Monday Tuesday

I'm back to the grind today with work and even though it's Tuesday, it feels like Monday, so I decided to do two birds Inspiration Monday on a Tuesday.  Confused?  Me too.  But here we go with Keri Russell here anyway.  Side note - if you've never seen her in the show The Americans, check it out, it's a great show.  Also, I've been a fan of Keri's since her Mickey Mouse Club days while I'm sure everyone else mostly remembers her from Felicity.

Anyway, here's my take.  I'm still learning how to use Nate's camera, so these did not turn out the greatest, but I did my best this morning!  I kind of took the look backwards, stripes on the bottom instead of the top.

Tank top - Blue As Skies, Skirt - Merona (Target)

Shoes - Anne Klein (from cousin) 

Now let's just hope my "Monday" is kind to me.  I came back to many emails, so I guess I'd better hop to it!

For more inspiration Monday looks, head on over to two birds over here.

The argyle sweater

These are some of my first pictures from the office - it's a little weird getting dressed for work again!  I wore a similar version of this outfit last spring - seen here - during the Pantone color challenge week.  And funny story, when I wore it, I knew I was pregnant, but I hadn't told anyone yet besides Mr. Monkey!

I love argyle, so I love the pattern on this sweater and it's nice and bright which helps on a dreary winter day. And cardigans and nursing camis are kind of my best friend these days.  It really makes things easier for nursing and pumping!

Sweater - Talbots, thrifted

Cami - Motherhood Maternity

Pants - Express, consignment

Shoes - Etienne Aiger, consignment 

Speaking of argyle sweaters - that is one of my favorite comic strips, The Argyle Sweater.  I have a "cartoon of the day" calendar on my desk that is The Argyle Sweater and I love it.  It makes me laugh.  I've been known to keep my favorites and pin them on my bulletin board at work.  You have to make your workplace fun right?
