Today's outfit of the day....

Jeans from StitchFix
Black Tank from Express about 9 years ago (seriously...how is this thing still in one piece?)
Fringed Cardigan from WalMart

Not sure it works, but I wanted to wear this dang cardigan so badly.  I think it would look very cute with a bright colored spring shirt, but I only had black shoes.  So internet world, help me!  Cute summer/spring shoes that are work appropriate are required, any suggestions?

Lunch break trip to Target!

I wanted to love this shirt so bad.  The medium was way too tight on the chest...large is too big everywhere else.  Back on the rack this goes!

Loved this flowy tank, perfect with jeans on a warm day, and then I popped the cardigan I wore to work on top and loved it as well.  I love pieces I can dress up and down easily.  These came home with me!

I'm on the neverending search for a jean jacket.  I've had one sent to me from StitchFix, and I've tried them on at every dang store.  They just never fit right.  I like that this one had non denim sleeves....but...

too tight on the chest as usual, and next size up is too big.  It's just not meant to be. 

Then I made a decision....a BIG decision....to try on bathing suits.  I HATE bathing suits.  I HATE my legs, my belly, nothing fits, it's horrible.  Then I found this swim skirt that I freaking loved, and found a top that wasn't so bad,

I can't believe I'm posting this on the internet..... the skirt offers coverage.  Definitely a Mom bathing suit...but cuter then I've seen in the past.  And don't worry, the top has a strap to hold the girls up, I just didn't attach it for the sake of trying this on. I'm ready for the pool, and our trip to Mexico this winter!

and to finish off the post, my OOTD.  Lazy classic Katie.  Black work pants, white shirt and a cardigan....

April StitchFix

Confession time!  I have my StitchFix shipped to my work so my boyfriend doesn't know.  Tell me I'm not the only one!  So my box arrived as I was headed out the door on lunch to Target.  So, I ripped it open, and threw the items in my bag so I could try them on in the dressing room at Target lol.

Item #1 the Collective Concepts Galen Printed Dress $78.00

I requested dresses since I refuse to wear shorts (hate my thighs) summer is a struggle clothing wise for me.  This is a dress I would never pick out myself, so I was excited to try it on.  Props to my stylist for this one, It's great quality and I love the pattern but it just didn't fit me right.  Also, the straps make it hard for me to wear a regular bra, and with my size chest, I hate having to deviate from my usual super comfy and supportive bra.

It's a great length, casual enough for flip flops, but can easily throw a cardigan with it and wedges and wear to work.  I also love the style of dress on me usually, helps hide the tummy but this one seemed just a tad big.

Verdict: Sending it back. 

Item #2 Pixley Alison Swing Dress $ 48.00

Another Item I would probably not grab off the shelf myself, as soon as I saw this was coming I thought I would hate it.  Dresses that are "straight" don't fit my body well.  But, I tried it on anyways.  I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't hug my tummy, but it's a little too big and boxy.  Again, a great piece that would be worn on the weekends with the kids, or dressed up for work.  I need to try this on again at home with a belt to see if that helps. 

Verdict: undecided....need to belt it and then see, but I have a feeling it's going back.

Item #3 Vinnie Relaxed Linen Straight Leg Pant $118.00

My stylist noted that these pants are higher priced then my usual requested range, but thought they would be great for the summer instead of my usual jeans.  I'm definitely willing to splurge a little bit on a good pair of pants, but I'm not sure these are them.  I like the color, I don't own any pants this color, love the cut, the length but not enough to justify the price.  I feel like I wouldn't know what to pair with these other then a white shirt and I just don't think I would get enough use out of them to justify the price.  Although I loved how they made my butt look....

Verdict: Sending them back.

Item #4 Pixley Indianan Graphic Print Mixed Material Tee $44.00

Love mixed material tee's, loved how soft this is, loved the pattern but hated the fit.  Again, my stylist was right on target with this one, but the fit just doesn't work.  

Verdict: returned

Item #5 Pixley Vicente Embroidery Detail Top $48.00

I'm loving white right now, and I LOVE the pink detailing on the top.  BUT....it feels a little too big.  There is no way that my sizing needs to go down to a small, I think the style of this shirt is supposed to be big, but unfortunately items like this come down off my bust line and look like a maternity top. This is another item that I need to try on again at home with my jeans and see how I feel. 

Verdict: undecided. 

I feel bummed that most (maybe all) of my items didn't work for me this time.  But, I totally understand and appreciate why my stylist chose all of these items for me.  What do you guys think of these items???

We got about 2 feet of snow over the weekend.....and it's a Monday.  So I ended up wearing leggings to work (so bad, I know....)  But, I'm very comfortable!

Shirt: Target
Cardigan: Old Navy:
Leggings: H&M
Boots: Ross

I'm back.  The flu made its way through my house, and now I have it.  I stayed in bed all day yesterday, but had to drag myself to work today for some meetings.

Today's outfit:
Jeans (Target)
White crochet t-shirt (Marshalls)
Purple Cardigan (Target)
Hair - full of dry shampoo because the NyQuil I took last night hadn't worn off this morning, I hit snooze too many times to be able to wash and dry my hair in time....oops!

I'm proud of myself for grabbing the purple cardigan instead of the usual black.
