20 miles

Jul192010_0002
My lack of posting is due to last week's busy schedule of work--all kinds of work. Ah! Of course even with my schedule, I take on more projects. Must learn to say no sometimes. I have been making a recent effort  though at not forcing myself to do as much for the sake of earning a dollar. My life has been consumed with that for as long as I can remember. It's a constant struggle between my innate selfishness and putting people and relationships first. And managing my time. Anyone else feel that way sometimes?

I picked up this galloping horse top a week ago and for work, I paired it with a black skirt, belt and my new boots, courtesy of ModCloth. I had my eye on those boots for a while and I danced out of happiness when I saw the box containing the boots outside my door. I traipsed all over town in this outfit, going out to lunch downtown, meetings galore and of course changed into my favorite pair of cut offs after I got out of work to run errands and meet up with friends for drinks. I like wearing this outfit with a skirt and with shorts so I'm posting photos of both looks and how I easily transitioned it from a more work appropriate oufit to after-work.

Andrea, I ALWAYS feel that way, and I continue to add more projects/hobbies/commitments. Also, I am quite jealous of your ability to style professional ware. I have no problem coming up with great outfits for after hours, but during the work day, I usually look lazy with the standard black dress pants and boring business casual blouse / button down, etc. Good work!
