It stormed almost every evening last week. I was in a race with a storm to get these photos taken. It definitely shows in the lighting.
 
This cobalt blazer was one of the pieces I missed during my spring capsule experiment. It's definitely a keeper in my closet. You know if you miss wearing something, then you must love it. The trick is not to overwear it. That was the good thing about the capsule. Some neglected items got some attention and I found some things that I probably should get rid of because they didn't even get much attention during the capsule.

Happy Monday! No, I'm not usually this excited for Monday and I have a busy week ahead, so I'm just trying to psych myself up for it.

I've managed to get a little behind again on posts. I wore this Sunday a week ago. I expected to be hot in the sweater, but I survived.  I'd loved to have paired this with a different shoe, a light grey maybe, but I had to work with the closet I've got.

Here are two other ways I've worn this skirt. I think I've worn it more than this but I'm drawing a blank. It's one of my favorite skirts.

I made last Friday the final official day of my spring capsule. I made it through two months with 37 pieces but was too bored to make it the last 21 days til summer. So this is the last outfit of the capsule and completely unplanned. It was not on the list I made but a last minute decision. I still have outfits I can create and wear with those 37 pieces but I was itching to wear some other items.
 
This is just a simple black and white scheme. I don't think it needs any other explanation.

I was staring blankly at the screen trying to come up with something to say. I searched for something about this outfit that I liked and came up with chandelier earrings. You have seen this particular pair many times. I love this style of earring. With my hair longer, I'm beginning to need to wear larger earrings or else they are not even seen. What's your favorite style of earring? Hoop, chandelier, stud?

Bangs and bobby pins

I got aggravated with my bangs (or that section that used to be but has grown out now) hanging in my face at work so I dug around in  my purse and found a bobby pin. I pulled them back, over, twisted a little and inserted the bobby pin. What's your favorite way to pin bangs?
 
This is another version of what I've worn before, replacing  the cardigan with a blazer. Not very creative, but I was dressed for the day.
