Fashion Friday #11

Hi everyone! Guess where I’m writing this post from? My cube? Nope. Not this girl. I am actually sitting at home resting on the couch. Why, you ask? Oh you know, because I didn’t leave work until 11:45 p.m.  last night. Yes I said p.m. Meaning I worked six extra hours. Ugh! But, it did mean I got to sleep in for two extra hours this morning and leave two hours early. Plus I still get some overtime, so it’s not too bad! Also, my team really needed my help with a new business proposal and all of the senior level staff stayed late too. Sometimes you just gotta take one for the team- literally!

So anyway, I need to get a few things finished around the apartment before the official start of my weekend, so I will keep this post brief. First things first though, let’s get to today’s Fashion Friday outfit!

T-shirt: Nordstrom Rack

Skirt: Urban Outfitters

Shoes: Nordstrom Rack

I actually had a really cute new maxi dress that I planned to wear today with a jean jacket, but as soon as I stepped outside for my morning run I knew that wasn’t happening. I don’t know what the weather is like near you, but in DC it is hot. Like, seriously, unbearably hot. I was sweating my face off just walking to the metro! Therefore, I figured a long maxi dress and a jean jacket would have been horrible. Maybe next week!

Edited to add: Sheesh I just looked at the actual temperature on my phone. 104 and feels like 112?! Is this a joke?

Ah! Soooo hot!

Anyway, I have a lot on the agenda for this afternoon so I’d better sign off! My friend Catrina is coming down from New York so I need to do paint my nails, vacuum, and take out the trash. Plus I have three bananas that are on their last legs, so I’m looking to do some baking this afternoon. I promise to share the recipe if it turns out well!

Have a great weekend!
