Thursday -- Ally

Today is our holiday party at work, and I'm awfully excited about seeing my colleagues and catching up. We don't all get together often, but always have a great time when we do.

The quality of this picture is terrible too - I really need to spend some time with my camera settings!

Cardi - New York & Co.

black top - Old Navy

Pants - Old Navy

Necklace - Sarah Balmer

Nude fishnets - TJ Maxx

Green snakeskin heels - Ralph Lauren








I got a STEAL on this cardigan at NY&Co. They're all buy one get one 75% off, so snag 'em while you can. I also used my AAA card for an extra 15% off so they were both $45 even (including tax). I got this great purple one and a lime green one. Great deal!

You can see the details a little better in this pic:




These are the same style pant as yesterday but in the short length. Now...look carefully. That's right. There's no real difference. There are no words at how much this irritates me. I'm only 5'3. Short length pants should fit fine. Average/medium length should require a heel. These are short and they require a heel. I need to get them hemmed so I can wear flats more.

Today's shoes are some of my favorites. I've decided that for me, green gets to be a neutral. It's right there with black, brown, tan, red, and animal print :D

Starting today and through 12/24, New York & Co is having 50% off everything AND free shipping. Yeah. I know, right??

Get 50% off the entire site AND free shipping with code 2665 for a limited time only - shop now!

Friday -- Ally

TGIF! Usually I'm not one to get fussy about a week seeming long but goodness! This one seemed to drag along!

Part of me thinks this outfit is a little too "sexy" for work, but the other part of me said to get over it and stop being such a prude. We'll see.

Dress: Merona (It's the black version of the one Leslie loves so much)

Python print scarf: Walmart ($2.50!!!!)

Belt: Walmart

Shoes: Jessica Simpson (Zappos.com outlet)












As you may have noticed, I'm a little busty. I have the occasional misstep and it's The Boob Show all day. I fret over this a lot and am constantly taping, pinning and layering to keep things in control.

It's getting old, though, so I thought I'd try something new. I wrapped the scarf around me and tucked the ends in my faux-Spanxx (classy, I know). It's not going anywhere!!!











Tracey and I spent a delightful afternoon at Zappos a few months back and these were one of my purchases. They're mostly uncomfortable but only b/c the platform/heel are "off" somehow and it hurts my ankle. I have flats under my desk for later!








And now, for the bargain of the century! Kimberly had posted about snagging a killer Python Coach iPod case and, of course, I wanted one! I already had a plain black Coach one (thanks, Mama & Daddy!) but seriously. A girl needs something snakey and sparkly on her desk, right?

I got mine for $16.01 and that included shipping. Retail was $178. I too rock it old school and have an iPod mini and can't justify upgrading.

Speaking of "justify" - I'm currently desk-dancing to some Justin Timberlake - yay for iPods at work!!! Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!!
