A little while ago I mentioned that you need a navy striped top in your closet. Here is the proof: 7 ways I've worn this top. And I could certainly keep going.

Navy dot top- Work to weekend

I'm featuring a navy polka dot top for work to weekend looks. I used to almost exclusively wear this top for work, but decided to use it for some casual looks in my GYPO Spring Capsule. 

4 Ways to Wear a Faux Fur Stole

The faux fur stole can be a fun piece to have in your closet. I grabbed one at the end of the 2016 season on clearance. They haven't been the most popular, over the top item, but you do see them here and there. I think they will always be a classic in some ways. So if you have seen them and been curious about how to wear them, here are four ways I wore mine this winter.

Work to weekend- shooties

Happy Wednesday! Today I'm sharing how I've worn a pair of shoes for both work and weekends. I typically don't wear the same shoes to work that I wear on the weekends. We are not allowed to wear open toe shoes (some peep toes are allowed) or sandals of any kind to work, so that limits me to pumps, dress flats and maybe dressy booties in the winter. I'm not a  "pumps with jeans" kind of girl and during the summer, I'm putting my sandals and open toe shoes to use on the weekends and giving the pumps a break. 

10 pieces 10 outfits summer work capsule

I love the idea of 10x10 challenges, or 7x7, or 30x30. I sometimes pick a number for myself just to challenge myself and get out of a rut. Even if I don't follow through with the whole idea of wearing only those 10 or so pieces for 10 or so days, it helps me create new outfits and have some outfits on standy by for when I don't won't to think about what to wear.

I recently created a ten piece work capsule from my closet to help me get through the last days of summer. I did not include shoes. Some people do, but I love shoes and think they can change the whole look and vibe of an outfit just like accessories so I don't limit myself on shoes in a capsule.

Below are the ten pieces I chose plus the outfits. Some items are exact and some are similar to the ones in my closet.

Work to Play- One piece two ways

 

 

I did a post a while back on how to wear two pieces two ways- work and play.    I decided to do a similar post with these outfits. Both outfits feature the same striped sailor sweater. This sweater works well for work with a pencil skirt and blazer. (I've also worn it HERE with plaid pants and a blazer.)

Work to play: 2 pieces 2 ways

 

I love having pieces that can be worn multiple ways and in multiple settings. Today we are going to talk about taking pieces from work to play, specifically this striped top and mint statement necklace. I'll  also point out a few things that make a piece more versatile.

I love to look back at how I have styled certain pieces that I have worn many times. Here is a look at 8 ways I've worn this JCrew Factory pencil skirt. A versatile pencil skirt will take you season to season.

Polka dot blazer three ways

 

I saw the JCrew polka dot Regent blazer on line and thought it would be a fun piece to have. I mean, it's a polka dot blazer! I like to have at least three ways to wear an item in mind before I buy it so I thought I'd create three looks for you with this blazer.

 

Two of these looks would be great for the office and one is casual. 

 

1. Throw it on over a shirtdress and add a fun stripe pump for a little print mixing. It would be cute over this print shirtdress too.

 

2. Get a little more print mixing on by pairing it with a oxford stripe shirt.

 

3. Throw it over a graphic tee with some boyfriend jeans for a casual look.

 

How would you wear it? It would be great with pops of color too, but I stuck to monochromatic looks here.

1 skirt- 5 ways

We are going to have weather in the 70s and 80s this week, so I'm thinking about skirts. This grey one is a favorite of mine so I decided to round up ways I've worn it for you. Here are five ways:

Apparently I like wearing the polka dot popover and the black booties with this skirt? Did you notice each had been paired with it twice? Oh, and the black blazer.  If a formula works, go with it. You don't have to make drastic changes to come up with a new outfit.

 

I would have made a collage for side by side comparisons, but Picmonkey isn't cooperating. Can anyone suggest a program or templates for collages?

5 ways to wear a faux fur vest

The faux fur vest is a piece that intimidates many. But it doesn't have to be that way. It's a matter of finding what works for you. I don't care for heavy thick "hairy" looking vest, but I snatched this one up on clearance four years ago and I haven't looked back. It works for me. Whatever your preference in a vest, here are five ways to wear it.

 

 

1. Over a sweater

2. With a sweater dress

3. With black

4. With plaid and jeans

5. With a pencil skirt and booties
