This was a busy week. Lots of craziness at work and not enough time to get life at home settled. Need to work on that life-balance concept.
But, the month of April tends to be like this each year and somehow by May it is all forgotten.
Onto something that is fun and never a burden - What I Wore Wednesday!

Wednesday, 4/6
Again, I'm still anxiously awaiting warmer temps, so the wool jackets and sweaters are still making appearances. I really loved wearing this outfit. It was well-layered for comfort in fluctuating temps and I think embraced the nautical look I'm still kind of obsessing over.

Pants: Van Heusen

Thursday, 4/7
Went into the office and did lots of prep for a big event this weekend.
I loved this top the second I saw it. I think it will match so many current wardrobe pieces and has a lot of personality. Just loved wearing it. And the jacket is a 'real brown.' No tweed, so it goes with textured pants and, no doubt about it - it's a great neutral that can be worn year-round. Now that's exciting.

Jacket: Gap (thrifted)
Pants: Gap (thrifted)
Shoes: Dr. Scholl's
Earrings: Jewelscapes
Flower Pin: Jcrew

Visited a local community college for the day and celebrated my little cousin's birthday (I love impromptu celebrations). I found this sweater at Marshall's and love it's Anthro-esque look and feel. Plus since it matches so so many items, it will be a great addition to the wardrobe.

Pants: Gap (thrifted)
Shoes: DSW
Earrings: Jewelscapes
Necklace: Lisa Leonard Wish
Saturday, 4/9
A lazy day, but did do some laundry and Target shopping.
This was a very simple outfit, but worked for running around. And (gasp) I went out in public sans makeup. It was shockingly freeing and no one said anything, so I guess it was ok.
Sweater: Free People (thrifted)
Tee: Jcrew
Jeans: Levis
Shoes: Born
Necklace and Earrings: Jewelscapes
Sunday, 4/10
Our admitted student program at work means most professional look possible. The jacket was on a super clearance rack and the saleswoman said it looks better on than one would think. I agree and am in love.
Jacket: Talbots Outlet
Dress: Target
Heels: Clarks
Belt: Jones NY
Necklace: Ralph Lauren
Earrings: Lord and Taylor
Monday, 4/11
A day off (I'm working this upcoming weekend). Had car trouble, drove to the mechanic's (my brother) and the engine light went off and the car was running well. It is only a matter of time until this becomes a little issue again (wires or something), and since it's not serious (so I am assured), it's cheaper to wait for the problem to arise and then take it back. Thus, took a nice hour-long drive. I did have a nice day and created my parents' wedding album on Shutterfly. The highlight of the day was my dad calling just to tell me that he is grateful I'm his daughter and that he loves me. That was pretty amazing.
This sherbet sweater is a new color for me. Think it goes well with the Jcrew shirt I wore on Thursday (Easter look, perhaps?) and hope to wear it a lot this spring and summer.
Top: Macy's (super old)
Sweater: Jcrew Factory
Jeans: Loft (thrifted)
Shoes: Bare Traps (DSW)
Belt: Jcrew Factory
Earrings: Surf and Sand
Necklace: JessLC

This is a stand-by, tried and true outfit for me.
Top and Jacket: Ann Taylor
Pants: Talbots (but a very cheap Marshall's find)
Shoes: Clarks
Necklace: The Rusted Chain

Happy stylin'!
