Anyone miss me a couple of days last week? I missed posting a couple of days and I miss having time to reply to comments and interact with you all. Life...just...gets hectic.

 

We are having the chilliest spring ever, or at least that I remember. So here I am in layers and suede booties that I normally would not be sporting this time of year. I'm not complaining though- it's better than sweating. Ruffles are on trend for this spring so I'm glad I've kept this lightly ruffled layered tee (seen before here)  around through my many closet purges. Tees don't see much wear in my wardrobe so I keep pairing down to just a few basic ones, but I like having this one as an option because it's just a step above for when you need something a little more dressy than just a plain tee.

 

What elevated basics do you have around in your wardrobe? Leave me a comment, I'd love to know.

Our little cold snap gave me a chance to wear this faux fur scarf I picked up after Christmas from Banana Republic, or should I say ordered online. I live nowhere close enough to "pick up" anything. Thank goodness for the mail, Fed Ex and UPS, even though I sometimes curse them for damaging my stuff.

 

I was inspired by Glistening Ambition to wear these pieces together. Her cardigan has fur attached, but it was still inspiration enough to layer my scarf with my cardigan.

We had a slight dip in the temps a couple of weeks ago. I went out for my morning run and it was in the 40's. I thought I could get away with wearing this on a quick shopping trip but by the time I dressed and left the house, the temps had risen back up to the high 60s/70 and I was roasting in this. I also didn't plan on shopping for me, just Christmas gifts for others. But I found a great sale on some slim leg pants and just had to try them on. I don't recommend wearing this many layers and boots if you are going shopping and will be trying on clothes. Just sayin.

I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend. It's back to work today. And I dread it. It's always hard to change gears and get back into the work routine after being off several days.

 

I have a love/hate relationship with the color red. But it plays well with leopard and I like this particular shade of red in this blazer, so why not pair the two?

What's more comfortable for running errands on a Sunday afternoon that boyfriend jeans and a cozy lightweight  sweater?  Maybe your pajamas or sweats or workout clothes, but folks, that's not an outfit. It really bugs me to see women in the grocery store in work out clothes when they obviously haven't worked out in a couple of years and they are not on their way to or from the gym. Regardless of your size, there are better ways to dress yourself.  Rant over.

 

 I almost returned this sweater because it's slightly oversized with a curved hem and I really need one that's more professional so I can wear it to work and get more wear out of it. But this one was so comfy, I decided to keep it.

Orange you glad... it's fall? it's almost Friday? Cheesy title, I know. I sometimes struggle to come up with a catchy title or really anything to say. I have been told by a reader that they like my blog because I don't ramble about a lot of unrelated things and get right to the outfit details. So I guess it's a good thing I don't always have a lot to say.

 

I got this cardigan a couple of years ago and love to wear it each fall. I've paired it with black and polka dots before and with navy. This is a first with grey and leopard, and I love this combination.
