Work It Wednesday - Drop-Shoulder Cardigan

Around mid-week last week, I received an email from Banana Republic announcing a 50% of everything "Power Hour" sale between 11am - 2pm. My colleague and I took our lunch breaks together, and, rather than eating, drove to our nearest Banana Republic to see what they had.  I wasn't shopping for anything in particular, but I found this drop-shoulder cardigan and thought it was cute.

When I saw the price, I knew I could not pass it up.  The original price was $120, and online you can still find it at 99.99.  In the store it was marked down to $24.99 and eligible for an additional 50% off.  That's right - this beauty came home with me for a mere $12.49!!  So for this Work It Wednesday post, I wanted to show different ways I could wear it - buttoned over a white tee and skinny jeans on the weekend, unbuttoned over a black shirt and leather leggings with killer shoes and statement jewelry for drinks with the girls, or belted over a patterned sweater dress for work.

Military Style

Kristina at Pretty Shiny Sparkly announced a Bloggers Do It Better assignment commencing next Tuesday (November 22), and centered on Military Chic style.  I've been inspired by some of the looks in past Bloggers Do It Better assignments, though never participated since I didn't have a blog.  Now that I do, I figured I'd throw my hat into the ring and will be linking up with my version of military chic style next week.  Here's a mock-up of three potential outfits I have in mind -- the pieces aren't the same as I own, but it gives a general idea of my direction.  Come back next Tuesday to see which one I picked!  (Which is your favorite?)

What I Would Wear for Our Holiday Pictures

Esposito and I typically don't take holiday pictures/send out holiday cards, but for some reason, this year I think we just might! Lately, I'm loving tartan plaids - they bring so much holiday cheer! Here's what I'd love to wear for our holiday pictures, including a cute tartan scarf for each of our doggies (can't leave the kids out!).
