Basic Black

Most days black isn't my color of choice, but this silk blouse had been sitting in my closet since I found it in the Joe Fresh clearance section for just $8 back in December! And we all know I love me a good silk blouse. So since it was casual friday I committed to the casual look with jeans, this silk blouse and loafers. Of course a bold red lip didn't hurt either!

Fancy PJs

I wore these J Crew anchor pants and LOFT lounge sweater last weekend for a tip to Old Orchard Mall and to run other errands. When you get right down to it, what I'm wearing is fancy pajamas made appropriate for public display by adding a cute bag and sparkly loafers. It doesn't hurt that the pants are made of silk. I even put on some lipstick to make it more legit! Thanks to my friend Julie for the color suggestion (Mac, Up the Amp).
