You can tell a few things from my photos and posts. 1- it's been a bit breezy in the afternoons (photo 3) . 2- I'm still a little behind on posting last months outfits. 3- I really like these nude shoes from Payless.

 

These shoes are like my summer go to version of black pumps in the winter. I'm sure the black pumps appreciate the break.

 

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!

Belted cardigan

I have decided that the belted cardigan look is not for me. I've tried it a couple of other times and it just does not flatter. I have a short torso and belting a cardigan tends to emphasize that and make me look thicker. If a cardigan doesn't lay nice and smooth it adds more rolls and bulges. Who wants that?

 

I could have ditched this post but I decided to share it anyway because the outfit idea might still work for someone else. It might also help someone evaluate what works or doesn't work for them and why. I love this look on others. 

 

What fashion trend or practice works or doesn't work for you?

While I was away on travel last month, I pulled these pieces from my spring capsule to create a business casual look. It's very similar to the version with the beige pants, but the pants are actually different colors. And the shoes are different. So.. similar but different.

I have worn this blouse a couple of times with coordinating blazers but it's so cute, it needed a chance to shine on it's own. I paired it with cobalt pants for a church outfit. Minus a blazer, this wouldn't go over well at work but I loved it this way for church or for a lunch or party maybe. The back has a cute little tie detail that always gets covered by blazer.

Here are the last two ways I wore the top:

My favorite outfits so far from my capsule have been the ones with light pastel spring colors. Of course I still like bright colors, but this palette has been so refreshing and relaxing. This outfit was inspired by this one. 

 

Hope you are having a fabulous week.
