My Not So Secret Addiction

I didn't even realize I was wearing pretty much head to toe J. Crew until I started doing this post. I noticed I had been buying a lot more in the last few years, but didn't realize how much of a collection I had amassed. Those constant 40% sales just KILL me {in a good way.}

So yeah. I have been a bad blogger. Very very very bad. If you follow me on Instagram {hint hint} you'd see my shameless selfies in front of the fake wood are still abundant. I'm moving on to a bigger position in my company and just haven't had much time any more-- but its a great change! I'm trying to get back on blogging bandwagon, so hopefully you'll forgive me.

Anchors Away

Like tutus, gold chains and cutoff shorts, striped tops are one of those things I constantly accumulate whether I need them or not {though in my head, I ALWAYS do.} I like that this one is just cropped enough so it works with a high waisted skirt, but not so much that I'll be at risk of creating a scandal at work.

Spots and Stripes

While I do absolutely love how in fashion wearing sneakers with everything is, I'm not actually doing it for that reason. I'm still trying to baby my foot {or bone??? not sure yet...) so for now sneakers are the only things that are working. Thank goodness I've been stocking up throughout the year. I may need to get some 'fancy' metallic ones for important meetings though {only half kidding.}

Match Point

Its not just tennis style sweaters {hello Rag & Bone Talia sweater....} that I'm obessed with-- aparently its all tennis inspired apparel, from head to toe! I'd even been looking for a white drop-waist pleated dress {yes, I really do get that specific} so I was pleasantly surprised to see this ON SALE at J. Crew for under $100. The pleats don't hold as perfectly as I'd like, but still well worth it. Now just to get over my fear of wearing white and spilling on myself...

Carnival Colors

I can't even remember the last time I was at a carnival or circus, but for some reason this skirt makes me think of a circus tent...but in a good way of course! As far as my tulle skirts go, this is one of the more subtle ones {well, in terms of poufiness and tulle, not the colors obviously!} Really, Asos can do no wrong...

Drop it Like its Hot

I was going to title this 'Desk to Drinks' but where is the fun in that? Yes, I am going from work straight to an industry cocktail event, but why pass up an homage to Snoop Dogg? Exactly. I go through phases where I ether love or hate drop waist dresses, and lately I'm all about them. Especially with the warmer temperatures I'm loving the way they still have a little shape, but don't restrict. Plus, I can kind of do a shimmy since there are pleats {obviously not at work!}

Paint Party

As I may have mentioned, oh maybe a thousand times, I've been obsessed with the Tibi splatter skirt  for ages {ok since last year.} Of course, I figured I shouldn't spend the money blah blah blah and figured I could find on ebay, but no. It is gone. Forever? Hopefully not, but it feels like that. I've been suffering from a severe case of non-buyers remorse, if you will.

 All hope is not lost though-- I snagged this version when Tibi had a sample sale going on and do adore it. I will still climb mountains {or at least sale racks} to find the original, but this version still makes me very happy.
