I finally got around to wearing the hot pink pencil skirt I put in my spring capsule. I can't believe how quickly a month went by! It's already May now and summer will be quickly approaching.  I guess this has become another little outfit formula for me- black/ white on top + a colorful bottom. You could use this with pants, casual shorts outfits, or any style of outfit.
Do you see the cute little peep toe pumps? A co-worker gave them to me! We wear the same size shoe and she brought me 7 pairs of shoes that she cannot wear because she really needs a narrow shoes and once she wears a pair twice she decides she can't wear them. Free shoes?! Yes please.

I last wore this top with black pants and a colorful blazer:

Raining on my parade



 
Jacket- Sears (old)  option
blouse- Loft via Poshmark   option  option  option
pants- Loft
necklace- gift
shoes- Payless   option  option

I try not to complain, especially not here, but life is raining on my parade right now. I'm not going into great detail but I'm beating myself up over something I feel like I could have done better last week. I know that the experience will ultimately be good and this is how we learn, but I'm having a frustrating and painful learning curve right now.
 
And it rained (literally) the first couple of days this week, but I didn't let it stop the outfit pics. I picked up my favorite butterfly umbrella that was a perfect backdrop to this butterfly top and went to work in the drizzle.  I threw this blazer in the mix of the capsule because I really needed to challenge myself to wear it in ways differently than I had been. I've always gone to brown with it, but I'm loving it with this top.
 
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

I had the perfect option for these shoes saved for you and they have sold out! I found a couple of other options for you. Oh the woes of fashion blogging, lol. And in other woes, I sometimes have no shade to take photos in at the time I need to take the photos. I guess I should start experimenting with full sun again. It can be done, but I so much prefer shade. So... sometimes you get peeks of the edge of the garage door.

Thanks for entertaining my menial complaints. There is so much more to life.

And just in case you are wondering, this isn't a capsule outfit. It's a Sunday outfit. I break from the capsule for casual and non business dress on the weekends. This outfit was inspired by this one. I made it a spring/summer version.
