Peg Bundy Goes Corporate

Haha...no?
Ok...well...when I found this tight leopard top, 
Peg Bundy is exactly who I thought of.
Of course, I had to make sure I was dressed like a lady. 
Mama raised me right. :)

I'm really diggin' the whole animal print thing. I mean...I was all about it in the 90's too...don't get me wrong. Buuuut..I was also into plastic, shiny tube tops, so I can't exactly trust my instincts. 
Hope you all had a great Thursday!

Chance of Rain- 0%

Oh, I LOVE rainy days.....well...days that look like they'll be rainy! Today was cloudy and chilly. YAY! I donned myself in gray, charcoal and black and had a lot of fun doing it. :)
I hope this weather continues...but if I know California...I'll be seeing sunshine in no time. 
Booooo :(!!!!

Wrapped with Love

 On my last day working at the preschool, my favorite girls gave me a going away present. It was this scarf. Isn't it GORGEOUS? It's so soft and snuggly! I was so excited it was chilly enough to wear it today. :)
Thank you Yoshihara Family for keeping 
Miss Dawnya in style!
I miss you!

Sleepwear

Here's a little something about me...
I nap every single workday. 
I clock out for lunch, walk out to my car, lean my seat all the way back and start snoozin'!
I LOVE it! When my alarm goes off to go back to work, 
I always feel like a new person. 
When I put this outfit together, I was thinking about my nap. I wanted to wear something reeeeally comfy and cozy. 
And here's a secret in case you didn't know....skinny jeans are SO COMFORTABLE! I could seriously wear them every single day if I didn't have a blog to keep up. :)
Is it weird that the first thing I think about when I wake up is my nap later? 
I didn't think so either.

REALLY exciting post...no, it's not.

Aaaaand that's all I got. 
I am super tired.
And for the few of you who know about the week I've had...
let's just be happy I'm even sane enough to type right now.
The GOOD news is tomorrow is FRIIIDAAAAY!  

Ok..here is my "Mad Men"-ish outfit 
(according to co-workers).

Wait...what day is tomorrow?..... It's FRIIIEEEDAY!

Coffee Crazy!

I had all my ducks in a row this morning. 
I woke up on time. 
I already knew what I was wearing. 
Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary happened. 
Yet...I STILL managed to run late!
My morning consisted of moments like these:
"Hmmm...which bracelets will look the best?" 
"I'll go with these earrings....wait..no...
maybe THESE earrings."
"I really love my new curling iron."
"Ugh...I really need to get my roots done."
"I wonder how much longer before I need to leave for work." 
"OMG! It's 7:27 ?!?!?!?!? I HAVE TO GO!!!!"
Sound familiar?
I did NOT want to NOT take my blog pics so I took a couple in my backyard and then flew out the door!

Haha...and here is a peek into my commute this morning...
But then I was SAD when I looked at the time!
I neeeeed my Starbucks!!! What to do?!?!? 

I KNOW!!!!

While driving....(gasp!)... I CAREFULLY texted my dearest buddy Jenny to see if perhaps she might be making a Starbucks stop herself...
SUCCESS!

The moral of THIS story is it's okay to text while driving as long as it's really important. 

Ok...no...pretend I didn't say that. 

I don't have a moral to this story. I'm just thrilled that I have great friends like Jenny who I can count on in a caffeine emergency!

A little romance...

Nope....not what you think. 
I'm talking about today's outfit. :) 
There's something about lace that exudes romance and today's top is no exception. My dear friend Jenny gifted this lacy black top to me a couple weeks ago and I fell in love with it!
I decided to hike up this ivory beaded skirt (normally knee-length) to make it a tad shorter. I used the tie on the top to hold the skirt up. After adding the tights and shoes, I was pretty happy with the overall look. 
It's not my usual outfit which is all part of the fun!
It may not have been a "romantic" day at work....
but I looked that part and that's all that matters. :)

Summer Encore

 Since complaining about the heat hasn't made it go away, I decided to embrace it and just dress for summer. 
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em I guess. 
I thrifted this Ann Taylor dress on my last Vegas trip. I LOVE the colors and the bold print! I also can't wait until the cold weather gets here so I can remix this dress with boots and tights. Fun fun fun!
Have a great weekend!
