I may have to do the outfit outline when I get home today and just post the pictures....The top one is Me and GInny before the P Groove show last night at the Handle Bar. We had a lot of fun, but I now know it may be better to treat Wednesday like a Wednesday and Friday like a Friday, where as last night I tried to reverse the days and went all out on a work night...YIKES! I am already on my second cup of coffee, yes I said coffee. Green Tea just doesn't cut it after wine the night before.

Hope yall have a great day! I will add the Outfit outlines after work!

Happy Tuesday Yall!

This is the second day of this work wardrobe styling experiment, and I did it! Today was somewhat challenging seeing that Fall in the South can mean temperatures as cold as 30 and warm as 80 degrees. Today its' going to be 75 degrees...
I also have to baby-sit right after work till late so I am bringing a pair of jeans to change into after work, transitioning this outfit from day to night (casually)
Hope yall have a fabulous day!
