Just purchased this hot pink, silk BCBG Max Azria blouse recently, didn’t see how I could “work it” effectively so I decided to sell it. Loads of design details on this blouse, CLICK HERE to check it out on EBAY.

My husband got me this cute and comfy, stylish GAP dress for Valentine’s Day. It has pockets. Three words. I LOVE IT.

Aside from my family telling me that I looked like a “christmas ornament” and a “wrapped present” I had fun wearing this outfit on Christmas Day 2009. I thought it was bright, bold and festive! And yes, that is a Christmas bow ornament in my hair. Owning a hot glue gun will make you do some crazy things :)

I wore this outfit out to a couple back to back events in New Orleans on November 27, 2009. The first event I was going to be in a room full of dignitaries (Senators, Congressman, Mayors, City Council people, etc.) The second event was a “Who’s Who” event with more dignitaries and a few more younger, contemporary business people peppering the room. Both events were super nice, but my dilemma was what to wear to both.

I already had the pants from Target which I love because they have front side pockets, side tabs and button flap back pockets ($25) The blazer came from Walmart’s George line, it’s lined and I only paid $15 for it. The blouse I purchased from Love Culture and I just thought it was cute ($17). I’m a huge sucker for a cute top. HUGE. And the back of the top is the cutest. Too bad it was too cold to take my jacket off. The “shooties” I recently purchased and had never worn them out until these events. In other words, they were hardly broken in. BIG MISTAKE. I was out of them and into a pair of ballet flats before I even got to the 2nd event.

Overall, I thought it was a nice, subtle alternative to a stuffy pant suit.

This is my first ever handmade jumpsuit! Yay me! Pretty pleased with how it turned out. Click on over to MY BLOG to see how I put this together and for a few more cool pics :)
