Pink vest




Sleeveless blazer- Banana Republic  option  option
floral blouse- The Limited
pants- Belk  option option
shoes- TJMaxx  option
bracelet- Charmed Stacks  option
 
Even though the shades of pinks differ from the blouse to the vest, I was pleasantly surprised and pleased with how this outfit turned out.  I love vests or sleeveless blazers but struggle with styling them because my favorite looks are to go sleeveless but I can't do that for work.
 
I'm also wearing the House of Harlow necklace again from my Rocksbox. It's a really pretty piece and I'm contemplating purchasing this one.
 
Hope you have a great weekend.

Upping the game with accessories

Lately I've felt like my clothes and outfits have been on repeat so I've been changing things up just a bit with accessories. I tend to go to red with this blazer because of the red polka dot cuffs, but I decided to add a pop of turquoise this time with the necklace. I love red and turquoise together. I recently wore this blazer and pants with yellow (cuffs down) and added a pop of turquoise with that outfit as well. Here are the same pieces with different shoes and accessories.
 
How do you change up the same ol' same ol' outfit?

Layering is tricky

Layering a button up shirt under a sweater is something that I have yet to master. I love the look on others but always feel like it adds way to much bulk around the middle to my short torso. It really has everything to do with what you are trying to layer. In my mind, these pieces would work, but in reality they didn't. Even though I like the color scheme of this outfit, I doubt I will ever repeat it. The shirt underneath is too bulky and the sweater is too thin. The shirt would work with a chunkier looser sweater and a thinner smoother shirt would work with this sweater. So, it really does come down to which pieces you are trying to layer.
 
I've also read about putting a tank between the two shirts for a smoother fit, but I've not tried it. I think it would be too uncomfortable. Have you tried it? Do you have any layering tips to share? I'd love to hear them.
 
By the way, did you catch a sneak peek of these shoes on Instagram last week?

There's just something about camel and navy that make it a classic winter combination. Add plaid to the mix and it's definitely screaming winter. These pieces made for a comfy and cozy, yet polished office look. It was a great way to start this week on Monday. But I'm still glad today is Friday.
 
It's supposed to rain tomorrow so I guess we are looking forward to another weekend indoors cleaning and organizing. Funny how a new year brings that on.

How do you decide what to wear? Do you keep a running list of "outfits" at least in your head, or do you go into the closet each day and just see what works? I try to shop now with a rule of three- a piece has to work with other items in my closet to create at least three outfits or have three ways to wear it. This means I've at least thought ahead about individual pieces. And sometimes I sit down and create mini capsules with 10-20 pieces so when life gets really busy, I can just look at that list, pull the pieces and go. This outfit was on one of those capsule lists I created last year, but I never got around to wearing it. Sometimes I don't really need that list, but it's always good to have a back up.
