It seems like we are in full on spring now, so I doubt I will be wearing a blanket scarf any more this season. I'm grateful we did have a few cold days during our winter and I got to wear outfits like this one. I  have my Ann Taylor tee/shell underneath, so the scarf is really the heaviest warmest layer. We have to use tricks like this in the south to layer. If I had worn a sweater, it would have been too much. 

It almost seems too late to share this outfit based on the weather we are having now, but maybe some of you are still having cold weather and you are looking to interject some color into the last of your winter wardrobe. A bright pencil skirt and colorful scarf are perfect ways to do that.

Hope you guys have a great week!

9 to 5 Style- boots

Welcome to 9 to 5 Style! The third  Monday of every month Jennie of A Pocketful of Polka Dots and I will showcase a theme featuring our individual takes on a professional look. Our aim is to inspire and show professional style does not have to mean boring and without personality. We hope you enjoy our 9 to 5 Style!

How did it get to be the third week of January already?! 

This month Jennie chose boots as our theme. If you work in a super casual office, then you can get away with boots a lot easier than if you work in a conservative environment. For a conservative environment, you need to choose a sleeker boot with a heel, and not too many buckles or hardware. The easiest way to wear boots to the office is with a skirt or dress.

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!

Adding interest with accessories

earrings- gift  option  option

 

Without this scarf, I think an outfit of a camel blazer, white blouse and brown skirt would be pretty boring. So I'm all for accessories. This scarf gives some color and interest to the outfit. I must admit, I probably wouldn't have come up with this on my own. There isn't a stitch of brown in the scarf, but with the deep burgundy and blues, it still works with brown. I was inspired by this pin and outfit created by Bridgette Raes. I went with burgundy earrings to tie in the scarf a little more.

 

How do you jazz up neutral pieces?

Mustard print skirt - four ways

This skirt is no longer available. I picked it up last season, but still love it. You may be intimidated by a pattern like this, but you can pretty much treat this one like a solid mustard skirt and pair it with a variety of tops. I was inspired by a pin I saw to pair it with cobalt. It was actually cool enough for my tall boots last weekend (at least with a skirt), so I pulled them out.

 

 

Here are the ways I wore this skirt last year:  here/ here/ and here

We had a bit of a cold snap this weekend and I woke up to temperatures of 37 degrees Sunday morning. I know many of you have been suffering far worse than that, but for south Georgia, that's cold. It forced me to come up with one more winter outfit so the boots came out. I previously tried to pull off this shirt and scarf combination with a blazer and pants but I think this works much better this way. You need to see the stripes to appreciate the pattern mix.

That's probably a cheesy post title, but I'm a little short on time. Why does losing that one hour make you feel like you lost a week and are suddenly behind? Actually, the time change was good for us. It was over 70 yesterday afternoon and we got lots of yard work done. We are ready for spring and ready for everything to blossom. But yard work meant no blog post until this morning so here I am rushing to get this up.

It was not quite as warm Saturday so I wore this on an outing. I've actually worn a version of the top/vest a couple of times and just haven't managed to get photos.

Other ways I've worn this vest:
