What to wear to work

Black City flats, the Gap (I now have these in a bunch of colors, I love them!)

Sweater: DKNY, top: ModBod, pants: Target, cute jewelry and sweater were gifts from my parents for my birthday!

Before you spend money on enlargements or framing...

Here's a nice life made easier idea...

I always agonize over what artwork I want on my walls, where it should go, etc. I was on the verge of a big purchase for me: a canvas wrap photo print for our fireplace. I knew I wanted a wedding photo, and I had a discount from Gilt Groupe. Yay! But I wasn't sure what I wanted. Classic black and white? Color photo? Dark and dramatic? Bright and colorful? So I made some mockups. They aren't cute, and I used a photo of the fireplace from during construction (otherwise I'd have to take everything off the mantle, and well, this was easier) and the placed small versions of my photos on top to see how I liked the color and composition. Now all I need to do is order and enjoy!

I'm currently between two of them. This process was great because I was able to tell right away that I didn't like the look of black and white on the brick, the first one seemed too dark, and the perspective on the second-to-last one, which I had thought would look really cool, was just weird.

What to wear to work

 Excuse the wrinkles; I took these at the end o the day.

What to wear to work

Two outfits:

Sweater, top and khakis, all from Target

Pink open-toe flats from New York and Company

 A less "spring-like" pick: top from Forever 21.

A jarring disovery

After my debacle with rats (UGH) I dicovered that one of those creatures made it to the back of one of my very deep cupboards and munched at a supply of extra baking products in plastic bags. I keep my supplies in jars (more pictures to come) but the surplus was still in the store's packaging. I decided it was time to jar EVERYTHING.

 So I made a trip to Target (green produce savers, above) and IKEA (glass jars and plastic pop-top dispensers below)

 It's getting there...

This is cool.

J and I no longer have a house phone. Really only telemarketers (and my mom) ever called it, and we decided we didn't need to spend money on it. The one thing that irks me about not having a home line is that it does one incredible useful thing: you can call your missing cell phone on it.

Now I've only had an incredibly lost phone once since moving, but it was a pain. But no longer, my friends!

I did try it, and it works!
