the work



{this look: she works hard for the money}




{i was having a hard time figuring out how best to wear my over-sized gray vintage-T to work whilst looking professional. as any receptionist with administrative powers must do, of course. so i took out a high-rise pencil skirt & tucked that baby in.
deets:
-gray embellished flowy blouse. urban outfitters.
-black pencil skirt. forever21.
-black pumps. by nine west from tj maxx.
-chandelier earrings. gifted.}




{for the how-to on the hair, go here. follow instructions but pull the bun up higher on your head.}



the food


{time for grogery shoping. i really dislike grocery shopping. really. so, using another oversized gray T, i dressed myself to feel good for the occasion at hand...}

 



{added bonus of the outfit- i found my behind! i knew i had one somewhere! but a word of caution regaring leggings: please make sure that (a) your shirt covers the crotch region <hence the layered black cami/gray T & (b) the leggings are not see-through. because as much as i love the thong song, it's not a pleasant reality. thank you!}




{don't be ashamed of flip-flops when you are going grocery shopping. they may not look the hippest, but the keep you safe & calm during the whole ordeal. i think it's because they make it easier to imagine you are on a beach somewhere eating fruit. yep, that's probably it.}

some more of the food

speaking of grocery shopping, if you are like me and really dislike it, get flustered, and feel panic attacks coming on after an hour in the store, i have some TIPS for you!

{1} go to allrecipes.com (or another recipes site of your choosing) when you have a free half-hour before your shopping trip.
{2} pick 4 recipes you would like to try that week.
{3} make a detailed meal plan (using google tasks possibly).
{4} print off recipes & meal plan.
{5} highlight ingredients you need to purchase.
{6} making a shopping list based on highlighted items, lunch items, & snack items you will eat.
{7} remember to factor in left-overs so you don't over-buy.


do you have a grocery shopping style?
