OOTWW

If you’re new to my blog, welcome!

Each week I feature an outfit of the work week post showing you what I wore to work every day. It’s become a fairly easy task since I pick out my clothes every Sunday evening and have them ready for the work week in advance. The less thinking in the morning I have to do, the better. Plus it helps me each week to not wear the same outfit too many times. I’ve been known to wear out sweaters pretty quickly from wearing them almost on a daily basis. Eeek! No more of that here.

I didn’t put much thought into my outfits last week for no real good reason. I find it hard to dress for fall (layering) and everything I’m wearing is black. Ugh.

This is my outfit of the work week from October 4th to the 8th. Click the image to enlarge it to see where all of my items are from. You can view my OOTWW archives too. Have a good day all!

Favorite outfits of summer

Favorite outfits I’ve worn all summer long.

Left to right: Grey vneck with skirt |  The “J Crew look-a-like” outfit |  Orange top paired with black shorts |  Grey top, white pants |  Anthro shirt and blue cardi.

I honestly love posting my outfit of the work week as it motivates me to shop my own closet and pair together clothes that I never thought would work, and get into accessorizing more. It’s definitely helpful for someone as clueless as I am about fashion. That and the fact that I got a bunch of FANTASTIC ideas from the wonderful J at J’s Everyday Fashions. I probably need to branch out of flats and into some wedges. I’m going to find it very difficult to layer clothing so it’s not as bulky on me, during the fall and winter. That’s when things get out of hand for me, and I fall off the fashion-wagon. I need help!

KQC Straightener

I did a review on a curling iron (Part I, Part II) from flatironexperts.com a while back. I guess it was successful as they sent me a straightener to review as well! This KQC hair ceramic straightener is from flatironexperts as welll.

I haven’t felt confident about a hair straightener in a long time. My 3 year old CHI caught on fire and I replaced it with a fake GHD (which I thought was authentic), it was then replaced by another straightener I received to review.

This one feels more like my CHI used to. You know the noise when you clamp down on your hair and it makes a “pop” closing noise? This is going to sound weird, but it sounds like a higher quality than my other 2 straighteners. It’s not as flimsy and the clamping handles don’t get super hot.

Product modeling shots. Shooting photos in natural sunlight is definitely way better and more vibrant than artificial lighting. I need to remember this.

Check out the lighting on this closeup. Fire Engine red plates.

No gaps in this straightener! Much sleeker looking than a bold colored straightener. Looks more expensive, doesn’t it? So far so good. Been using it for two weeks straight, and you can clearly see my straight hair in my OOTD posts where my hair is always straight. Give it a quick sweep over your hair and poof — you have sleek straight locks.

Thanks flatironexperts for letting me review this product! I loveeeeeeeeeeeee it.
