Jetsetting Chic


Jeans: LOFT, Jacket: Cynthia Rowley via TJ Maxx (similar), Tank: Ann Taylor, Shoes: Steve Madden (similar), Necklace: c/o Excessory Exchange, Watch: Kate Spade, Sunglasses: Oscar by Oscar de la Renta via TJ Maxx
I'm off to Dallas today for work. I don't travel a lot for work, so I have yet to master a good business travel wardrobe. Fortunately for me, our office is pretty casual which means I can get away with wearing jeans. I like wearing dark wash jeans in the office, and when paired with a fun jacket and necklace I look professional but not boring. I never want to look boring!


This beautiful necklace is from Excessory Exchange. And because they are so wonderful, they are offering one lucky reader their choice in color of the chevron stackable ring I am wearing below as well as any ring you like from the Excessory Exchange boutique!

Also in blue and turquoise.

All you have to do is like Excessory Exchange on Facebook and win the awesome ring!!

Maxxed Out

What happens to your credit cards when you spend too much money at TJ Maxx. Earlier this week I went to TJ Maxx/Homegoods for a cake stand. I left with a cake stand, 2 big decorative glass jars, 2 blazers, 2 shirts, 2 ties, and socks for B. And I almost returned the cake stand.

No self control, I tell you!

1. I did this pseudo juice cleanse this week. I still ate solid foods, but breakfast and lunch was just juice. I posted some of my favorite recipes on Tuesday.
2. That is one of the big glass jars I got. It now serves as my nail polish storage.
3. Since it's still freaking cold outside (its almost April, weather, get in the game!!), I layered up with my favorite H&M blazer and one of my new shirts!
4. Thursday, B was back from his road trip so I decided to celebrate with some wine. Juice cleanse, shmoose cleanse!
5. And since B was home, that meant that I actually made a real dinner. I find myself having jelly beans, granola bars, and/or steamed veggies when he isn't here. I made one of my eMeals dinners, veggie and black bean chili. Delicious!

Other than that, this week was pretty ho hum. I get so bored when B isn't here. I spent one night organizing socks. ORGANIZING. SOCKS. Ugh...it's depressing. B enjoyed hearing about my sock organizing adventure, though. He lovingly referred to it as Sockalypse (like a sock apocalypse). I think it was really more of a sock rapture because some socks were taken and some were...left behind (high five obscure modern Christian literary reference).

Aaaaaaaand I'm done.

I hope you had a fun week! By fun, I mean I hope you didn't spend your nights organizing socks.
