tee and jeans

I wore this outfit on Valentine's day.  I just love dressing up a tee and jeans with a pop of lip color, blingy earrings and a cute blazer; the loafers added a bit of a masculine touch to the outfit.   While everyone else sported red I went with neutrals.  

I love the feel of this tee.  I don't buy often from J.Crew but when I do I'm always pleased with the result.  I allowed myself a few expensive treats this month since I had gotten my tax return back.  This tee and the light wash chambray worn in this post were what I snagged.   I wish I could shop there more often, alas, a girls gotta eat!  

Did you all enjoy your weekend, did you shop the sales?? 

I shopped a teeny bit at the gap.  There were just too many staples on sale that I needed to replace (leggings, white tee) and they had them for a steal!   I also bought a few things for my apartment - another room coming to this blog soon!  This time I'll share the before and after photos. 

Happy Monday peeps!

Thank goodness for awesome bloggers and tutorials.  This outfit came from Merrick's business card illustration  I knew I had all the pieces to make this outfit and honestly I had never thought of this layered look(seriously, what is wrong with me?).   I am open to any outfit idea and inspiration to make my clothes feel new and awesome again.   I am getting serious tunnel vision on how to wear my current winter closet. 

Last week I didn't have a very good time getting my booty to the gym; I did manage to work in a few pilates videos (28 Day Pilates Challenge) and a couple yoga sessions.  I'm glad to be back in routine this week!  How is your week going?

Linking up with Shanna today!
