A little more white







White linen blazer- Calvin Klein via Belk
cowl neck top- Banana Republic (old)  option  option
skirt- Nordstrom on sale  option
shoes- Payless  option
necklace- online boutique  option
 
I will definitely be wearing white after Labor Day, but maybe not this blazer. I wore this outfit to work last week. This is a linen blazer, so I may retire it for the season once the calendar says fall, but I will continue to wear my heavier weight white blazer and white jeans. (This blazer is vanilla, not bright white, so it's a good choice for year round wear.)
 
While red, white and blue is definitely a summer color combo, I find it to be neutral enough to wear year round.  I'm pairing my blazer with my red skirt purchased during the Nsale. (FYi, it's on sale for cheaper than the Nsale price. I'm beginning to think  either I suck at Nsale shopping or it's the sale is a rip off. This is the second piece this has happened with.)  You've already seen one outfit with it here. This is definitely going to be a year round piece for me. It will pair nicely with a sweater and boots this winter.

NSale work wear picks

As promised on Saturday, here is a round up of some Nordstrom Anniversary sale business professional work pieces. (See some casual picks here.) These will make great investments as they can be mixed and matched with lot of things and worn many ways. The tops are all available in multiple colors and prints, and most everything else (pants, skirts, shoes) have multiple color options. (I wouldn't necessarily mix and match the color choices shown here, but all pieces come in colors they will work well with items you probably already have.)

If you have yet to get started shopping, don't lose hope. It looks like some things will become available again, you just have to watch closely.


Still not sure how to wear some of these pieces? Here's how I'd pair a few of these items:

Halogen long side slit cardigan+ embroidered inset blouse + Halogen straight leg trouser + Ivanka Trump loafer + Michael Kors tote

1 skirt- 5 ways

We are going to have weather in the 70s and 80s this week, so I'm thinking about skirts. This grey one is a favorite of mine so I decided to round up ways I've worn it for you. Here are five ways:











 
Apparently I like wearing the polka dot popover and the black booties with this skirt? Did you notice each had been paired with it twice? Oh, and the black blazer.  If a formula works, go with it. You don't have to make drastic changes to come up with a new outfit.
 
I would have made a collage for side by side comparisons, but Picmonkey isn't cooperating. Can anyone suggest a program or templates for collages?

Yellow

Blazer- Dress Barn  option  option
skirt- thrifted  option  option
boots- shoes.com  option  option  option
earrings- Limited  similar
worn Feb. 1, 2016
 
This is how I started my work week- in an outfit of black and grey with a pop of yellow against it. I like yellow but if you don't, you could pick any bright colored necklace as a substitute. I'm finishing the work week at the moment in pajamas. I took the day off to do some other necessary things. Hope you have a great weekend!

Dots on dots



 
sweater- Tillys  option   option   option
shirt- JCrew factory  option  option
skirt- thrifted  option  option
tights- Target  similar  option
booties- TJMaxx  option  option   option
necklace- chicos (thrifted)  option  option
bracelet- Forever21  option  option
 
This outfit was so much fun. I'll admit I got a few strange stares at the polka dot tights. How dare a forty-something year old woman dress like that? LOL. But I loved it and felt good in it all day. This outfit has been in my head since last winter and combines three of my favorite pieces- mustard cardigan, polka dot popover and this skirt. I'm glad I finally wore it.  If this popover ever returns to JCrew factory, snatch it up. Here are 9 ways I've worn it. It just won't stop.
