Happy Valentine’s Day!
14 Feb
Suit & Top – The Limited
This is what I wore on Valentine’s Day. I had a meeting of my professional organization and, since I’m the president, I like to look professional. Hence the suit. With pink.
After work Jason and I had a “date” to upgrade our iPhones and then have dinner at La Madia. I brought jeans to work so I could change into something a bit more casual.
Same suit jacket & top
Jeans – Gap Outlet
Shoes – Bandolino/DSW
Amazing how much a blazer really amps up a pair of jeans, right? To be honest, though, this top has never fit quite right (it’s definitely made for someone with a tiny waist and big boobs) and I keep thinking about trying to get it altered. Until then I just wear it under this jacket with kind of hides the weird fit.
Oh, and since these pictures don’t really show the pinstriping on the suit, here’s a close-up:
See? It’s pink! Hence the pink top.
Finally, how about some flowers for V-Day?
Actually, these flowers came on February 7th. That’s Jason’s birthday. Why was I getting flowers on his birthday? Well, he sent them to me with a card that said, “Forgot to send you flowers on your birthday so here are some on mine.”
Yeah, he’s a keeper.

This week is Bike to Work Week in Chicago and since I only live 1.5 miles from my office I do occasionally bike there. 
The great thing about a denim or jean jacket is that you can find one at literally every price point. 
Sometimes you see an outfit on someone and you think, “That works, but I don’t know why.”
