Chambray Can Mean Business Too

Hi there!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Mine consisted of Monster Jam (aka Monster Trucks) with my husband, father-in-law, and a couple of friends & a food truck festival with my mom and sister & coffee with two awesome girlfriends & a 9 mile run & and a chili cookoff at church. Whew! ;)

Like I said Friday, this is my last week at work where I'm allowed to wear jeans. Boo! :P I am having fun experimenting new "office appropriate" ways to wear some of my older clothes, such as this chambray top and striped blazer--both of which have been shown on Katie's Style Project plenty of times!

Chambray top Charlotte Russe // Blazer Target // Pants Zara ($19.99) // Watch Vernier (Amazon) // Heels Tahari (DSW) // Necklace Forever 21 ($12.80)

One of the best things about chambray tops is that, just like jeans, they go with any color! I felt a bit patriotic wearing red, white and blue. :)

I put the blazer on top to take the look from casual to business casual.

Cropped pants with nude heels help elongate legs!

ACTION SHOT! Ready to kick Monday's booty! ;)

It's the last week of January already!! I hope yours is a good one. :)

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Love, Buns, and Polka Dots

Hi there!

I hope you had a fabulous weekend!

I wore this outfit to have dinner with Michael and a couple of our friends. Sweet friends and homemade mac and cheese? It doesn't get much better! :)

 

Chambray Top and Boots Charlotte Russe ($15 and $7.50, Summer 2013) // Skirt and Necklace Forever 21 ($6.80 and $12.80, Winter 2013)

I got this skirt a couple of weeks ago from Forever 21 for only $6.80! It wasn't even on sale. What a steal! I also picked up this necklace from Forever 21 that I am completely obsessed with. I love that it is colorful, but is also versatile enough to wear with so many different outfits! I have been shopping for accessories from Forever 21 for what feels like. . .well, forever! They always have a great collection of trendy jewelry at an affordable price.

It's only January 5. . .can you believe it's warm enough outside to be wearing this?

I hope you have a great week! Not gonna lie, the holidays were making me pretty used to having only a 4 day work week. Oh well, back to the normal routine!

Thanks for reading! :)

This is My "I Have to Work on New Years Eve" Outfit

Hello, sweet friends! Happy New Year!

I love New Years! I love the idea of starting a fresh,  new year full of endless possibilities! For me, the New Year brings feelings of ambition and motivation to reach my dreams--some new and some old! I can't wait to see what this year brings. Did you make any New Years resolutions? What are they?

If you know me well (and OK, if you know me not-so-well), you know that girlfran over here loves some sequins. The Holiday Season seems to be the only time that sequins are generally accepted to be worn out in public if you're between the ages of 10 and 65, so I wanted to make sure I ended the season with some major sparkle! Since I had to work on New Years Eve, I combined my gliz and glam with some clothing appropriate to wear to the office.

Chambray Top Charlotte Russe (Summer 2013, $15) // Red Sequined Top Wet Seal (Old) // Blazer Target (Winter 2013) // Jeans American Eagle // Boots Target (Fall 2013, 20% off)

No need to accessorize when you're wearing an entire shirt full of shine.

I hope this 2014 brings you an abundance of love and laughter!

Thank you so much for reading!
