spring cleaning...or something like it.

maybe i should call it summer shopping? BUT since our summer is over ~ yes, i realize it's only august 27th ~ i decided to clean out my closet and make room for the fall stuff. AND since i'm starting a new job in a few weeks, i also thought it was an appropriate time to revamp the wardrobe, seeing as how it's sort of 'back to school' time. i'm loving the colors out for fall right now...jewel tones look great on everyone. here are a few pieces i picked up at express:

the sweater on the left, i got in a really pretty blueish color called venetian teal. the pink satin shirt goes with a cute grey and pink pinstripe vest and pencil skirt. i also picked up some new dress slacks. express editor pants are the BEST dress slacks ever and they're on sale right now ~ buy one, get the 2nd pair half off! i also found this great INC sweater from macys:

and let's NOT forget about the shoes! look at these adorable tuxedo shoes i snagged from macys. and these cute cut out pumps, also from macys, in brown.

i just LOVE back to school shopping!
