I wore this outfit to work the Monday after Halloween. I guess I subconsciously still had Halloween on my brain. I didn't even give the spooky holiday any thought when I went through my pinterest boards the night before and put this together. When I was completely dressed and about to walk out the door, it hit me that I should have worn this the week before because it looked like a Halloween outfit. What can I say? I'm known to be late. Halloween aside, the thought process that went into this was "rust orange top + black pants + beige blazer+ cap toe shoes + long gold necklace." You could create this look with any bright colored top, as seen here with red.

A beige blazer makes a good wardrobe workhorse. Check out my post Beige blazer- 4 ways for more ideas. I could probably do another "ways to wear it" post with different looks I've created since then.

Boyfriends and a blazer

There's something so chic about jeans and a blazer and with boyfriend jeans and a blazer it's comfy chic. I sometimes wish I had a different job because I would rock this look more often. But... no jeans at work for me and by the time the weekend comes, the blazers need a break. 

 

This was one of the GYPO fall challenge outfits. I was pleased at how this turned out with the camel blazer and gold flats. This knit blazer is the perfect match for jeans.

A flats day

I was inspired by Danielle of Goodwillista to put these pieces together. I think the shoes tie it all together. Even though I don't have cap toe pumps, I have flats, and sometimes, it's just a flat shoes kind of day. This is the same beige blazer in my beige blazer- 4 ways post. It's a such a versatile piece.

Some more basics paired in a ready-to-work combination. Do your clothes give you certain emotions or feelings? I felt confident and productive in this outfit, even with the flats. I like to wear flats for a break from time to time, but prefer a little heel because of my height and thick legs.  This was just a refreshing mix of basics, but I have to give credit for the idea to The Classy Cubicle for the idea.

In need of sweaters

 

Shirt- JCPenney

Sweater- Gap cable knit option

pants- TJMaxx

shoes- Ross

tote- gift

Worn Jan. 26, 2014

 

This has been the coldest winter thus far since I moved to my current location. All the others had been so mild, I had gotten rid of most of my sweaters. I have been in need of them this season. When I saw Caitlin at Southern Curls and Pearls in a white cable knit and red plaid, I knew that a white cable knit would be a good addition to my wardrobe.

 

This sweater that I'm wearing isn't a true cable knit, but I used rewards to get it free from Gap. The cable knits were sold out in my size. This one is really soft and comfy, so I'm happy, as long as it holds its shape.

 

And yes, same purse and same shoes as a couple of posts back. They are in constant rotation now. Actually, I tend to carry the same purse for a week or two (or longer) at the time. How often do you swap purses?

A blazer and a bird

 

Blazer- old option; sweater- Target

jeans- Levi's skinny

shoes- Ross option

Worn Jan. 19, 2014

 

Dressing for repeated cold days is beginning to get difficult because I'm not accustomed to it here. However, it did give me the change to create another look with the bird sweater. I layered a wool blazer over it with jeans and a statement necklace.

What's your favorite way to dress for the winter?
