Burgundy, black and camel

All I want to wear this fall and winter to work are my camel blazer or burgundy blazer and grey pants. So here's the camel blazer again.

Half yearly sale picks- Saturday shopping

If you haven't had your fill of shopping before Christmas, there are lots of after Christmas and year-end sales going on now, including the Nordstrom half-yearly sale.  I find this to be a good time to stock up on basics and try a few trends on the cheap. Here are a few of my picks:




Half yearly sale picks
 
Women's Sam Edelman Shelby Split Shaft Bootie • Sam Edelman • $89.90
Petite Women's Caslon Zip Back High/low Tunic Sweater • $39.90
Women's Socialite Maddie Rib Knit Cowl Shift Dress • Socialite • $29.40
Women's Bp. Faux Pearl & Crystal Necklace • BP • $12.49
Women's Sarto By Franco Sarto 'Faye' Over The Knee Boot • $161.37
Women's Ten Sixty Sherman Velvet Tee • Ten Sixty Sherman • $20.98
Women's Cristabelle Crystal & Faux Pearl Multristrand Necklace • $41.40
Women's Bp. 'Autumn' Plaid Scarf • BP • $9.98
Women's Bp. Cable Knit Infinity Scarf • BP • $9.98
Women's Blanknyc 'Easy Rider' Faux Leather Moto Jacket • Blank NYC • $59.90


Those Sam Edelman booties would be totally acceptable at the office and my current go to out of the office outfit is leggings and a tunic, so it's a great time to pick up another tunic sweater.  I have the plaid blanket scarf (seen here) and I just picked up the knit infinity scarf (less than $10!). The pop of mustard is going to be a much needed pick me up for my winter closet.  Even though the holidays are almost over, a velvet tee would make a great piece for those other upcoming special events or even Valentine's Day. If you don't want red or green, give this black off shoulder version a try.

If you're looking for a classic go to accessory for work, get a faux pearl necklace. I wear mine all the time.  I also received a Blanknyc jacket from the hubs for Christmas. If the sale jacket is as soft and comfy as mine, I say snatch it up!

Hope you've had a blessed holiday season. I'll keep this short so you can get back to shopping or relaxing or both.  HAPPY NEW YEAR!

bracelet- made by me  option  option
 
As much as I love color, sometimes it's nice to just tone it down and wear a monochrome neutral outfit. In this case, it's grey. I added a little soft color with a delicate bracelet stack that I made.
 
I'm so glad it's Friday. How about you? I'm short on words again. I'm tired. Maybe we'll talk more next week, okay?

Subtle hints

bracelet- Ann Taylor  option option option
 
I actually wore this outfit to work the week of July 4th. It has subtle hints of red, white and blue. Actually its tan, burgundy and navy, but the subtle hints are still there. It's just appropriate for any time of the year and doesn't scream "patriotic holiday". Even if it did, I'd still wear it because I like red, white and blue any time of the year.

Blushing

Blushing... more like flushing in this ridiculous heat that's going on right now. Here I am remixing the blush blazer and floral blouse from The Limited. I've loved having these pieces in my wardrobe this spring. My coworker keeps telling me I need a pair of blush heels to go with all the pink I've worn this year, but I don't like to get too matchy matchy. I've also been grabbing this necklace as a go to all spring. Do you reach for the same thing over and over, or for a season?

Still wearing cardigans

Yes, it's beginning to get hot outside and I'm still wearing cardigans. By mid-week, it's freezing in my office, so this extra layer is very welcomed. I pretty much copied this look straight from the Limited's site using their blouse and my own pants and cardigan.
 
Happy Friday!
