Top & Pants- Thrifted; Flats- DIY; Bracelets & Earrings- Joe Fresh

In my new job I'm working with clients 4/5 days so my attire must reflect that of a business environment.  I work from home on Fridays and because I'm not with clients or volunteers, I assume a more casual approach.  Today I decided to wear my thrifted bow top, which I bought over the holidays for only $2.99.  The top is a pale pink cotton with a denim like fabric on the bow and sleeves and the bow is outlined with a zipper track.  I kept the rest of the look simple with light brown trousers and my DIY sparkly flats and piled on Joe Fresh bracelets I bought at the grocery store last night while buying canned pumpkins for my cats (they're on a very expensive diet and the pumpkin is used as a filler...let's just say they hate it. On the plus side because they hate it, they're barely eating, which means they're bound to lose weight- right?)

{For those of you who were wondering if I was cold in my Heidi outfit, taking outfit pics was the only time I stepped outside all day- I'm what you call a winter hibernater.  I'm not outside for longer than 15 minutes during the months of December- March- I'm definitely not an outdoorsy type!}

I finally jumped on the nail polish strip bandwagon and tried out Sally Hansen's 'Laced Up' strips. Maybe it's just me and my impatience but they are not as simple as they promise to be.  They took 25 minutes to apply, they didn't properly fit my nails and the filing was proving useless so I ended up snipping the excess off with scissors.  I'm pretty low maintenance when it comes to my nails, if it takes longer than 10 minutes for an at-home mani than I've lost interest.  I do love the end result (even though cat hair has started to stick to the strips' edges!) but this is one nail polish trend I give a pass!

Now off to eat a waffle and then get my work day started!
