Is it Monday or Tuesday?? Hope everyone had a great 3-day weekend! The extra day on the weekend is JUST what I needed for a fresh start to the work week. And since I am in a slightly better mood than usual, I thought I'd have some fun to my usual office outfit. I would normally wear a collar button up or sweater with a feminine pleated skirt like this, but T's are just so much more exciting! 

The key to mixing casual with dressy is selecting a fitted top so that it can easily be tucked in without any bulge. A nice colorful or vivid color print brings a simple skirt or bottom together amazingly! To add more glam to the look, a handbag with a pop of color is the way to go. Accessories are everything!! The Milly crossbody bag I've got here is one of my new favorite items. I'm more on the conservative side when it comes to colors but I am not afraid to rock this neon beaut! 

I'd love to see how you fashionistas wear your T-shirts to work or on a night out. Please share!

Till next time :-) 

MERCI MERCI MERCI

We have been having surprisingly warm weather here in the East Bay this winter! MERCI for another beautiful day! This morning I did a short run with family and a friend, relaxed and ended up at this cute little shopping plaza. Great way to end my weekend.

This is the last day before back to work...I got tired of wearing flats the past week so decided to pair my casual wear with my fav ankle strap heels; the Tibi Amber sandal. They are super stylish and the highlight for me is the opening to swap ankle straps! If you call Tibi, they'll sell you a package of three double straps for $99. That's like having four different pair of sandals! ;-) This pair is now sold out but the new Amber sandals are due to come out by the end of January.

 Moving on to the top...I'm obsessed with the J.Crew text graphic linen tees! I couldn't resist this Merci Tee and got in both colors. Just don't tell my mom and bestie! With all the discounts, they were pretty much 2 for the price of one! What other choice did I have?? :-) I am a happy camper.

HOLA, BON JOUR, HELLO...

I have been enjoying my holiday 'staycation'! I've been able to spend tons of quality time with my bed, friends and family :-) I've been over my moms the past few days and last night literally watched half a season of The White Queen!! 

I love that I've been able to break out my more casual wear with being off from work. I thought this Hello Tee was fun, I had to pick it up. With all of the holiday sales, getting this marked down plus an addition 30% off doesn't hurt. Pick up fast, still in stores! My go to shirt/light shirt jacket is the J.Crew Western Denim top. It goes well with anything and fits comfortably! Don't worry about matching denim top and bottoms, for me the more contrast the better! Ciao lovelies!
