Look What I Got: Hard Earned Prabal Gurung

Dress: Prabal Gurung for Target | Shoes: Dolce Vita via Marshalls (similar) | 

Necklace: J. Crew Factory (worn, similar) | Sunnies: Betsey Johnson via Marshall's (worn, similar) | Bracelets: Groopdealz & C. Wonder (worn) | 

Earrings & Ring: Nissa Jewelry (giveaway win from Lipgloss & Crayons)

Getting this dress was quite a journey.  I trekked to two different Targets the weekend the collection debuted.  However, unbeknownst to me, not all stores had the full collection and it was sold out online.  I thought all was lost...since there was no way I was paying above retail on eBay.  Then, by chance, I saw Carly of Lipgloss and Crayons wearing the dress.  (OK, not by chance...I read her blog everyday).  I commented that I loved the dress and couldn't find it.  Well, Carly replied that she had an extra dress that she ordered online....IN MY SIZE!   It was fate.  Carly and I did a quick Paypal transaction and the dress was in the mail.  However, UPS then held my package hostage.  It took several angry phone calls with UPS call center folks, but the Scot was finally able to rescue my dress from the depths of a sketchy UPS facility.  And then immediately after, I won Carly's giveaway for some fabulous earrings and a ring.  With all my treats from Carly, I was able to duplicate her outfit exactly.....I promise I am not creepy.

And now it's time for the link up.

Friday's Fancies: Strawberry Kiwi

**Don't forget to check back later for my Weekend Sale Roundup!

The other day I decided to dress up like a bottle of Strawberry Kiwi Snapple.  (I previously wore a similar outfit here).

And if you were wondering, yeah I colorblocked at the office.  And not just any old colorblocking, NEON color blocking.  

I broke one of my cardinal office wear rules and wore flip flops to the office.  I know, I know.  I am a rebel, but I am ashamed.  My second office wear rule is NO LEGGINGS.  Please ladies, heed my cries.  Leggings have no place in the business casual office, or in a doctor's office, or in court.  

Ok, back on track with my flip flop faux pas.  I don't normally recommend wearing flip flops to the office, but it was 95 degrees!!  And I forgot to change shoes after I took the dog for a walk.  It's a good thing I remembered to bring the dog back inside before leaving for work.

Stuff I Wore: Look, I'm Doing It! (Colorblocking that is)

This post is so trendy.  Not only am I colorblocking, I'm pink and red colorblocking.  And, oh yeah, those are leopard print t-straps you see.  As you can probably guess, this is what I wore on Valentine's Day.

I was seriously hesitant to do the whole pink and red thing.  I was always taught that you don't wear those two colors together.  But I figured even people that hadn't gotten the message would let me have this one on Valentine's Day.

And to go from the office to the bar that night, I traded out the skirt for some red denim and added a blazer.

And the Scot got me Victoria's Secret Bombshell for V-day.  It's my favorite perfume, but I've been surviving on samples and the little stocking stuffer sizes.  I swear he is reading this blog.  

Shoesday: Colorblocked Shoes

This post was inspired by Jessica Simpson's Bendie Heels.  I first spied these in Marshall's a few weeks ago.  I think they're a season or two old, but that doesn't make them any less fabulous.  The only thing stopped me from buying them was their complete impracticality.

So, I found some colorblocked shoes that fit better into my life.
I love this first look because it contains my new favorite color combo: mint and coral.

I've been drooling over these Simply Vera flats at Kohl's for a few weeks.  I'm patiently waiting for them to go further on sale.  I refuse to pay $50 for shoes at Kohl's.  And I've decided that orange and purple look good together.  Just get me on my purple Vespa and send me down to Boca to be with like-minded people.
