Back to work on Cyber Monday

Oh, the long weekend was lovely, but back to work I went on Monday. Since I'm not one to wrestle with a crowd, I bowed out of Black Friday this year, as I did last year and will probably do next year. I don't wanna get my ass pepper sprayed, though the reality of my clumsiness tells me if I ever have an incident with pepper spray it will probably happen something like this:

So I spent most of yesterday web surfing the crazy deals instead of working and of course found a bunch of items that had to find their way to my closet post haste. Including cigarrette pants! Which I have never tried but I love the retro, Audrey Hepburn-esqe look of. So look for those in an upcoming daily outfit.  


*Fyi, it looks like both Lane Bryant and Fashion Bug have extended their 50% and 40% sales until tonight. And One Stop Plus is going with 'cyber week', with a 25% discount and free shipping.*


Yesterdays outfit was partially previously mentioned in this review post for the Forever 21 rust colored dress. I paired it with an dark greenish blue cardigan from Target with 3/4 sleeves and what may become some of my favorite shoes ever! I've been searching for green shoes that were stylish, work appropriate and comfortable and having the hardest time(Google 'green heels' sometime and you'll see some real monstrosities, trust) until I found these 'South Role' pair from Aerosoles, purchased via Amazon. The jewelry is from Forever 21.

 Makeup close ups: I chose a subtle wash of green shadow; at my age you can't really pull off sparkly leprechaun shades anymore. Nude lipstick and coral blush completed the look.
