I purchased this blouse last year at TJMaxx and it became part of my spring wardrobe capsule. I wore it a couple of ways, to include wearing it with these pants and shoes and a mint blazer. It was pretty much the same outfit, just a different blazer. One piece can make such a difference. I received compliments on this all day long on this outfit. I don't remember anyone noticing last year.

I don't normally post on Saturday or this late, but I'm getting a bit behind and I'm about to start the GYPO Summer challenge. I decided to go ahead and do an extra post since I hope to be taking more pictures than normal for the next three weeks. Don't worry, if you follow for the work outfits, and I assume you do unless you happened upon one of my rare posts like this one, I  will still be posting my work wear. I decided to do the challenge to have some easy go to ideas for the weekend. Sometimes, I get stuck when it comes to casual off duty wear.
 
I based this outfit off one of the 2014 summer formulas- prints shorts, bright tank, fedora, wedges. I substituted my flat sandals for the wedges.

I have worn this blouse a couple of times with coordinating blazers but it's so cute, it needed a chance to shine on it's own. I paired it with cobalt pants for a church outfit. Minus a blazer, this wouldn't go over well at work but I loved it this way for church or for a lunch or party maybe. The back has a cute little tie detail that always gets covered by blazer.


Here are the last two ways I wore the top:

Coral, cobalt, mint, chevron and floral!!??? How much more goodness and how many more trends can you pack into one garment? I saw this blouse at TJMaxx a few weeks ago. It pretty much called my name from the rack, but I ignored it and left it there. I kept thinking about it and decided that it would mix with four or five other items in my closet so I went back and purchased it. It was then that I realized that in addition to all my favorite spring colors, this blouse had chevron and florals in the print. Score!
 
In celebration of spring, I wore this blouse with my coral blazer on Friday. For some reason the lighting is making my blazer look more of a salmon pink color, but trust me, it's coral. And this top is so cute. The top has a keyhole back with ties to tie a little bow at the neckline. I must wear it sometime without a blazer so it can be seen.

In need of sweaters

pants- TJMaxx
shoes- Ross

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?

Another outfit inspired by my Pinterest board. My outfit is not exactly the same, but the color scheme was the inspiration. I'm learning to tag my pins by color or item so I can use the search feature to easily find them or find inspiration if I'm trying to decide how to style a particular item. How do you use Pinterest?

Oh and the cute tote- a Christmas gift from my hubby. It's from a local shop.
