When you are running late, reach for classics and solids. Add a statement necklace and you'll be set. I normally pick out my outfit the night before, but I was busy and tired last week, so I didn't. And of course I was running late the next morning, so I reached for this combo, and ... it worked. No matching and not much thought required.

1 Blouse- 4 Ways

When choosing printed or patterned blouses, I like to choose ones that have a couple of color options so that I can wear them multiple ways. Here are four ways I've worn this green printed blouse.

Worn May 31, 2014

 

I picked up this jacket for less than $25 on clearance at Macy's last month. A perfect addition for spring and summer. As much as I like green, I really don't have much of it in my closet, so this piece is a good addition for that reason also. It has little silver threads in it so I was prompted to pair it with my silver pumps. I also played up the black and white.

This is a bit different than what you normally see from me. I wore this outfit on a weekend getaway during which we went to a location just to take pictures and practice up on our photography skills. The hubby took these photos. People photos are not his strongest point and he is not going to spend a lot of time taking "outfit" photos, so I take what I can get. He was more interested in the windows on the building and the texture of the tree. Excuse me, this isn't about a tree. I love him anyway.

I have worn this blazer and these pants many times, but with a different shirt and differenct accessories, it feels refreshed. I love coming up with a new outfit from old pieces.

I have something weird going on with color balance on my camera in these pics. I suspect I forgot to reset it after a weekend of sightseeing and photo shoots the weekend before. Live and learn.

 

I saw this dark grey and mint combo in a pin on pinterest and just had to copy it. I could rotate this mint blazer and my coral one nonstop all summer.

I have worn this blouse with cobalt and with yellow before, but decided it would make a nice pop of color with navy. I like to keep my work outfits fun.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

I've got several coral/mint outfit ideas pinned on my boards, so I've been searching for a mint necklace. I picked this one up the other day at Forever 21. It works for a delicate look, but I think I need something a little bolder with this outfit. Oh well... what's a girl to do? Keep shopping!

I have been obsessed with black, white and a pop of color, and for a couple of days that color was hot pink. This outfit is a combined inspiration from J's Everyday fashion and a Banana Republic ad. I already had the skirt and when I purchased the shirt and shoes from BR, I knew that at least once they would be paired with the skirt. The jacket makes it more appropriate for my office environment.

This outfit was inspired by Shanna. I don't have an appropriate graphic tee for this look, so I went with an eyelet/embroidered floral top. It's hard to see the little flower detail. It looks plain in the photos. Nonetheless, it's a fun way to wear a midi skirt, bright blazer and striped shoes. 

 

Hope you had a great Memorial Day. We went on a little weekend getaway so now I'm rushing to get back into the regular swing of things. Still worth the getaway.
