I tried a spray tan from Sun Tan City for the first time in my life this week (4th picture down I'm pretty sure).......what do you guys think?  I kind of like it but I'm anxiously waiting to see how long it lasts.  Have any of you ever got a spray tan at a salon before?  Any tips or tricks for a newbie like me?

Quick Note

Hello Dear Friends..........Just wanted to let you know that my mom went into hospital Friday so posting may be scarce for awhile.  I apologize for not answering any e-mails, it may be a bit before I can get to them.  Here are a couple of outfit pictures I've taken, they're a bit dark but it's been really cold and rainy here lately.  Please keep my family in your thoughts when you say your prayers at night.  Ciao Lovelies ;)

Outfit Recap # 7

Happy mid-week everyone!  I think my favorite outfit in this whole set is the Brad Goreski look alike.  Inspiration actually came from Mr. PEMS's Sunday outfit  (and of course I not only had to borrow his tie but he had to tie it for me as well ;)  What about you?.....has your significant other ever inspired your style?

So the last outfit was totally off the beaten path........but I like to push myself outside of my comfort zone on the weekends.  I tend to stick with styles I'm comfortable with during the week for work so this was a nice change of pace.

I finally have most of my summer things unpacked and I'm re-evaluating the fit of some of my previous fave's.  For instance, the white wide legged trousers from Loft may not be the most flattering for my body type..........what do you guys think?  I can always try it with a different style of top if you think that might make a difference.  Any suggestions?

Happy Friday Dear Friends!

I don't know how well you can see the details of the back of this sweater, but I love the visual interest of the added ruffles.

I wasn't able to post at all last week and this weekend Mr. PEMS took me outlet shopping to celebrate our wedding anniversary!......(He said that it would be our shopiversary). Lol 

I bought the Ann Taylor Factory Lace dress reviewed here by Jean at Extra Petite and here by Cee at To Brighten My Day.........and thanks to some savy wheeling and dealing was able to get the dress at 1/2 off!  I haven't styled it yet, but I'm sure you'll see it soon in the upcoming posts ;) 

Outfit Recap #4

Hello Dear Friends, this has been one hectic week!  I started a new job Monday and wrecked my car on Tuesday.  Luckily today went without mishap (although it's not over yet ;) Lol

I am not in the habit of wearing suits to work, but business dress was required Monday.  Luckily, I am a bit of a suit horse (for no reason at all) and had this 2009 gray Ann Taylor suit on hand!  The leather satchel is Nine West and I can't even tell you how old it is since it's been around since school days ;)

I capitulated and bought the Converse Chambray Shirt after seeing Jean's review.  (Thank you Jean!)  I did have to have it hemmed but I didn't think the rest of the fit was too bad.  I wore it with the Loft's 2010 felt green jacket, Loft's plaid cropped pants (thrifted) Target's Patent Merlot Pumps (at least 3 years old) and a bag bought from a friend selling Avon accessories two years ago.

I tried two different belts with this outfit, you can tell me which one you prefer.  To me this outfit is very similar to the one worn by Bianca here and by Anh here.  I adore how both of these ladies paired metallics and denim.  The bag is Hype (quite old from TJMaxx), the shirt is gap (thrifted and hemmed), the shoes are Rhiana by Madden Girl (2010), and the necklace if F21.

Lo and behold, this Converse Chambray Shirt is getting a lot of use!  I paired it with a gorgeous H&M skirt I found on e-bay, gray Kenneth Cole Outlet bag and these amazing Sofft Pavia Peep toes in Eggshell.

I added a close up so you can see the pretty detail on my Loft tank from 2009.  The animal print scarf is from Loft 2009 as well.  I bought these Loft faux denim trousers in 00p on e-bay after wearing a 0p I had bought in the store for several years and finally realizing how baggy they actually were!  (Slightly embarrassing after I saw some pictures of myself in them ;) Lol

Armitron Tortoise Shell Watch, Target Mossimo Messenger Bag in Cognac and Target Mossimo Supply Co Juniors Boyfriend Cardigan.

I tried to add links for everything that's still available, but if you would like additional outfit information just let me know.

Ciao Lovelies!
