And a little boring. And I have a confession.

I broke the shopping ban that’s part of the remix. I’m still trying to stay true to the rest of the remix but when I put on one of the items (usually a top and usually a tee) I see a cardigan or skirt that would go well with it I almost cave and break the remix.

So here’s what I broke the ban on. J Crew, of course. I couldn’t stay away from the extra 30% off. I just went in to do some returns and came out with this.

I have no will power but it was too good of a deal to pass up. It was in-store on sale for $159.99. There’s still a size 8 in the camel at that price. I wish that color would have fit. (J Crew La Cantera, San Antonio, TX if you’re interested.) Then it was 30% off on top of that. I quickly did the math. I’m not stupid, maybe crazy and have no will-power. A fantastic gorgeous coat for $125 (w/tax) that I will wear only a handful of times a year but it’s a classic. Ugh, if only it had been in the camel in a 6.

And then…yes there’s more…I went in again to do another return (stupid 30 day return policy) and The Boy had grease on his shirt (!?!?!) from lunch. He actually asked if he could go find another shirt to buy, WHILE IN J CREW. WITH URBAN OUTFITTERS ACROSS THE ROAD!!! I was so proud of my guy. He found a black Jaspe polo all my himself. And it was only $14.99.

I have days 12, 13, 14 outfits coming up.

I’m still here and still remixing. I have had a busy week but have been trying to stay loyal to the remix. I did make a change/swap. Someone turned on the A/C in South Texas so I wasn’t well prepared with any long-sleeved casual wear (i.e.-tees).

Day 7…So I traded out the J Crew Fox Tee for a J Crew Perfect Fit Tee in Navy. We had a front blow through and it was a bit chilly.

Tee: J Crew Perfect Fit Tee
Skirt: JC Cypress Plaid Skirt
Boots: Steve Madden Inragee
Day 8…Office Visit
Tee: JC Lace Tee in Olive Moss
Sweater: JC Cashmere Cody
Jeans: GAP Curvy
Belt: JC
Shoes: Ann Taylor Perfect Patent Pump in Porcini (similar here)
Necklace: JC

Day 9…Office Visit (I didn’t feel comfortable in this outfit. I was very self-conscious about these pants/my legs/butt.)

Shirt: JC Factory Perfect Shirt
Pants: JC Bi-stretch Wool Minnie
Shoes: Ann Taylor
Necklace: JC Factory Pearls

Day 10…I forgot to take a picture but it was nothing to write about. It was the JC Imperial Tee with my Gap Boyfriend Jeans and my Wicked Good slippers. I just wanted comfort.

Day 11…Ladies Luncheon

Tank: JC Drapey Sequin Tank in Olive Moss 
Sweater: JC Cashmere Cody
Skirt: JC Silk Bubble Mini in Olive Moss
Boots: Steve Madden Inragee
Tights & Belt: JC

I have 6 items have I yet to wear in my remix.

Have great day!

The Cashmere Cody Cardigan that is.

We are having a family date day to celebrate The Boy’s Straight AAAAA’s. He’s been begging to go to this Brazilian steakhouse so we’ll be doing that after an afternoon movie. I’ve decided I may not want to put myself in a “meat coma” like I did on our anniversary two years ago so I may stick with the awesome salad bar and sneak a little piece here and there from Husband. The smell of beef made me nauseous for days.

Here’s Day 6…

Tee: J Crew Vintage Cotton Sequin Henley (Size S – A little snug in this size. I should have gotten the Medium.)
Caridgan: J Crew Cashmere Cody in Matisse Blue (Isn’t this color gorgeous?)
Jeans: GAP Curvy
Shoes: Ann Taylor Perfect Pump

I am not a nail person. I get pedi’s all the time but I have always had a bad habit of biting my nails. After I saw this gorgeous purple color by Chanel (Paradoxal), I had to have it. And my nails are thanking me for it. They are growing and I am not biting them. I broke on on the other hand so as soon as it grows a little longer I’ll get a manicure. I can’t wait!

Have a great weekend!

I organized my closet so that all of my remix pieces are right in front of me when I go to pick something out. While doing this I saw all the things that would go great with some of my remix pieces. Only 25 days to go.

Here’s Day 4 & 5…My days really are super-casual.

Top: J Crew Silk Tiered Cami
Jeans: J Crew Ankle Matchstick
Shoes: Steve Madden Trouser

Check me out…getting a little brave and adding an accessory.

J Crew Necklace

I was in my workout clothes for most of the day until I finally showered (I know “ewww” and “TMI”).

Blouse: J Crew Chiffon Cecelia Cami
Jeans: GAP Destructed Boyfriend
Shoes: GAP City Flat

Coming up…A possible family date day/night tomorrow.

Fitness: I’m still doing my best to be BFF’s with Jillian. I did Level 1 on Monday and switched it up to Level 2 on Tuesday. I like that level a lot more so I’m sticking with it for a while. I think Level 1 wasn’t as challenging and those stupid jumping jacks…ugh…hate them. I now have Husband using the DVD too! He realized his workout didn’t include cardio. I had a bad food day Wednesday and last night. I had a Coke…and Chik-Fil-A. I haven’t had a Coke in 3 weeks. It tasted salty. Odd, huh? I’ll be on the scale on Sunday and we’ll see what’s happened after 2 weeks. I am feeling better and I can see a little difference in my belly.

How are you doing?

So here’s Day 2. Very super casual with a tee, jean and barefoot.

Tee: J Crew Imperial Tee
Jeans: GAP Destructed Boyfriend
Belt: Lucky Brand

The I had to run some errands and added the cardi and shoes.

Cardigan: J Crew Factory Primrose Cardigan (Factory cardi is cotton not merino)
Shoes: Steve Madden Trouser

Day 3 – Had an appointment today so I’m dressy casual. (Is that a style of dressing?)

Shirt: J Crew Factory L/S Stretch Perfect Shirt
Jeans: GAP Curvy
(I couldn’t find my Essential Jeans **dirty** so I swapped these in. I’ll keep these in the rotation and leave out the Essential. I just wanted a basic dark jean to wear with heels. This pair isn’t too good for flats like my Essential but they’ll do.)
Heels: Ann Taylor Perfect Pump
Necklace: J Crew

I just wanted to share how great the shirt is with the Gray color of the J Crew Sunnie Pencil Skirt.

Have a great evening!
