Last week's weather (wind and rain) didn't lend itself to taking outfit photos. You will have to make do with an Instagram photo and a collage of the outfit. It's a very simple formula I pulled from Classy Yet Trendy's book - The Workwear Capsule. I haven't created a spring work capsule per say, I'm just using the outfits for formulas and tweaking it to work for me. Any coordinating color scheme would work for this- white button up+ trousers+ cardigan+ scarf+ pumps. Go with a neutral cardigan and any scarf in your closet will work. I just happened to want to brighten up my look with a butterfly scarf and snakeskin pumps for a little more interest and texture.

Lots of old pieces in this outfit, but put together in a new way. I wore the blouse and scarf together this way a couple of years ago. You can't see them in the photos, but the pants actually have a faint pinstripe in them, so I've got some subtle pattern mixing going on. You can treat pinstripes just like solid neutrals.

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 photo shoot to do Saturday afternoon and the temps had dipped back down, so I had the chance to wear a few more of my winter favs before we are full on into spring. I got this faux fur pom pom beanie from Target a couple of months ago on clearance. It was one of those fun items I wanted but didn't want to spend a lot on, so I'm glad I waited.

 

I promise there is a pom pom up there. It's blending in with the background. Learn from my mistakes and take note of this photo tip: when choosing a location for your blog photos, make sure your outfit doesn't blend into the background. Likewise, make sure it doesn't clash either.

Yes,  I did just wear these pants last week. I often repeat work wear pieces like that. Soft grey and camel is a combination I've been seeing a lot of last winter and this year. I had to try it for myself before winter got away. I like it. Oh, and aren't the buttons in the back of the sweater adorable?

 

Excuse the fake smiles and crappy expressions on my face. I was really tired when I took these photos after work and a storm was coming. Sometimes it's really hard to get motivated to take pics of myself when I really just want to put on pajamas and crawl into bed. Thankfully, tomorrow is Friday.
