Perfect Denim Vest

I bought this cute sundress the other day at Joyce Leslie... 

the only problem is that we're not allowed to wear tank tops to work.

i know, i have a gazillion cardys i could wear, but is it just me or do you feel like a black cardigan wouldn't match with this dress?

and then i had a brilliant thought.

a denim vest.

and the search was on!

first stop, forever 21.

unfortunately the only thing i could find there was one that looked like it had gone thru a paper shredder. and being that "ripped" clothes are on the don't list for work attire, that option wasn't going to work for me.

second stop, my fav (and yours too) Tar-Jay

i don't know what it was, but something about this one just wasn't what i was picturing.

and by the way, it looks actually much better in this picture than it did in real life.

so onto the third stop.

because we all know when you get something like this in your head,

you're totally on a mission til you find what you're looking for.

Google Shopping

and BAM.

of all places, JC Penny... and $15 on sale?

Walk Run your ass to the store Shay and find that puppy!

The final look?

Perfect for work!

Quickie...

NO... not THAT kind of quickie... get your minds outta the gutter! hehehe...

just a quickie post today showing ya's my new f21 pretty!

i'm in LOVE with this top and especially the color.

(please excuse the poor iphone photo from 7am this morning!)

i have a client meeting today, but since our office is super casual i decided to dress up just a little...

i also convinced G to take me to dinner at our FAVORIT-O mexican joint tonight so this top will be perfect for date night as well!

i paired the top with black skinnies and super high grey suede heels that i can barely walk in, and a handmade necklace one of my co-workers made for me a while back...

Hope you all enjoy your weekends... i'm headed to the Jets game on Sunday with G, my dad and my brother... GO JETS!

OOTD: Easter Edition

Hope everyone had a "hoppy" easter! Mine was kind of laid back... church and then brunch with the fam. It was a buffet and i've decided i'm possibly the worst person to take to an all you can eat buffet. Mainly because I was full after my first plate. LOL. But, being a trooper and wanting to get my $40 worth (yup, the rents made me pay my own way, something about being an independent woman with a better job than them?) I managed to get my fat a$$ up there not one, not two but THREE times!

Anyway, being that my dress from this post had just come in the mail, i figured i'd share my Outfit Of The Day. Minus it being 90 degrees out, and me sweating my tooshy off, i thought i looked pretty fly... ok ok, maybe not fly per se... but not completely unfortunate looking. :)

dress: anthropologie, shoes: steve madden, belt: from a shirt i got at a boutique in virginia, ring: Brandy Pham, pearl necklace: gift

(don'cha love scoo chowing down in the background of the pic? hehe...)

What did you do for Easter? Egg hunts? Easter baskets?
