Polka dots, pinstripes and pearls

Happy Thanksgiving! It's time to bring on the turkey and pumpkin pie. I hope you have some time off to relax too. Our work always gives us the Friday after, and I'm beyond thankful for that extra day. If you do have to go back to work soon, then maybe this outfit will inspire you to play a little and relax your attire just a bit. I paired polka dots and pinstripes for a playful office look. Some faux pearls keep it polished.

Pinstripes and florals

I have not worn this pinstripe suit in a long time. It had gotten a little boring to me and the red dots on the cuffs always throw me off about styling it.

Upping the game with accessories

Lately I've felt like my clothes and outfits have been on repeat so I've been changing things up just a bit with accessories. I tend to go to red with this blazer because of the red polka dot cuffs, but I decided to add a pop of turquoise this time with the necklace. I love red and turquoise together. I recently wore this blazer and pants with yellow (cuffs down) and added a pop of turquoise with that outfit as well. Here are the same pieces with different shoes and accessories.
 
How do you change up the same ol' same ol' outfit?

How to wear a pale yellow blouse

How do you wear a pale yellow blouse? Really any way you like. I've paired it here with navy and a turquoise/ cobalt necklace, which totally brought this outfit to life. It was a little boring until  I added the necklace.
 
I've worn this blouse before with grey, mint, grey/black, and chartreuse. It would work well with hot pink too if you can be more creative and less conservative with your outfits.

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?

Basic changes

Remember this jacket and pants from the " just some basics" post? Basics like blazers and pants can be major workhorses in a wardrobe and can be worn over and over to create different looks. I changed the blouse and shoes (for booties)  and swapped the necklace for a scarf. I have a brand new outfit with just a few changes.

Where does time gooooo? I struggle to keep up with anything in my life now days. But  I do have good things going on, so I shouldn't complain. This top and bright jacket are a good thing. They are cheery and made the perfect pieces to keep me up on a tired Friday last week.

What picks you up?
