Summer is officially over.....well according to my company.  Our office observed Summer Hours from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend.  Many of you were in envy when you read my tweets announcing my weekend started at 1pm on Friday.  It's back to business, and back to reality that we're just in the home stretch of 2012, only 4 months to go!

  1. No, you can't talk about the end of the year. It's impossible, since we've *just* seen the ball drop in NYC. >:(

    With my nostalgia aside, you look gorgeous! This look can easily transition from the office to a holiday party - and still be the center of attention. That skirt fits you flawlessly.

  3. Love this classic look. The sweater set is gorgeous as well as the skirt. Can you believe summer is officially over? It sure doesn't feel like it though!

  4. This is probably one of my fave looks Bess....polished enough for work yet can be really fun for some after-work cocktails!

  6. summer certainly feels like it extends all the way to october here in texas :/ hehe. great look :D very well put together! i don't think i have any animal prints in my closet. and that's probably a good thing because if i were to try and pair it with anything, i'd probably look like a hot mess lol!

  46. Your outfit looks very classy. Skirt fab and the chanel bling well what can I say. Can I borrow? Do you loan out by the day? Am begining to think that you could turn a garbage bag into something stylish!

    ReplyDelete
  47. I really like your multi-strand necklace and that skirt! The cardigan is great for indecisive fall weather too. :)

    I think summer work schedules are such a great idea and think every company should have one. The place I work now did every other Friday off if you worked 9 hours M-F.
