FASHION FIESTA!

Since I'm having a stressful week (see post below), I decided to have a little fun for a bit and participate in Big Mama's Fashion Fiesta!

Let's get started...

This is one of my favorite suits, which is what I usually wear to work everyday when I am in the office. This suit is my favorite - my parents gave it to me for Christmas. (I don't usually wear a hat, though, that's just me playing around! Ha!)

This is what I wear when I'm doing a workshop or some sort of outreach for United Way - United Way oxford with khakis. That's me and my sweet husband at a Back to School Bash last August.

During the spring and summer, when I'm not working, I love to wear oxfords and khakis - you can never go wrong with that!

Another example of my summer outfit - notice my LONG hair????

I buy a lot of my clothes from TJ Maxx and Marshall's (you can get great stuff for a fraction of the cost) - this is what I wore for St. Patrick's Day - a fun gingham top with a splash of green - I LOVE green! P.S. - I got both tops from TJ Maxx!

This is my favorite favorite favorite outfit for spring and summer - it's a cool linen top with white linen pants. I seriously wear this ALL the time! Another TJ Maxx find! (My husband snapped this picture while I was in the mecca known as Vera Bradley!)

I do love to wear dresses, though! This is my favorite "little black dress" (I'm on the left) - this is what I wore when I was a door knocker this past year for sorority recruitment - I seriously could dedicate a whole post to being a door knocker. That's my sweet friend, Chloe - we share a love for all things vintage and Audrey Hepburn - I definitely think she looks way cuter than me!

This is another favorite dress I have for spring and summer (a Marshall's find)...

But this dress was my all-time favorite EVER - my bridal gown. I could seriously wear my bridal gown every single day - I love it so much!

Now, if I didn't have a tight husband who would let me purchase whatever I wanted (no searching through TJ Maxxx), here's what I would buy...

I would buy this dress from Lily - love pink!

This suit from J. Crew - pink again!

And this outfit from Ann Taylor.

Oh, to have no budget! Ha....you can find me a TJ Maxx any day of the week!
