Happy Friday! It has gotten quite chilly over the past week, we even had some snow on Tuesday morning.  Pretty soon I'm going to have to start wearing my real coat.  As you can see I repeated my outfit from Saturday, but no one at work had seen it so I figured why not! I also stayed true to my word (from yesterday) and wore a couple skirts this week!

I'm looking forward to this weekend. Tonight I'm headed to my aunts for a massage and sleepover in exchange for helping her with her website.  Then I'll probably head to Marshalls at some point to shop for my next Project Fab posts! Super excited for these upcoming ones!

It's getting chilly out there! I hope everyone had a lovely first week of Fall. I enjoyed being able to wear only a sweater with no coat, for now. We better enjoy this in between weather while we can.  This was an interesting week. On Wednesday I was stuck working at home because train service to Grand Central was suspended due to a power failure.  It couldn't have happened on a better day, though. It was my sister's birthday so I was able to have dinner with my family to celebrate. The day before that my twin cousins celebrated their 18th birthday, that makes me feel so old (I'm 7 years older than them!) And pretty soon I'll be a quarter of a century old...time flies. Lots of birthday talk today, ha ha.

Unfortunately trains are going to be crazy for up to three weeks because of the power outage.  So I won't be able to go into the office until it's fixed.  I did not go in yesterday but you'll notice there is an outfit there. That's because that is what I planned on wearing on Wednesday (I got dressed Wednesday, drove to the train station and drove home) and then was going to wear yesterday so I figured I'd leave it since I had the photo. ;)\

Monday I posted my outfit for the RewardStyle party so today I'm sharing some photos from the actual party! It was a lot of fun, Lydia and I met handbag designer Melanie of Mel Boteri and also caught up with Nnenna.  I even was brave and said hi to Margaret of Shine by Three who I've been following for years.

I even spotted us on Instagram! Ha ha

Welcome to part 2 of my Marshalls Project Fab posts!  The item featured here is my new Mother skirt. I don't know why I was drawn to this skirt, because it's not something I would normally wear, but it was love at first sight and at only $25 I had to have it!  I decided to style it with more classic pieces for it's first outing, but hopefully as I wear it more I'll get more adventurous (perhaps with some ankle booties and an over-sized sweater?)

I always love hunting for gems at Marshalls, you really never know what you will find. The clearance section is always my first stop at the store, it's where I find most of my favorite pieces.  Then I cycle through the rest of the store after that.  This skirt is definitely one of those gems, it retailed for $178 and I paid a measly $25!  What have been some of your best clearance finds?

At the end of today I will officially be on vacation! No worrying about work until the 29th (but I'm sure I'll be checking work emails anyway) when I'm back in the office.  I won't be bringing my computer with me but I can't completely cut myself off for the week so I'll be keeping up with blogs at night on my iPad, though I might not comment.  I have posts prepared for the week so you'll be entertained and when I get back I'll hopefully have outfit posts if I can get some family members to take photos. I'm taking my tripod but am not sure I'll feel confident enough to use it in public.  Sunday is going to be the crazy day with a ton of extended family coming for the day and staying overnight.  Some are staying until Tuesday and then it will just be me, my youngest brother, my parents and my aunt and uncle until Saturday! Make sure to keep an eye on my instagram (closet_fashion) because I'm sure I'll be posting a lot on it!

P.S. I just love that I'm the model for my Monday necklace (see product page here), woohoo!

What a heat wave we've been having!  Even in these barely there outfits I was super hot walking to and from the train this week.  Other than that everything was good.  A nice, non-stressful week. I definitely need those every once in a while.  Last night was my company's 5 year anniversary so there was a big party. It was supposed to go until 2, but I obviously couldn't stay that long because I had to take a train home.  I am probably still sleeping as this goes live, thank goodness for working from home on Fridays. I can get up at 9 and just start working.

Confession: I have not worn this outfit... yet. But I couldn't wait to show you this gorgeous new bag from Linger Rose. My bag collection was in desperate need of an evening clutch so this filled that void. It is by Danielle Nicole, one of the designers Linger Rose carries, and is made of faux metallic lizard and has geometric piecing details on the flap. I love how different it is and the quality is great, I love the texture of it.  Now I just need to find a real occasion to wear it!
