COOTD: WHERE'S ASHLEY?

Here I am!

Right HERE!

I didn't leave you all, I swear.

I've just been busier than my wee little self can handle.

That's a lie. I've been really fucking busy, but not to the point of not being able to have a life, just to the point of not having time to blog or even prep-posts to be blogged at a later date and time.

Please don't think that this is me complaining about being busy. In no way am I complaining. I am extremely fucking excited about being this busy!!! The new job is going well, I've just completed my first week. Rugby practice has started again--THANK GOD! I'm training a new guy at the liquor store/night job so that I can finally have what resembles a life, and not have to work 6 nights a week in addition to the day job I work. I've been a busy little bee, and it is A-Okay with me.

With that said: how about a COOTD post to make up for my absence?

Would you like that? I sure know that I would.

Here are a few outfits from my first week and second week (this week) of work (I forgot to take pictures on the other days, but I'll try to get better with it once I get into the new morning routine that I'll be starting this week--it includes the GYM in the AM before work. We'll see how this goes.)

// Top: Forever 21 // Pants: Banana Republic // Shoes: Flats from Alloy //

(who is excited about the new full length mirror at the new job/bathroom?? MEEEE)

// Top: unknown via Marshalls // Skirt: Gap // Shoes: Lands End Canvass //

// Top: H&M // Skirt: GAP // Tights: Hue //

 // Scarf: Vintage from my Uh-Uh // Tank: GAP // Jeans: GAP // Sandals (in hand): Target //

// Blazer: GAP // Shirt: Old Navy // Skirt: Marshalls (I think) // Shoes: Kenneth Cole //

 // Top: New York & Co // Scarf: Vintage from my Uh-Uh // Skirt: Marshalls // Shoes: Lands End Canvas (not pictured) //

I hope you all have a great weekend!!!
If you happen to be on the East Coast I hope you all are staying dry and that your neighborhoods aren't flooding!
Things are getting pretty crazy out here in MD!

Adios!

COOTD: BORING BEIGE?

 I think not.

I think Classy is more like it.

I'm always a fan of the black and beige combo.

My favorite color (or hue) scheme.
Creative I know.

I have been applying to jobs like a mad woman lately (if you're been paying attention to my tweets), and at this point in the post interview application process, I have been hearing nothing but positive responses. 
Now I'm in limbo/the waiting stage...
Hoping to high hell that the offers start coming in (relatively) soon. 
Cross your fingers for me!!!!

Happy Thursday!

Woo-freaking-Hoo for the 4 day work week this week!

The only benefit of working on Saturday is that it's a half day--

count yourselves lucky :) 

p.s. SexyMan spotted in the workplace today!

Looking forward to more on that one later...

COOTD COURTHOUSE ROUND-UP

This week at the courthouse was a bit sporadic for me.

A CRAZY police filled night on Tuesday, resulted in a long evening/morning for Wednesday... This morning I got the flat, and didn't even make it in, and tomorrow I'm off for pre-planned reasons.

I feel like such a bum.

Buuuutttttttt on the days that I did make it to the courthouse, and on the days that I managed/remembered to take photos, I sure as hell didn't look like a bum :)

You bet your ass!

I would like to admit that this COOTD caused a little bit of a twitter confusing-frenzy...

because it is NOT a dress :)

Instead its a combination outfit.

Skirt: Marshalls

Top: Vintage from my Uh-Uh's closet

Belt: Sale from GAP a few weeks ago

This outfit IS a dress :)

Dress: Sale from GAP a few weeks ago

Shoes: Lands End Canvas

Belt: Forever 21

Tights: Walmart

Cardigan: Old Navy

And that's all she wrote.
Lame I know.

COOTD HI HEEL :)

Nothing particularly special about today's outfit.
Just the 5inchers I picked up from the Lands End Canvas sale... which I highly recommend you check out.
These heels are COMFY COMFY!
I plan on picking up another pair in taupe soon!

p.s. I really need to find a better place to take my COOTD photos. My bathroom shots are starting to irk me.
