You stud you- Saturday Shopping

I first noticed studded items when these Sam Edelman bow flats caught my eye during the Nsale. Mind you, this isn't really a new trend. I had a few studded items 20-25 year ago. When you get old enough, you realize fashion trends just recycle. I digress. I don't see this trend exploding for fall, but it is around and it's nice to have a couple of pieces to add some "edge" to a look now and then, so I rounded up  over 20 studded items for your Saturday shopping, most under $100.

Olive and blue

Teal and orange

 

Cardigan- TJMaxx  option  option  option

tank- Loft  option  option

jeans- Loft

booties- JCP  option  option

necklace- JCrew Factory  option

bracelet- Kendra Scott

purse- thrifted- option  option

 

I love teal and orange for a fall combination. And yes, it's fall and I'm wearing a tank under that lightweight cardigan. I told you we had another hot spell, so this is my fall. It's real fall, not fantasy fall.

 

Hope your week is going well. We received some sad and disappointing news this week, so we could use your prayers.

I wore this outfit twice last week. It was just so easy to put together. Accessories take it  a notch above just jeans and a tee. The ankle booties are my nod to fall and that's about all I can do in the heat we still have. At least it did cool off enough to wear jeans. I hear we may have low 80s next week. I guess that's better than high 80s and 90.

 

Hope you had a great week. It has been a busy one for me, so I'm really looking forward to the weekend!

worn Jan. 24, 2015

I know that graphic sweaters and birds are not as popular as they used to be but I think they are still fun to wear. I've been waiting for an opportunity to pair mine with this plaid shirt. Saturday was that opportunity. I wore it with the jeans and my hiking shoes because I knew I would be on my feet for a few hours and needed comfort. Otherwise, booties would have been my footwear choice.

Worn Oct. 22, 2014 PM

 

I wore this to mid-week church service Wednesday night. When I come home from work, I like to put on shorts, sweats or pajamas and stay in them until the next morning. I have to really make myself dress and go out again on Wednesday evenings. This was as close to pajamas as I could get. It was comfortable but still appropriate for public.  It's the tout va bien graphic tee I wore a couple of weeks ago when it was hot, but the temps have cooled off so I was able to add a cardigan. I was inspired by this oufit by Love Lucy Girl. I'm getting more wear out of my sneakers this fall than I did in the summer.

It finally cooled off last week after we came home from our trip, so I was able to wear jeans again and my new plaid shirt. I have four other plaid shirts, but they are all flannel and it's still too hot for that. I have been on the lookout for a plaid that is not flannel. I finally scooped this one up from JCrew Factory during a sale. Really, what do I buy that's not on sale? Very little of anything in the clothing and jewelry department. I will admit I did pay full price for these booties, but I had rewards certificates so my out of pocket expense was a whole $9. These booties have been all over blogland and I'm sure that over the years I will get my money's worth out of them, even at their full cost.

One chambray shirt=three ways

 

We all know how versatile a denim or chambray shirt can be. I've owned this one for years, even before much thought was given to how popular a piece like this could be. Here are three ways I've worn my shirt.

worn June 4, 2014 PM

 

I have been wanting a pair of red shoes for quite some time. I spotted these online at Forever21 and put them on a wish list and watched closely. I finally gave in and ordered them last month after visiting the store and not finding them there. So far, so good. I've never had shoes from Forever 21 but I'm in love with these.

 

This outfit was inspired by Shanna. All I really needed when I saw it was the red shoes. I knew my anchor scarf would work perfectly.

worn May 1, 2014

I had a couple of days off last week and Thursday was the perfect day to wear my new slip on sneakers to run errands. I have not had sneakers, other than my running shoes, in years. I have fallen in love with this new trend. Finally comfortable shoes that are stylish and don't look like you are going to the gym. I paired them with a striped shirt for a little bit of a "sporty chic" look. I actually wanted to wear a different striped tee, but this is the one I found when I opened the dresser drawer.
