So glad it's time to break out the spring/summer dresses, even though I still cover up with a cardigan or jacket. Even though most of this ensemble came from Old Navy, I bought these pieces at different times, with no idea of wearing them together. Love it when something does come together this easily.

I had a couple of days off last week and Thursday was the perfect day to wear my new slip on sneakers to run errands. I have not had sneakers, other than my running shoes, in years. I have fallen in love with this new trend. Finally comfortable shoes that are stylish and don't look like you are going to the gym. I paired them with a striped shirt for a little bit of a "sporty chic" look. I actually wanted to wear a different striped tee, but this is the one I found when I opened the dresser drawer.

When this blouse first hit the Loft site, it went on my wishlist. I finally gave in and purchased it during a sale. It will add a little more variety to my work wardrobe. It's fun but still conservative enough for work.

I've recently added pin it buttons to make it easier for you to pin ideas you like. Just hover over the photos.

Breaking the rules

 

 

 Blouse- Limited

Jeans- Loft option

shoes- Target

Worn April 27, 2014 pm

 

Are there really any rules anymore when it comes to fashion? I think there are a few as to what is appropriate for age or body type, but the "wearing white" one is certainly a rule to be broken.  I have searched for a couple of years for a pair of white jeans that fit and finally found the answer in a pair from Loft. Since the search took so long, you can bet I'm not waiting until Memorial Day to start wearing them.

 

You saw this blouse a couple of days ago. I wore this outfit the same day. I just dressed down a bit for evening services.

 

I've got to point out a few details here that I love- the pleat on the back of the shirt. And the shoes- two trends in one. D'orsay flats with laser cut detail. Laser cuts and preforations are trendy this year again.

Have a great week! Linking here:

Coral blazer - 4 ways

 

Hello and Happy Monday. Last year, I invested in a coral blazer. Coral is always a popular spring and summer color, and can be carried into fall with the right pieces. Here are four ways I've worn my coral blazer. (I've got other ways in mind- navy, mint- I'm sure I'll come up with more.)

I love to wear a lady like outfit on Sunday, and this one does it for me. At least it makes me feel ladylike. I wore this to church on Sunday. I purchased this skirt last year on a whim but it's gotten its share of wear.

Worn April 25, 2014

 

I've been looking to add florals to my wardrobe and found this blouse 50% off at JCPenney. I also had a $10 coupon, so it was a pretty good deal. I still haven't found the "perfect" floral blouse but this one will play well with many other pieces and for the price, I couldn't leave it behind. I'm making it work appropriate with a blazer.

 

I'm still looking for a floral blazer too. What's on your current wish list?

Conservative and fun? Can the two be found in one thing? Sure! Pair a conservative power suit with a fun polka dot blouse, and you've got both. I've been wearing a navy version of this on repeat for over a year, so I was excited to do this with my black polka dot popover.

In need of a 'do

 

Jacket- Cato/old option

blouse- Banana Republic option

pants- JCPenney option option

bracelet- JCPenney option

shoes- old option option

worn April 22, 2014

 

I'm excited that I have an appointment with my stylist today. As you can see from the photos, I am in need of a "hair do". Really, color. (Is "hair do" a southern thing? I more appropriately refer to cut, color, or style, but have heard that term all my life.) The grey is showing along the part. I'm growing my hair out a little and it is even more obvious when I need color now. And I'm not afraid to admit I color my hair. I always have, even before I had grey. And I like to experiment with color. Look at yesterday's remix post and you'll see a variety of color in my hair.

 

Now on to the outfi- I really like yellow and navy together and I like the way this jacket worked with the color of these pants. Sometimes these pants can be difficult to coordinate, even though they are fairly neutral. I was inspired by this outfit by extrapetite.com.

A pencil skirt is one of those must have wardrobe items. They flatter everyone and can be worn so many ways. Don't limit yourself to neutrals either. A fun bright pencil skirt can be versatile too. Here are six ways I wear my red pencil skirt.

I've mentioned that I'm trying to add more spring like items to my wardrobe. I'd like to have a few more floral pieces and I popped into JCPenney with a $10 coupon in hand. I found a floral shirt and this one. Plaid! and pastel! I fell in love. I wore this to visit family Easter weekend. It was still a little cool out so I paired it with jeans.
