Moody Style: Office Casual

I haven’t had a chance to post too many outfits lately because I’ve been living in either suits for work while I traveling, workout clothes for my runs, and my pajamas while I’ve been working from home.  Yesterday, I finally made it back to the office, after a two-week hiatus and I was actually happy to be there.  In my previous job, I often wished I could work from home or not even go to work at all.  Back then - calling in sick came in very handy.  I’m happy to say that since I started my job last July, I’ve been very pleased. I genuinely love the people that I work with and my job duties are currently in line with my current career goals.  I’m just overall pretty happy, despite the fact that I don’t get to post here on a regular basis.  Are any of you having love fest with your job like I am? Let me know in the comments.

Current Mood – Top 3

I’ve been trying to cut back on my spending lately and it has been a huge challenge.  One way for me to accomplish this task is to avoid the malls and to stay of  some of my favorite stores.  The temptation is definitely there, but I realize that have to really evaluate what I need and don’t need in my closet.  That being said, I can still think about my dream closet and all of the goodies that I would love to have. Anyways, here are my top 3 items from Anthropologie for the month of February (sorry…this is a late wish list).  Do any of you have any favorites that you can’t live without this month?  What’s on your wish list?
