Almost a repeat

So something about this outfit felt really familiar this morning and as I was driving to work I thought "I think I've worn this exact combo before."  I went through my archives and figured out that it wasn't this exact combo. Swap out the pants though and it's almost a repeat!  Oh well, sometimes you just gotta go with what works!

Sweater - Merona, Target

T-shirt - Mossimo, Target

Pants - Anthropologie, thrifted

Shoes - Etienne Aiger, thrifted 

To try and make it a little more unique I decided after the first picture that I would button up the sweater all the way today.  Yep, I'm such a rebel!

I really enjoyed my "Me" day yesterday.  I even took a little break from most social media yesterday too and it was refreshing.  Not saying social media is bad, but sometimes a break is good.  But I am happy to be pretty much plugged back in today so to speak!

And because I haven't shared a kitty picture in a while, I will leave you with a picture of Miss Taylor in a box doing her best "If I fits, I sits" impression.

Oy vey, what a day

Story time!  This will be a wordier post than some!

So yesterday afternoon I was doing a quick check in on my blog and my "frequently read" blog list on the side of the page here to see if anyone had posted anything new.  I had my email open as well as I usually keep it up all day at work because I'm naughty like that.  All of a sudden, my blog like disappeared, I went to click on a page and it came up saying "This blog has been removed by the author" - Say What??  I am the author!!  Then my email freaked out and kicked me out and when I tried clicking on my Google + page it said "this account has been disabled."  Now I'm FREAKING OUT.

I put out a desperate inquiry on Twitter asking if anyone else was experiencing this problem and learned that Megan of Megan Mae Daily also was having some problems - I had just commented on her blog too, so it seems like a coincidence.  Anyway, she told me she was able to get a verification code sent to her phone that allowed her to get back in, so after I submitted two tickets to Google help, I simply tried to log in to my account and was given the same option - a code sent to my phone.  After that, I was back in.  I have still not heard from Google at all.  

It was really horrible to imagine losing all the mail I have archived on Gmail - that is one of the reasons I use Gmail, I can save as much as I want!  And it made me sad to think of losing this blog and having to start over, after I have made some connections with many of you!  I'm thankful to have my things back, but I am going to look into some changes.  Possibly going to take the blog to Wordpress, but I'll make sure to let you all know when/if that happens.  Stay tuned! For now, I'm happy to be back here!

Whew, so now that we've got that out of the way, let's talk about my outfit today!  Cause that's really why you come to my blog, for the clothes, not for my Google/Email/Blogger drama!

I'm wearing my favorite plaid pants today - inspiration struck me on Sunday, I saw them in my closet and also my new favorite blazer from F21 and I thought - hey, I bet I could put these together and they'd be cute!  And they are!

I love how comfy these pants are while still being dressy enough for work.  They are just one of my favorite finds ever.  And they can totally be dressed down too if I needed them to be, but I like to wear them to work when I can!

Also, while I miss the snow and wish we'd have a white Christmas, I was kind of excited to pull out my clogs today, I wouldn't be wearing them if it was slippery outside, but since it's not, I decided to wear them.  Overall, I like my outfit quite a bit today!

Who's that girl?

Anyone watching "The New Girl" on Fox?  Something about my outfit today is making me feel sort of Zooey Deschanel and I don't know why other than the pants maybe.

If you've been following my blog awhile you've seen these pants a couple of times before, one of my new favorite finds from an early thrift store trip in September.  Anyway, they strike me as something Zooey would wear or at the very least her character on the show, Jess, would wear, because they are funky and fun.  And I have decided they make me look a little taller which I love.

And maybe it's the bright colored shirt that has me thinking her as well, she's pretty bright and bubbly when you think about it!  Though now that I think about it, she mostly wears skirts and dresses on that show.  Oh well.

Who's that girl?  It's Beth! (my attempt at being like "The New Girl")

Maybe I'm just in a silly mood today because it is my Friday!  You just can't beat a short work week!  I'm really looking forward to the long weekend ahead of me and I am ready to dive into the holiday season.  I will let you all in on a secret - this is my very favorite time of year.  I embrace it and welcome it with open arms!

I'll be sporadically posting over the holiday weekend, but if I don't come back before Thanksgiving, I would like to wish all of you here in the US a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving!

Jewelry rebel

Happy hump day!  So I told you guys I'd be wearing these pants a lot.  Seems I just get them clean from the laundry and I want to wear them again!  Katy at Modly Chic has been doing a "Frequent Flyer" series - items that people wear quite often, and after only owning these pants just over a month, they have definitely become a frequent flyer for me.  You'll see them again and again this winter I'm pretty sure.  They're just so darn comfy, I love the plaid and they look nice!

So I was a rebel and chose to wear my necklace today in a way that is not necessarily recommended by Stella and Dot.  This chain is part of the "La Coco" collection and you're supposed to string it to another necklace and add a brooch and the whole nine yards like that.  But today I wanted a simple silver chain and this is the only one I got.  So I said, I don't care how "they" say you should wear this piece, I'll wear it how I want.  And I think it works!
