how to wear pjs to work

Mossimo Pants: Target $20 [here] Blouse: Target (30% off) $16 [similar] Necklace: Forever 21 $9 American Eagle Sandals: Marshall's, gift carded Total Outfit Cost: $45 Some days I wish my office was a little more dressy... like pencil skirt and pumps dressy. Please note, these "some days" were before pregnancy! Anyways, I can totally wear a pencil skirt and pumps to work, but my office is pretty casual. I've said it before, but we're on the casual side of business casual. This outfit? Completely work appropriate! And this has got to be the comfiest work outfit ever. Feels just like pjs to me!  Ps. These pictures are from over a month ago. If you saw yesterday's post, you know that my stomach is no longer that flat!!

I hope you all had a great Christmas! I sure did! Christmas morning I was the first one up (always), so I had my coffee and waited on everyone else to get up. My sister, her boyfriend, and my husband took forever to wake up! I unsuccessfully tried to wake them multiple times haha. When they finally got up, we first opened presents. I thought I was going to be smart and let the dogs into their stockings first so that they'd chew on their bones and leave us alone. Well, Charlie grabbed her entire stocking when we gave it to her and brought it to our bedroom! It was hilarious. I guess she didn't want to share with my parents' dogs. My parents' dogs had no interest in the bones we got them. After presents, we ate my mom's traditional breakfast casserole! Mmmm. It gets better every year. Then, we had to take pictures in our matching PJs (another tradition of ours). Then, Larry and I went to his Granny's to spend some time with his family. We ate lunch with everyone, and then we played white elephant. I ended up with my own gift so I was happy. ;) Later on, we headed back to our house and we put Larry's present from me to use! I got him an electric smoker, so we smoked a turkey. I'm usually not big on baked turkey, but smoked? It was GOOD. Mom also made my mawmaw's cornbread dressing recipe and I made my aunt's green bean casserole recipe. So we ate good for supper! My sister and her boyfriend left the next day, but my parents stayed with me until Sunday night (Larry went hunting this weekend). So the Wallace household is empty now after a week full of guests! So bittersweet!

With the exception of this scarf, this outfit is compiled of all new pieces to my closet!

 Let's start from the top- Ginny posted an outfit in this absolutely gorgeous lace blouse. I knew right away I had to have it too. I have a lace blouse already, but it's super old and is falling apart (it was from f21 so no surprise), so I was definitely in the market for one. I ordered this one when I ordered these pants and it was another win for Target (no suprise)!

This jacket- I've been eyeing this jacket at Old Navy for a year now! I had gotten some Old Navy super cash and I set a reminder on my phone for the dates that I could use it. I went in to finally buy this jacket, and I get to the register and whatdoyaknow I came in a day too early for my super cash so I couldn't use it. I got lucky though because this jacket was on sale! I don't doubt that it would have cost $35 the next day and I would have paid the same amount for it after the super cash. This way, I got to use my super cash on something else (some clothes for my hubby) and I still got my jacket for a good price! Win-win.

These pants- or should I say legging pants. They're perfect. They have the comfort of leggings, but they're pants. Need I say more? They were 50% off online and then I had got a $20 off coupon in the mail from The Limited so I got them for just $20!

Lastly, these booties. I recently signed up for Just Fab again since I'm in need of some new boots. I originally ordered a pair of black and a pair cognac riding boots. They came in and both looked super cheap so I sent them back. Then I got these booties and a different pair of boots (that I again didn't love) and the booties were a keeper!



the blazer is back

LC Blazer: Kohl's $24 Lace Top: Forever 21 old Gap Jeans: Plato's Closet $12 Flats: Forever 21 old Necklace: Forever 21 Total Outfit Cost: $36   I wore this blazer so much last spring and summer, and you better believe that it's be back again this year! Unfortunately, there are two pieces here that are definitely needing replacements: my leopard flats and my lace blouse. I remember that I got these flats sometime in the fall of 2011, and they have definitely gotten their full use by now. The sole of them are slightly falling apart, and the fabric is ripping. There's nothing really wrong with the lace blouse, but I think that I want to replace it with one that's better quality and thicker. I've been looking for new flats, but I just haven't had any luck with finding any that I like as much as these! I've considered the loafer style too, but the ones I tried on at target weren't comfortable. Anyone have any suggestions?
