pinky and the brain

good morning everyone! i'm sluggish today with my first day back to work (and the kids' first day to school). i expect to suffer hazy brain as i fight my way back to being productive. while i hoped that we could slowly ramp back, it seems there are already a few things on my plate (or my desk) waiting for me. boy 1.0 had an early morning practice today, so that quickly put us all back into gear. hopefully, it won't take us long to get back into the routine of things.

in the event you are not shopped out from the holidays, j. crew has another code (thanks alexis) with 30% final sale using code STYLEFIND.





outfit - dress: diane von furstenberg, old; blazer: j. crew lady jacket, here; shoes: christian louboutin wallis pumps, old.

  6. P - that DVF is great! I think it is a really bold choice to pair it with that blazer, but you wear it so well. I could never do that, I am not ballsy enough, haha. You look wonderful!

  11. It was my first day back to work today too. After two weeks off it is tough to get back. The jacket combined with the floral pattern is beautiful. I picked up this jacket last week during the latest extra 30% off sale!

  17. I love the color in this outfit. I'm totally thinking about a white sequin polka dot top (same style as the one you have). Random aside, I have been reading the "Game of Throne" series and book 3 is insane!

  22. Nobody can design a nice feminin dress lika DVF...it's pure perfection.
    The jacket is so lovely, very classic, but the bold color makes it much more fun. You had to brighten up the sad office immediately!
