Completely Gratuitous

O.M.G. My day was so busy that I didn't get a chance to play in blog land and I am so missing you guys! One day?!?!?! Okay, it's settled, I am completely addicted to you all!

I did, however, find the time to snap a few shots at work before the boss came in {like QUICK} but had to wait until now to post. I found that it worked in my favor because I am loving the artsy patio shots in the afternoon sun. I hate posting outfit posts when I'm wearing something else...I dunno why. {I feel like a liar, that's why :}

I also have to finish the Happy Birthday Mom post but I'm finding it not an easy task ...and well, THIS is much more in my emotional grasp right now. {sorry mom, I love you :}


I am wishing our art handler would change the painting behind me. lol. I need a new background! {oh, and if it looks like I am touching the art, I am not :}








Sunglasses: Gucci
Short chain with round pendant: Gucci
Long chain: Vintage ~ Grandma's, wrapped twice
Earrings: Hoops, white gold
Makeup: Bare minerals {the best and easiest makeup in the world}

Dress: {dark grey with hot pink bike}AA Vital Industries on Etsy L.O.V.E. THIS DRESS. I can also bunch it up and wear it as a t-shirt with jeans. They didn't have a medium so I got the large because I was just too in love with it to pass it up and am SO happy I did because the medium would have been too form fitting for me.
Leggings: {black} AA
Blazer: {black} Vintage. I have had this blazer for ages but It was too long to fit any styles for a while ...but you gotta save classic design. It's really comfy and fully lined and has the smoothest material and the arms are narrow ...it's just overall a perfect fit.
Boots: {grey suede} Steve Madden {last year}...Thanks Sis!
