Heading to a Nats game after work so I wanted to look professional for a brown bag, but also comfy for the long day and the casual event. I know the flops are really pushing it, but yesterday was a tough day, a long day and a day in heels. Tomorrow I have my high… Continue Reading Friday: Jun 27, 2008
Clients in the office today. As much as I desired to arrive at the office in my cropped Old Navy yoga pants, I had to look presentable!

Friday I could hardly get out of bed to email my team that I was calling out. My whole body ached, I had the sniffles,… Continue Reading Thursday and Friday: Jun 22, 2008
Wow, ignore the big piece of hair across my face – I didn’t even feel that there! Goodness! But do say hi to Ruckus who HAD to be in the room with me while taking the picture – he was sad to be without us for six days and won’t leave my side now. 🙂… Continue Reading Wednesday
I know you readers have my mantra memorized – Quality, not Quantity. Quality can come at any price range, and appropriateness can too. Often times we confuse a high pricetag with formality.
