Monday, Monday

Ugh, Mondays.

It was a pretty quiet day at work so it made for a long day.

Saturday I had to run to a nearby mall and found one of my Friday Finds outfits. What do you think?

Here's today's gem:

Super Sunday

I had a great day! Church was so inspiring today. The message on our church sign was this: Patience is trusting in God's timing. So true. And something I work on everyday.

For our service we had a Singspiration Sunday. Several members of our church, mostly the youth, put their musical skills on display and they were fantastic!

Following that, I stopped for a visit with my grandma. She's so excited for my brother's wedding. So cute!

Here's the info on today's outfit:
Blazer: BR
Shirt: Jason Wu for Target
Pants: Gap
Shoes: Olsenboye via JC Penney

Friday Finds

Today totally didn't go as planned. I had a kiddo in the library with me for most of the day and we played Guess Who? and checkers a lot. He was a good sport about losing. I even tried to lose on purpose but he totally didn't take the opportunities I gave him. Oh well, we had a good time.

Then we had a student vs. student basketball game this afternoon. Good times.

Here are some lovelies I'd like to add to my closet:

Both are these from the JCrew catalog.  If anyone wants to bankroll my wannabe JCrew addiction, please let me know!  I could seriously purchase every single piece of clothing!

Comfy

So, this week has been ddddrrraaagggggggiiinnnggg. I'm so happy tomorrow is Friday! Next week at this time, I'll be at the rehearsal dinner for Alison and Chris! So exciting!

Today, I wanted to be comfortable and warm. It's always freezing in the library. Enter my favorite, most comfy black pants. I like this outfit because it looks nice but feels almost like pajamas. Look out pajama jeans, you have some competition!

Details

I think what I like most about this look is the little details: the flower on the dress, the pop of pink with the belt, and my chevron Missoni flats. I guess I liked the dots and chevron combo so much I did it for a second day in a row. If I dress with that combo again tomorrow, I believe I have a problem! :)

Sunny Day

I love these blue pants. I originally wanted the brighter blue pair, and I still would love them, but there is just something so happy about this blue. Considering today's work day was a test of my patience, I'd say it was a good thing I wore them!

Since the pants were so light I decided to play with polka dots and chevron with them. I'm pretty happy with the overall look!

When I got home, Sophie and I took a walk to enjoy the weather. I hear it may rain this week so I wanted to get it in while I could!

Here's hoping tomorrow will be more pleasant and this week goes by quickly!

City of Brotherly Love

As I mentioned before, I was in Philly over the weekend to celebrate my future sister-in-law, Cara.

Friday night, my parents and I went to dinner with my brother at a lovely little restaurant named, Supper. They use local ingredients and it was really good. We then hung out at the hotel bar, where we got our pic taken. People keep commenting that my brother and I look alike which is funny to me since NO ONE has ever said that before. Must be the weight I've lost or the magic of Instagram.

Saturday was the shower. No pics from that but it was held at a fantastic Italian place, La Viola West. The waitstaff was great and the food incredible. Cara and Brad got lots of great stuff and it was fun to meet their friends.

Saturday was also the bachelorette party. I won't embarrass anyone by posting pics of that but it was a lot of fun! Alex, the maid of honor, did a great job planning! We had a Mojito making class, dinner at Cuba Libre, and drinks/dancing at L'Etage. I especially liked the people watching. Funny how the song that evoked the most singing and dancing was Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance With Somebody.

Friday and Saturday I walked around the city a bit and shopped. I purchased a dress you'll hopefully see soon!

Sunday was dreary and rainy. I guess appropriate since we had to leave town.

I'm so excited for the wedding this summer!!
