Favorite necklace




Blouse- The Limited  option  option  option
Blazer Gap  option  option
pants- Loft  option  option
necklace- Stella and Dot
bracelet- Ann Taylor  option  option
shoes- Payless similar    option
lips- Smashbox primrose
 
This necklace is one of my favorites. It's a Stella and Dot piece that can be worn 5 ways in various lengths and by attaching or detaching the three parts. I've managed to wear this piece with office attire and casual wear. It's versatility makes it one of my favorites.
 
I love the soft colors of this outfit polished off with a black blazer for the office. It can be tricky to dress in a conservative environment when you like to be different like me. I push the envelope here and there in small ways.

More summer touches

Happy Friday!
 
Today I'm sharing another look that I've made more summer appropriate with a bright colored blouse and peep toe booties. It's very hard to stay cool and look summer appropriate in an office that calls for conservative business wear, but with a few switches your basic dark suits can be worn year round. A bright colored blouse or accessory and lighter shoes are one of the easiest switches to make. What are your tricks for summer work wear?


Did you know that I have some great summer pieces listed in my Poshmark closet?  Come check them out and make me an offer- no reasonable offer is refused. I have a cute white Banana Republic fit and flare skirt that would make someone a great summer piece, a cute cardigan that would look great over this sundress, and this fabulous Loft leopard pencil skirt that all need a good home.

Cold shoulder, twists, and a link up


Hi everyone. I'm excited because today I'm doing something different. If you follow me, then you know that obviously I did something different with my hair. I rarely ever style it but in it's regular cut, but I decided to go a little boho and pull the "bangs" back in some twists.

But that's not all that's different. Today I'm cohosting Jersey Girl Texan Heart's link up! I've decided to step out and do something a little different with the blog. I do hope you will go visit Monica and follow her on her social channels. She is the sweetest girl with the cutest, most fun sense of style. She has always left me the most encouraging comments, and I love following her blog. I'm honored to be cohosting with her today. Be sure to link up below.



As for the hair, it's quite simple to do. Grab a small section of "bangs" or hair in the front on each side and twist them towards the back. Meet each twist in the middle at the crown and secure with a clear tiny rubber band.  Done.  Head out and have some fun.

Anyone miss me a couple of days last week? I missed posting a couple of days and I miss having time to reply to comments and interact with you all. Life...just...gets hectic.
 
We are having the chilliest spring ever, or at least that I remember. So here I am in layers and suede booties that I normally would not be sporting this time of year. I'm not complaining though- it's better than sweating. Ruffles are on trend for this spring so I'm glad I've kept this lightly ruffled layered tee (seen before here)  around through my many closet purges. Tees don't see much wear in my wardrobe so I keep pairing down to just a few basic ones, but I like having this one as an option because it's just a step above for when you need something a little more dressy than just a plain tee.
 
What elevated basics do you have around in your wardrobe? Leave me a comment, I'd love to know.

Floral blouse

I've tried to make this blouse a work appropriate piece before, but I've decided I like it with jeans better. It dresses them up but still has a casual vibe. And the blouse is too pretty to be hidden behind a blazer. Maybe I could try a cardigan, but I really like it on it's own.
 
Do you have any items of clothing that just didn't work one way but you loved another way?
