I’m wearing gray again today, however – I have paired it with my statement pops of color. This bright orange purse seems a perfect match for the crisp Fall weather and my cardigan keeps me cozy through a long work day.
TIP: Details like these cardigan studs and blouse v-neck pleats are great little tricks to bring attention up to the face and neck area.

Who says you can’t give a little pizzazz to a tee shirt and jeans day? This was such an easy and comfortable outfit - with just a little bling to mix things up.
I recently made a stop at The Limited where they were having a phenomenal sale. I purchased my favorite skirt of the moment (I accidentally titled it from the Loft in my last post, but it really is from The Limited!) as well as this studded shoulder tee. The skirt was $13 and this tee was $4. SERIOUSLY?!?! Yes. Believe it. The fabrics are so great and both items are machine washable. I hadn’t been to The Limited in years, but I am now converted.

Yep, I’m a little dressy dressed for work today, but trust me I was SO comfortable! It was like I was wearing my silk pajamas and the only thing I was missing was a fuzzy pair of slippers (good thing I had my flip flops under my desk!).
One tip to beware when wearing a standout pattern is to think about accessories. I brought my new Betseyville bag as well as my zebra print umbrella to work today and it was somewhat print crazy until I got to put those extra accessories down!!
Yay for bare legs! I’m still feeling “springy” and am loving the little bit of warmer weather we’ve experienced recently here in Cincinnati.
I felt a bit more overdone today than normal – tie top, stud detailing, belt, ruffle & polka dots on the shoes, etc.. it was a lot of “stuff” for me, but I decided to go with it and I ended up really liking the mix.

So yesterday is finally past and I was able to get up on the right side of the bed this morning.
It also helped to listen to “Bright Side of the Road” by Van Morrison and “Say Hey I Love You” by Michael Franti & Spearhead. Seriously – I couldn’t help but smile and do a little jig :)
Now my focus is to keep myself more active and busy outside of work. That always helps me from getting overwhelmed about work and will keeps me energized and motivated overall.
I’d like to get out and visit some of the extended Cincinnati area museums, parks, restaurants, shops, etc…
Any recommendations? send them my way!
