I recently added two new pieces to my wardrobe that have been on a forever wish list- red trousers and an olive blouse that's appropriate for work. I have an olive shirt but it's more on the casual side.  I was perusing the clearance section at Target recently and came across this one. I've also updated the pants wardrobe and decided to add a red pair to the collection. I think they will be a lot of fun.
 
I don't know what was going on with these photos. My camera was having a hard time focusing. It was just a couple of days before Matthew rolled in and we were beginning to have a lot of wind and rain. The hubby speculated that because the bushes behind me were moving so much the camera didn't know what to focus on. I didn't take time to try manual focus because that's really difficult when you are using a remote. I have yet to have a chance to take photos again since I took these so I'm hoping my camera and lens are okay.

Or button down? Which is it? I think some use it interchangeably now. I think the correct use is button down for men's shirts with button down collars. A button up is a man or woman's shirt that buttons up the front. Either way, mine is wildy patterned and bright.
 
I've worn this shirt before under a sweater:
 
 
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are having a great week!

I'm over a week into my 30x30 challenge and I haven't repeated clothing items or outfits yet (other than shoes). The remixing will likely start tomorrow, so stay tuned.
 
This is a very simple outfit, but sometimes it's good enough. Simple gets overlooked when you are trying to come up with a great outfit to blog about, but really works well. Sweater + slacks+ layered necklace+pumps= dressed for work.

This could be a daily work formula for me- sweater over button up, trousers. Add a blazer for another layer. It's laid back and yet still professional. I love these pointed toe wedges too. I've worn them once before. I like having a lower heel dress shoe in my closet for the days when I just don't feel like heels.

Dress, work, repeat



Blazer/trousers- Gap;
sweater- Target
Worn Feb. 11, 2014
 
Sometimes I feel like dressing for work is one big cycle of dress, work, repeat...dress, work, repeat. And when I get tired and uninspired, I have no clue what to wear. To make it worse, I decided to wear this blazer/trouser combo but wanted to wear a different top with it. I feel like I have exhausted all the possibilities and I feel a little limited by the red dots on the sleeves of the blazer. I always worry about pairing something with this that might clash. And I have to turn the cuffs up because the sleeves are too long.
 
So... I searched Pinterest for navy outfits and came up with teal as a nice match for navy. So I wore this sweater with this set and it worked, but I don't find it anything to brag about. Dress, work, repeat.
