My Day in Photos: Cronuts, an OOTD, the Eye Doctor, Statement Necklaces and Pretty Sunsets!

So today felt like a day to show you 'My Day in Pictures.'  To be completely honest with you, I had a great day at work, a couple of pretty cool things happened and I had productive meetings.  Not only did I have awesome meetings and get a lot of things done, but we celebrated the March birthdays we have in the office by ordering DoCo Donuts and Cronuts.  They were pretty good I can't lie.  I mean do you see the one below with bacon on it?  I didn't try that one but someone else in my department did and she was all about it.  I tried a cookie dough cronut and it was SO SWEET.  OMG!


     

I snapped this gorgeous pic on the way home from work.  Very dangerous, I know, but how could you miss an opportunity to take a picture of a gorgeous sky like this?  I don't think you could.  


So this next picture comes with a story.  I am making a really weird face because I was waiting in my car to go into the eye doctors office.  I don't know if you can tell from the photo or not, but my eyes are extremely irritated and its very frustrating because I just recently got new contacts (yesterday) and all of a sudden something was flaring up on my skin under/on the side of my eyes again!  I couldn't believe it, so I immediately called my doctor and tried to get an appointment and here I was.  Also, I know my hair looks extremely ratch here and I don't want to talk about it.


I thought my necklace was looking pretty fly here just hanging from my rearview mirror so I snapped a quick picture of it with the sky looking so pretty in the background.  Things like this make me happy.


Finally, my outfit for the day. 


I am obsessed with this shirt.  The arms are a gray polka dot pattern on top of a black background which is grounds enough for me to buy it, but the rest of the shirt is what definitely sold it.  As you can see in the next picture, the shirt expands into a floral pattern that is also gray/black&white.  The patterns are so contrasting but they are perfect together because they are in the same color family.  This is the best way to mix patterns if you are scared to do so.  I of course am wearing my MK 5605, my trusty winter watch.  





You can see my pants color here the best, they are an emerald green and perfect to wear for the winter because not only does the color match the season, but also perfectly with this shirt.  You can also kind of catch my shoes here.  I don't know if you can tell but the shoes are black booties from Aldo and they are SO comfortable.  I love the suede texture of the front part of the bootie but in the black there is this weird snake/fir texture.  I am going to write a full post about booties coming soon, so look for a better explanation there!


Here is another shot of the shoes and my pants in which you can't even tell what color anything is.  The reason for this photo though, is because I was watching Pretty Little Liars and I wanted to share that with you guys.  I mean, what else is this post worth if it didn't include Pretty Little Liars?  Btw, Spencer looks like she's going cray in next weeks episode.  What do you think?



Well everyone, you've spent your day with me and now it's time for me to get to bed.  I am going to snuggle into covers and get warm, watch some YouTube and get sleeping!  I can't believe tomorrow is hump day already, these weeks are passing so quickly for some reason.  ITS MARCH!  Ahhh, so insane.  Leave a comment below or send me a tweet and let me know how your day was.  Also, let me know what you are thinking about Pretty Little Liars lately.  #SpencerIsCray.  


Jeffrey Campbell Day Dreams.



Coming from a place of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), I can't help but just long for summer every single second of every single day.  I know I have talked about it before but the struggle is real here as I wait very impatiently for the warmer temperatures to come.  I say all of this with the temptation of this past weekend where it was 61 degrees on both days.  Yes I am serious.  Here at the good old Jersey Shore, we had a beautiful weekend but now it's almost hump day and I am left only with reminiscing thoughts on the warmer temperatures of the weekend and hoping that they'll come again soon.  

On this glorious Wednesday eve, I want to talk to you about a certain Jeffrey Campbell lookbook called "DAY DREAMS."  I don't know why I haven't seen it until now, but I am in love with almost everything in the lookbook, I want it all.  There has to be something special about a shoe for me to love it.  Granted, there are some basics that I'm sure are loved by everyone, but for me to be obsessed with a shoe, it has to be next level.  Do you feel the same way?

There's something about the pastel colors here that make me swoon.  Being that I do want the desirable temperatures so bad, maybe the colors just make me feel like they are already here.  Whatever it is, I just love the vibe.  I love the blue hair, the whimsical feel and everything else.  Check it out and let me know for yourself.  Do you have SAD?  I certainly do.  Check out the lookbook here and send me a tweet to let me know your thoughts.






Relaxing fashion.


When I get home from work and the majority of my day is over, I want to do nothing more than sit at my computer and read blogs for the rest of the day.  I absolutely love dressing up and looking great, but  loungewear is perfection in my eyes.




I was in Forever 21 last month and I picked up this great cream colored sweater.  Now this isn't your normal cable knit sweater, the fit is loose and relaxed with an open knit, diagonal pattern.  I love the simplicity and comfort it provides for just relaxing at home with some coffee or tea on a rainy afternoon just like today.  Don't get me wrong, you can absolutely throw a denim button up underneath this sweater and wear it with jeans and boots for a shopping day with the girls, but I love it for relaxing.

To go with the sweater is a classic pear of yoga pants from Victoria's Secret Pink.  Who doesn't love them, right?  These are just so comfortable and always make me feel relaxed but not sloppy.  Sometimes when you're chilling at home you want to feel relaxed but not like a bum, and I love these pants for that reason.

On the feet are my absolutely adorable booties that I got for Christmas from Judy, I love her so much!  These are by Rocket Dog and exactly what I was looking for but couldn't seem to find, thats why I was thrilled to receive them.  The booties are so comfortable and warm.  In this case they even go with my sweater, in love!

I hope you guys liked this quick little post on fashion for relaxation.  I love feeling calm, cool and collected and this outfit is exactly what I need some days after work.  Okay, every single day after work.  What do you all wear when you get home from work?  Share it in the comments or send me a tweet!  Thank you for reading.
Xoxo-Brit.
