Fairy Tale

Fall season, with its beautiful colors, always turns our everyday life into fairy tales. During this season, we never feel bored. We see colors in every direction, and we see changes everyday. When my hubby picked me up from work one day, we saw this beautiful street on its peak time and decided to snap a few photos. Just like that, no plan was the best plan.:)

Flow with Roses

I love summer--the sky is still so bright after work. Since my hubby and I met in summer time, our home is often filled with roses during this season of the year:)

This floral skirt from Loft is definitely one of my staple pieces for work. It has beautiful summer pattern and great bell shape, and is made so soft that it flows perfectly when I walk in it. When I wear it, I immediately feel like a real lady! It has been with me for many years and I love it as if I just bought it!

Fuchsia Peplum

I love summer not only because we really don’t get much of it here in MN, but also that summer is full of colors, and it even feels OK to bring bright colors to our relatively conservative work place. I actually bought this peplum top from New York Company over two years ago when peplum just started to become popular, and I am glad it stayed in this season.

This pencil skirt from Banana republic is not only professionally-looking, but also very soft and comfortable, I wear it almost all year around, just with different tops.

I am so excited to show off my arm candies, which I recently purchased from Fossil. They are not only with pretty looks, nice quality, but also made so easy to wear--I am sure girls as clumsy as I can do it ourselves in a second, without assistance from the hubbies:)

Lighten Up Your Work Day

Today I noticed something at work, the cafeteria door to the outside patio is actually open. This to me, means spring is here! I know it is April already, but in Minnesota, we had snow storms in April and May last year!

I still remember all the wooden tables and chairs underneath the thick piles of snow during the long winter, but now they will soon be occupied by people who have been eager to eat their lunch in the sunshine.

For a typical work day, I go with the business casual dress code. While dark colored pants are almost a necessity, I almost always try to brighten up the color a bit by throwing something cute in style or light in color, like the light-weight Abercrombie and Fitch cardigan, and the eye catching red silk cami that I got from express. Although high feels are more modern and chic, I often prefer wearing comfortable shoes so I can enjoy my routine walk after lunch.:)
