This casual Friday I decided to wear my black dress, which I hadn't worn in a long time, it was one I had bought during the time I was living in NYC. For a classier look, I paired it with pearls and my cardigan, for a pop of color was my red handbag. This was during the month of November of last year.

Black dress is Merona brand from Target, cardigan from H&M, booties from Sears and red handbag from Kenneth Cole Reaction from Ross. The belt came from a dress I bought at Marshall's.

I accidentally saved this picture with a bubbles filter on my phone, so I left it that way.

Long pearl necklace I put around my neck three times is from a site that no longer exists, which is sad because they had really good deals, earrings I made, pearl bracelets from Miss A, watch from Target, middle promise ring from Walmart and others from Ross, bracelet on other wrist from Burlington Coat Factory. At this point I was already engaged, but the ring hadn't arrived yet from Zales website.

I had asked my cousin to bring one of my suitcases I had left in NY since she was coming down to Miami. Among the things in that suitcase was this pencil skirt, which for some reason I never found the last time I was in upstate NY to bring some of my things, but luckily here it was. This was my first pencil skirt and it was a very high waisted one that used to fit tight on me, but of course now it's kind of loose like everything else, but since my hips stay the same no matter how thin I get, it was doable. I paired it with my chevron printed top I had only worn once before and it worked out well.

Chevron top from Macy's worn to work for Macy's, pencil skirt was bought many years ago, cardigan from H&M and sandals from Rainbow.

Earrings from New York and Company, ring from Beya, watch from mini in the box, pearl bracelets from Miss A and stainless steel bracelet was a gift.

Lately I've been going more fashionable for work at Macy's especially since I finally got the right kind of booties I've been looking for. I hadn't worn this blue dress in a while, last time I wore it, I didn't have my black tights and had to wear it with leggings, which wasn't the same. This time I wore it with my black cardigan and different black boots. Macy's bathroom has a full length mirror and that's where I can take outfit pictures, but right when I took it, a woman walked out of her stall amd she came out in the shot. I had to get back to work, so I was unable to retake it.

The blue dress was a gift, cardigan from H&M, belt was taken from a peplum dress from Marshall's and since I walk a lot and take buses to go to work and also always arrive earlier, I wore flats and changed into the booties when I was going to start my shift. Since I have to be on my feet and walk all around the store as part of my job. Flats were from Rainbow.

Earrings from Claire's, pearl necklace was a gift, gold necklace from Saks, ring from Beya, pearl bracelet Miss A and gold bangles part of a set from New York and Company.

Got to wear my new sunglasses from Sears while waiting for the mall to open.

It was just before hair washing day, so I put it up in a bun for work not knowing it would be my last day as a blonde. I had been thinking about going darker for a while, but still had an extra blonde hair dye in the bathroom, when my roommate asked if she could use it to give herself an ombre, that was my ticket. For this workday I wore my peplum with a cardigan and my new pearl necklace that was part of my birthday gift from my friend, I had been looking for a day to wear it.

Peplum top bought in Nicaragua, skinny chinos from Walmart and cardigan from H&M.

Earrings from Burlington Coat Factory, necklace from Miss A as well as the double stranded pearl bracelet, pearl bangles were a gift.
