and grey... I've been wearing a lot of grey again. I hope you are not tired of it. It's a great neutral alternative to black. I came up with this outfit based on an Instagram challenge prompt- sugar and cream. I really don't know that I would have ever put these pieces together otherwise, but I really like the outfit. Speaking of white- how do you keep whites looking good, especially a dry clean item like this blazer? I've taken to throwing it in the washing machine on delicate because dry cleaning doesn't really clean, but the more I wash it, the more the fabric tends to "pill". The neck and sleeve cuffs are disgusting too. I'll be looking to replace it soon, but would love some tips on how to keep up the next white blazer? Or is it just to be accepted that white items will be replaced more often?

A great purse or satchel in serenity is an easy way to add a touch of the color of the year to your wardrobe. I couldn't resist pairing this purse against the harder stellar blue and grey in my outfit. And who says you can't wear white in winter? I love this blazer as much for winter as I do summer. I ordered three pair of these pants from Loft during one of their holiday sales. So far I love them, but they are a heavier weight and I won't be able to wear them year round. Sad about that.

 

Don't forget that Savvy Southern Chic is now on Instagram. I'd love for you to follow me. You'll get a peeks of style, food, and maybe occasionally something crafty. I'd love to get back into scrapbooking this year. Do you have a hobby you've forsaken and would like to get back into this year?

Third in my "black and white" week is a white blazer and black pants with a black and white patterned top mixed in. I must say dressing in black and white makes for easy dressing. And I would wear this white blazer after Labor Day because I view this as more of a classic look than a seasonal look.

The easiest way to make your work attire feel like summer is to add a white blazer and or bright colors. I did both with this outfit. I was inspired by this outfit I found on pinterest. I made it more work appropriate for me by replacing jeans with trousers and went with a smaller statement necklace. Notice my belt? Remember I'm trying to change up my belts and not wear the same black or brown belt every day. I had gotten in a rut there. I was happy to find this metallic number along with another belt at the thrift store for $1.07.
