Coffee Beans and Bobby Pins

That time I had .2 seconds to throw myself together..

July 12, 2012

If you’ve read the “About me” page, you know my fiance is in medical school and if you know much about medical school- you know its not fun. As he studies for Boards, every second is important during the day for study time, so when I got home from work and he said he didn’t feel like eating at home, I had about .2 seconds to throw something casual enough for a quick dinner on. Earlier that day, I had worn the skirt to work with a blouse and heels (too dressy for a casual dinner), so I just threw on a simple v-neck t, necklace, some simple flip-flops and I was ready to roll.

::Shirt- J.crew (similiar here), Skirt Target, Necklace and boyfriend watch (Francesca’s) , flip flops Jcrew (here), bracelets (Forever 21), Purse $428 retail, $250 eBay, (Similar colors here)::
Ill show how I styled this skirt for a work environment soon!

    I can't imagine how tough med school would be, your fiance must be one tough cookie – and with a great support system, you can tell you really adore him!
