Casual Friday + Moments of the Week



 STYLE TIP: When wearing a top with a solid color, 
consider a long necklace to add some interest. 

Here I am laughing because a nice homeless man just asked me for a piece of gum (I wasn't laughing because he wanted gum.  That is a common need.  
I was laughing because I felt so awkward with him waiting for me to 
open my purse for gum while I took a photo).


A fitted blazer over a loose top provides a nice contrast. 

 Jeans - Hudson (Purchase HERE)
Blazer - Gibson (similar HERE)
Blouse - Frenchi (Purchase HERE)
Clutch - Fossil
Necklace - Nordstrom
Watch - Michael Kors (Purchase HERE)
Bracelets - Nordstrom and F21
Cheesy Grin - All me


Moments of the Week:
Pure Bliss Moment 


The 3 P's: Pedicures, Pool time and Prosecco.  
A girlfriend and I relaxing + having fun. 

Not-So-Blissful Moment
The same boy who commented on pink eye + constipation came up to me the other day and the following conversation took place:

Boy: "How old are you?"

Foolish School Psych: "How old do you think I am?"

Boy: "49?"

Foolish School Psych: Just walks away.  

Proud Moment
So this is what I saw when I went to get coffee in my building the other day:


Seriously...who leaves delicious peanut butter cookies out by the coffee?  This is not right.  Either this person is:
A) super nice + thoughtful and sees nothing wrong with the occasional cookie
B) super mean + just likes to watch people struggle to resist the delicious cookie temptation.

Well I may have taken a picture and stared at the cookies for a little while, but I did not eat one.  So that means I win!*

Have a great weekend friends!! 

XO - Marion

PS - Aprils "Trend of the Month Challenge" announced soon!

*I see nothing wrong with the occasional cookie.  I just didn't need a cookie at 6:00 a.m. :)

Love this look. What I love about Marion, I would wear her look to work and otherwise. Very classy and work appropiate, hip, without trying to look over the top styled. Perfect!! Funny about the kid. He does keep us entertained!!! Ummm, cookies!!!!

Love your casual Friday look! (Well ok, I love all your looks.) I'm wearing denim trousers today and feel positively rebellious (jeans are NOT common in my workplace, but I see nothing wrong with denim trousers darnit!).

I find that office food temptations are the WORST! It's so hard to resist.

I brought in a bunch of easter candy this week though and put it in the coffee area, and love to watch it disappear. The more they eat, the less I will!

That rosy colour just glows on you...and I love the wide-leg jeans. Looks amazing!

Love the look, again! I love blazers. I need to try pairing it with a flowy shirt. Great tip. Have a fab weekend!

Angie said...

I seriously look forward to Fridays specifically for your Moments of the Week! Love it! Well, and because Friday happy hour is always better than weekday happy hour.

And so jealous that you have now posted more than one photo pool side...not that I'm counting...or stalking.

Happy Friday lovely!

i tried to post a comment this morning while i was working out but it was too much of a struggle. this week has been filled with so much crap food brought in by drug reps, nurses celebrating things, etc!! I've had to fill myself with oatmeal in the early morning and hummus in the mid-morning to keep away from eating everything. But I had self-control 4/5 days!! I'm so impressed with myself that I should really reward myself with some custard. yummmmm!! cant wait to see what the trend of the month is!

Diet Pills Review Phen375 does 3 things in one, and, will make you feel good about yourself, thus this is a four in one reason to choose Phen375 over other dieting plans, shakes, or pills. Phen375 prevents the transformation of carbs into fatty acid. Phen375 inhibits our hunger. Phen375 tells us that we aren't even hungry. And Phen375 diet pills review makes us feel better about ourselves, due to the accelerating of our metabolic process. Thus four good reasons to give Phen375 a go. And if this actually still isn't sufficient to convince you to switch to Phen375, then simply think about the cost, for less than $2,50 a day, certainly you do not need more reasons! Simply look at the facts and you'll realize that you'd be foolish not to try Phen375. Producers are very confident, they even offer you a cash back guarantee! Most people think Phentermine is a -cure-all' for their weight problem. Some even take it just to lose a few pounds. Unbelievable! Phentermine is intended for obesity sufferers with a BMI of at least 27 points. As you keep at a healthy weight these fat cells go along happily doing their thing.
