2-for-1

Today you get two looks in one post...kinda.  I've had the halter top in the first look for a couple years, but this is actually the first time I've worn it.  I have pulled it out to wear a couple times, but it just never quite made the cut.  Well, today I gave it a whirl and I've officially decided that this lovely top is getting the boot.  Between the time that I was fully dressed and about 3 minutes before I had to walk out the door, I realized that I just don't like the fit but I didn't havea time to change because I had a 7:30 meeting and it was already 7:02.  I do think it's a tad bit too big, and perhaps that's the issue.  Whatever it is, I know that it's not going to be making the trip to ATL.  In fact, I was so uncomfortable in the top, that it didn't even make it to happy hour today.  I got a text from a friend that a bunch of the girls were meeting up at El Torito for happy hour.  Fortunately, I had about an hour to stop home and change...that would explain look #2, which I felt much more comfortable in.  Now, aside from just not liking my shirt, I was also utterly bored with my outfit.  I'm thinking it was just one of those days...

What I'm Wearing... 

~ Arden B. Halter Top

~ Random boyfriend jeans

~ Brown leather belt

~ Cathy Jean platforms (again)

~ Bakers satchel (again)

~ H&M aviator sunnies

~ Target wooden bracelet

~ H&M bangle

(Believe it or not, I am officially tired of this bangle, and every other bracelet in my drawer.  I need an accessory shopping day...badly!)

~ Brand spankin' new Forever 21 drop earrings

(Now, I have to say that I LOVE these earrings.  They are sooo cute, but sooo heavy! I am going to have to save them for special occasions because I don't think I can stand to wear them for more than a few hours at a time.  I took them off midway through the morning and they set on my desk all day.)

Side Note: My back and arms are probably my least favorite features.  Relative to my size I have broad back and large arms.  Buying blazers an lined jackets is ALWAYS a pain! but a long time ago I decided to embrace them. They are what they are, but it took everything in me to post this picture.  I just don't like my back. It has ZERO definition.  That being said this picture was posted less for you all, and more for myself.  I really need to get over my back issues! LOL

...after the top swap...

I swapped out my halter for my current favorite H&M leopard print blouse.  Shhhh, don't tell anybody, but I wore this Monday night, too.  This is officially the 3rd time I've worn it in a month.  I just love it! I also have like 10 "summer blouses" at the dry cleaners right now sooooo this one is in heavy rotation.

Thanks for stopping by and bearing with my whiny rant today!!! xoxo,
