Light and bright

Going light and bright again with the business wear. It's my feeble attempt to make myself think it's not really 100 degrees outside. But it is and it's hot. Work should be cancelled for the summer.
 
Seriously, chartreuse can be a hard color to play with, but I love it paired with grey. Almost as much as my previous pairing of chartreus and cobalt. I could have chosen grey pumps with this, but I thought the cognac gave this outfit a little more interest. What are some of your favorite color pairings?

Instagram lately


 I haven't done an Instagram round up lately, so here are a few outfits that made Instagram and not the blog.

I think this first outfit is incredibly boring, but saved by the necklace and shoes.


 
top- old
blazer- thrifted
pants- JCP
shoes- Nordstrom
 
 
Chartreuse and navy pinstripes? Yes! I think this was the first time I added a necklace with this top because it has it's own embellishment, but the long necklace works.

 
Blazer- Gap
pants- Gap
blouse/necklace JCP
 
Again- just boring to me, saved by the necklace and shoes, although I probably would not repeat the necklace with this.
 
 
 
Blazer/ pants- The Limited
blouse- The Limited
shoes- TJMaxx
 
Cobalt! Need I say more.
 

Blazer/ pants- The Limited
blouse- JCP
shoes- Payless
 
That's a lot of navy. Maybe that was my brain's subconscious switch from black to navy for spring?

Chartreuse and grey

I tend to gravitate to the same color over and over for several days in a row. Thus chartreuse on Sunday and then again on Monday a few weeks ago. This outfit is composed of my spring wardrobe capsule picks. I gave up that experiment before I got around to wearing this, but it was nice to have an outfit already put together on stand by.
 
Here is another way I wore this blouse during the capsule.

Suprising color combo

I have to try really hard to find ways to wear this jacket apart from it's matching bottom so I was really surprised to see that it worked so well with the chartreuse top. Not so sure the fit of the overall outfit worked for me, but nonetheless, I like the color combo.

Happy Friday!! The days and weeks seem to get longer and busier and I'm exhausted. So happy it's Friday.

Sometimes you need a grab and go option for work that still looks professional and like you put some effort into it. That's when a matching suit comes in handy. I paired my black suit with the chartreuse top and leopard accents. I purposely put the matching suit in my capsule because I knew there would be days like this one where I didn't want to spend energy on creating an outfit. Fun accessories keep it from being boring.

Chartreuse and leopard



 
Blazer- Lord and Taylor  option  similar
blouse- JCPenney  option
skirt- Target  option
shoes- DSW  option  option
earrings option  option
 
A combination of chartreuse, navy, and white with a touch of leopard. Once again, this was inspired by an outfit I found on Pinterest.
 
I've touched on this before but I'd like some serious feedback. What do you think of 30x30 remixes or capsule wardrobes? My fall 30x30 got a good bit of response and interest, but I know some folks get bored with those sorts of things. I played with the idea of a winter capsule but didn't make a real commitment to it. I did create outfits from a core set of items through the winter but never listed them out or made a post of them. I think April would be a good month to do a Spring 30x30 but I have issues with just 30 items to take me through both work and casual weekend wear. I need a capsule of each type of clothing because my weekend wear can be so different from what's allowed at work. So I thought about just a 30 from 30 of work outfits, but that would take us through about 6 weeks. So then I decided that maybe I'd do a Spring Capsule April 1- June 20 that combines about 40-50 pieces of both casual and work wear. I said at the end of the 30x30 that I would not do this with any kind of commitment to a time frame, but I do like the challenge of coming up with new outfits. and I liked having them planned in advance. And I will not include shoes in my limited number of pieces. They are free range. My rules. What do you think? What would you like to see?
 
If I do this, then this is officially day 1 of my capsule because these pieces have made the list so far. And this is no April fool's joke. Seriously, what would you like to see here?
