Shoes.com

I have been wearing these shoes all summer. Ive worn them to work at the office, Ive worn them to the beach, Ive worn them several times a week. They are so comfortable, and I was able to snagg them for $20 earlier this year.

I also give Shoes.com two thumbs up.

Old Navy Goes to the Office

I was browsing OldNavy.com and I was surprised to find that they have some tasteful business separates. This is something I would wear....

I am currently in love with pencil skirts. They work on such a wide variety of body shapes. It can be dressy enough for the office, or casual if you please.

Igigi also has a great resource on what a pencil skirt looks like, and what kind of shape it works on. Just click on the section that says "shapes" for more info.

I love button down tops, I own many different colors, styles, and shapes. It can be dress with a nice skirt or pant, or many can be casual with jeans or khaki's. A lot of times I wear a cami or some type of tank top underneath

The bag is functional for work. You can throw your papers in there, a lap top or even your lunch. There is plenty of room. The shoes are a change of pace from your regular heels. Give your feet a rest! And for those who aren't fortunate enough to own a strand of pearls, this necklace makes a fun substitute. Have I mentioned how much I love this skirt?

Old Navy Trapeze Tank Top

A few weeks ago I picked up two Old Navy Trapeze Tank Tops. It is super comfortable, thin but not too thin, and its a perfect length for me. It ends right past my belly. I dont generally like things that fall mid belly or too far past by belly. The way it gathers at the top, combined with the slight v-neck makes for an attractive cut but not over the top with cleavage. I have worn them alone with a strapless bra, and under other shirts with a bra. Both ways work well.

I was surprised to find that I fit into the XL. I've noticed that a lot of their cotton/stretch type tops fit me in both XL and XXL sizes. For reference, I am a 22-24/44C, so this is more than generous. Perhaps this is the trade off for removing plus sizes from the stores.

I purchased one in black and one in white, but I got them on clearance for $7 each. This one is currently running "reduced" at $15.

Casual Outfit - Purple and Black

When I first saw this top I thought it would be perfect for a casual night out. Maybe a night out with the girls, or a get together with family. I combined it with a wristlet because I prefer to carry a wristlet if Im out at a bar or resturant. As long as I can fit my ID, cash, cell phone, and keys in it, I am set. I dont have to worry about lugging around a bag all night.
