large gold earrings instead. I picked up these shoes at Macy's during the F & F promo before I left. For me, they are the perfect "tiptoe in" to the gladiator trend.

Here is the Polyvore for this outfit:

It's Friday......Ombre!

Two posts in one morning, yay I am all caught up!Macy's is getting ready to enforce a dark dress code so I have to take advantage of being able to wear my "light" clothing. With another bout of rain on the way, I thought I'd break all the winter rules and go light with my J Crew ombre linen pencil  skirt and a white blouse. As I look at the photo, I realize it is funny how pale my legs have gotten this winter. I promise they aren't quite so white IRL!

After work I get to go decorate for our church's Christmas party. I ended up being in charge of all the centerpieces but I could pretend to complain but I actually LOVE that stuff! Then tomorrow after work, it is party time....whoop....whoop! Anybody have any great Christmas parties coming up?
