Brighten my day





Dress- old  option  option  option
Jacket- Old Navy  option  option
shoes- Old Navy (old)  option   option   option   option
necklace- online boutique  option  option
earrings- Jane.com option  option  option
 
A sunny yellow dress and some bright statement jewelry are just the thing to brighten my day. I was inspired by Molly to wear my denim jacket and wedges with this dress. I usually wear this as a dressier look, but I like the casual vibe going on here. It was cool enough for the jacket but I added a necklace instead of a scarf because I knew it would get pretty warm in the afternoon.
 
Who has inspired you lately? and what brightens your day?

Do you ever feel like you struggle to come up with new outfits? I sure do. And for some reason, Spring always seems to be the biggest challenge. I added a few new pieces last spring, but I feel like I can't possibly come up with new ways to wear them. I did a spring capsule wardrobe last year and found out that a capsule can get really boring. And I still struggled with outfits.  Maybe I'm limiting my choices because I've gained a few pounds this year and I feel like some of my pencil skirts and pants aren't the best fit right now. I don't know. Anyway, this top was one of last year's purchases- seen here just a few days shy of a year ago. I like it with the contrast of grey and the pops of yellow here.

Can't please them all

The title of this post was the result of a comment I just received. Someone said they had not been enjoying the pants and sensible shoes looks I've been posting and hope to see more skirts. It doesn't really bother me, it just goes to show- you can't please them all. It also shows that this person may only be looking at pics and not reading. If you truly follow and read, you know I've had tendonitis in my foot and high heels cause it to flare up so I've been wearing flats for a couple of weeks to heal my foot. I'm not a fan of flats either but I share what I REALLY wear, not a fairy tale made up outfit just for a blog post. You've probably also heard me say before that some days at work aren't real practical for skirts and I've had a lot of those days lately. I have to save skirts for Sundays during these times.
 
Speaking of Sundays, I wore this to church a couple of weeks ago. I've had this dress for four years. Sometimes plain solids get boring to me. I was inspired by Extra Petite to add a scarf. I've also had the idea for pops of pink since last year. Finally got to put the two together. I'm also wanting to wear this with my floral pumps, but you know that tendonitis thing is in the way right now.
 
Here's how I've worn this in the past:
 
 
If you are new to my blog, welcome! I share mostly work related attire with some casual and semi- casual thrown in here and there. Thanks for stopping by and following.

I'm still working through this capsule thing I asked about yesterday. I think I have decided to do a capsule from now until June 20. I have chosen 38 work wear pieces. I'm still coming up with casual items and what rules I will subject myself too. Are any you doing any challenges for Spring or even some Spring closet cleaning? Check out Merrick's closet clean out advice.
 
These are three more of the 38 items. I'll try to post the whole capsule of items in one post soon. Lemon yellow, or any form of yellow, is such a popular color this year. I'm glad I invested in this blouse last year. And I'm loving how it looks with grey and black.

I talked about this already this week -my subconscious development of a go to winter formula. I did it again. This time I was reminded by the Loft website and their pairing of tweed pants with a yellow blouse of my own yellow sweater.
 
I hope you have a great weekend.

Stripes and sunshine




Sweater- Forever21 option option;
pants- JCPenney
necklace/earrings- ??? option option
shoes- Belks
Worn Jan. 27, 2014
 
I normally wear this sweater with more navy or red, so I decided it was time to mix it up with grey and a pop of yellow. Temps went into the 70s Monday before the "storm" arrived this week so it was nice to have a little sunshine before all the cold and grey.
 
I'm having a brain freeze from all the cold and I can't remember wear I got this necklace. It was either at Belk or JCPenney (it's not like we have a large choice of stores here).

Hello yellow





Dress- Belk's
Purse- Payless
Shoes- Zappos
Worn May 5, 2012

I love the look of vintage dresses. I wore this to a friend's wedding the first of the month. It was purchased on clearance last summer for $25 bucks. I purchased it when I was shopping for my niece's wedding but didn't wear it then becauese I was afraid I would clash with the rest of the family in the photos, but I was in love with the dress so I kept it, and for $25 bucks, why not? Since I was on a vintage kick, I wore some of my (near) vintage bracelets, including a gold coin bracelet. Remember those?
