Outfit of the Day


 Today I worked at the retail store.  We sell mostly dress clothes for working women, so we're expected to wear clothing similar to that in our store when we're at work.  Today I wore the outfit seen in these pictures.  As I mentioned in my previous post, I paired my Ann Taylor necklace and bracelet with my simple striped 3/4 length sleeve t-shirt and slacks to make the outfit more dressy.  It's amazing what a little bit of jewelry can do!  I also added a shiny silver belt and patent open-toed silver shoes to complete the look.  Best of all, not only did I feel great in my outfit, but I also felt insanely comfortable!!!  I'll be wearing this shirt with my sweatpants tonight as I watch the season finale of "The Bachelorette."  Gotta love a shirt that can be dressed up for work, yet still casual and comfortable enough to lounge around in :-)  I bought it in a navy color today, too!

    Yes, they do! It's new in the fall line so it's still in stores. They also carry it online. You can click on the link next to the photo where it says Shirt: Ann Taylor, and that will take you right to the item. If you order online, use the code FBFRIENDS at checkout and you'll save 30% now through August 8th!

    I made sure that I let everyone know about the 30% off coupon because that brings the necklace down to under $27. If it's a piece that you know you'll wear often, it's worth the investment.

    Aside from that, I very rarely spend that much money on jewelry myself. You can find inexpensive jewelry in similar styles at H&M and Charlotte Russe. I get most of my jewelry from those two stores.

    Here are links to two similar necklaces for under $10 each:

    These bracelets would match really well and are only $4:

Fierce Comfort

It's a beautiful day in Chicago and I'm getting ready to don my mask and run some errands.  I had a quick protein shake and am about to head out but I wanted to quickly share one of my favorite tops with you since it's on sale for $9.99 today!  Today, I'm wearing a a Miselon twisted knot leopard print shirt.  It's honestly one of the softest shirts I own.  I love that it has a dressy look but is comfortable enough to lounge in.  I also like the knotted front because it gives the shirt some shape and accents your waistline.  The back is long enough to pair with leggings since it just covers your butt.  This shirt comes in 8 different colors/patterns, and I just ordered another one for myself! I'm also wearing my Spanx faux-leather leggings in a medium (usually, I wear a small).  I ordered up a size because they are snug by nature but I like a little extra wiggle room.  I love these because super stretchy and soft on the inside, and conce...

Alex Erinn Try-On Haul

Image
I want to share several pieces with you that I discovered while shopping a new online boutique called Alex Erinn.  What I love about this boutique is that they're always receiving new inventory and staying on top of the trends.  When I was approached by Alexandra, the owner of the boutique, and asked to check out some of their pieces at a discount, I was thrilled!  Below are a few of my favorites.  You can check out the full boutique here , and save 15% on your order with code rachael15. The first is this lace peplum blouse.  I've been trying to find one of these shirts for a long time, and finally found one that fits!  What makes this blouse different from others I've tried is amount of  movement it allows.  The lace sleeves are not restricting, and the bodice is lined with a satiny material that is super soft.  I also adore this particular top because I can still wear a normal bra.  The stitching on the shoulders is thick enough ...

Hey All You Cool Cats and Kittens

Okay, so we finally jumped in and binge watched  Tiger King .  I want thank Carole Baskin (who definitely killed her husband) for reigniting my love of animal prints.  I've always been a big fan of leopard print, but I just recently snagged this leopard print puff sleeve fleece sweatshirt from Express.  I love this shirt because it's comfy for working from home and dressy enough for video meetings with students and parents.  I paired it with the Kinsley necklace from Park Lane and my Spanx faux leather leggings. I've talked about my Spanx faux leather leggings before, but I'm going to talk about them again because I cannot get over how comfortable they are and how well they've held up after so many wears and washes.  Normally, I would never spend close to $100 on a pair of pants (and I didn't on these; they were a gift from my husband), but I can honestly say that I will be buying a new pair for myself when these are too worn.  They fit like a glov...
