Sapsuckers for March Madness

Thoughts on a Friday

This week, when my 3 year old insisted on not wearing his diaper to school I was overcome with joy. I then proceeded to tell everyone I saw at work, including a client.


Sick of a cabinet filled with mismatched glasses, I finally splurged on a set of Riedel wine glasses. The very night they arrived, my husband broke one and we are back where we started. This made me cry.

A 3 hour time difference is actually a lot when you are now in charge of answering all legal questions from the California office. This also delays my evening wine drinking, which is a problem.

It is March 20, and it is snowing. And today is the day I decided to get the first pedicure I've had in 3 months. Just in time to shove my feet back into snow boots.

I let my 3 year old watch so much you tube that for his birthday, he is fixated on some 'Christmas train' from some video shot by a parent calling their child 'J-Funk'. I would pay any amount of money to locate said train.

Client Meeting: March Edition

                                         

A client meeting in NYC is always a good excuse for my favorite work tote, but it can be tricky when it comes to shoes and outerwear. This particular Wednesday, its about 50 in NYC which means I'd sweat in anything heavier than the J.Crew Regent blazer (Im a sweater, and I walk insanely fast). My trusty umbrella is tucked inside my bag, as are a pair of flats just in case.

Top Edition

Spring tops exist in 3 categories for me: client days, regular work days, and party days. I like to be able to go from one event to another without an outfit change in between, so my wardrobe really needs to work seamlessly across functions.

Client Basics: navy, black and white

I love basic neutrals with a classic pattern under a jacket paired with fitted skirts for client meetings

Work Days: color and patterns

J.Crew sleeveless tops pair perfectly under cardigans and blazers for a typical day in the office

Spring Fling: prints, colors and shapes

tunic style tops work with skinny white jeans and heels for my favorite bridal or baby shower and brunch look
