But, when I woke up this morning in a groggy state, I kept eyeing my nice sweater collection and thinking, this would be cute and comfy with jeans and sneakers. No, can't wear sneakers...must wear stilettos...must try to look nice today. Stupid casual dress code...I mean, I love it, but it makes it so much harder to want to put a nice outfit together when you can wear jeans and sneakers to work!
Anywho, this is what I came up with:
It wouldn't cut it at Runway mag, but for my office, this is pretty darn dressy, not to mention, I did manage to work my Nike Technology Cole Haans into the look, which do have almost 4" heels. I wanted to wear a skirt today, really, but with the weather having just turned colder and me not liking to wear tights, it just wasn't going to happen. And, did I mention that I haven't been working out like I should so some of my bottoms aren't fitting like I want? That's never a good feeling, so why not just avoid that whole mess, right? At least I went to yoga tonight!
Red Tank Top - Banana Republic
Black 3/4 length sleeve turtleneck - Banana Republic
Pants - Jaidan
Shoes - Cole Haan
Oh, and I am planning to do a review on those Cole Haans soon, but I've only worn them 3 times and need to break them in!

Oooh, I love that sweater. Normally I HATE turtlenecks (too mumsy!) but you made it look so darn chic.
Aww...thanks Sofi! I remember my mom trying to make me wear turtlenecks when I was a kid and I hated them almost as much as I hated tights. I still hate tights, but turtlenecks have grown on me!

I love this entire outfit - it's something I would wear.
Thanks Anonymous!

I have a similar pair of pants I bought at H&M two years ago, just when i gradauted college, for interviews. They're great with flats too.

Ohh I hate tights and have not wore them in years. I do love those shoes... do they have little bowes on them? The Devil Wears Prada is such a good movie and the fashion in the movie is so great.
oh this looks great!!! very chic
Hey Dinah, yes, they have the cutest little bows on them! there's a better picture of them in a previous post, I think the one called "My Spree" - they're the black Cole Haans
Hey AnastasiaC! Thanks for the compliment :)
