I have always worn this blouse tied into a bow, but I saw the Nordstrom scarf tie blouse styled with the ties hanging down and a light bulb came on in my head. I could wear this blouse that way. Now why didn't I think of that?
 
I also want to rant a bit. I'll admit I'm a bit impatient and like to get right to the point. Lately I've noticed some of the bloggers I follow filling their posts with 8 or 9 or more photos. It seems like it takes forever to get to the details. I think that's too many photos. Your dress, outfit, whatever doesn't look any different in photo 8 than it did in photo 1. If you are doing detail shots of accessories or little details, then okay, maybe 5 photos. Eight or nine just seems as if you like yourself a little too much. What are your thoughts?

Yesterday I showed you an outfit worn on the same date as this one. I wore the other one out that evening and this outfit to work. I've been trying to spice up work attire without going overboard and have decided that a fun accessory like this pink belt is the trick.  A fun print like snakeskin also helps.

Brights with camo

I'll have to admit that a camo skirt left me a little stumped on how to style it beyond black and chambray. But with a little pinterest inspiration, I've come up with a few more ways. One is to pair it with a bright colored top. I've been a little stuck on blue this summer, so I went with the cobalt knot tee. I've been so drawn to blue, I've even been wearing blue polish on my toes for a couple of weeks. You'd be surprised how well it goes with summer colors.

How is it August already? I still have a week's worth of outfits from July to share. Oh well, I'm a bit behind. What's new about that?
 
I've been wanting to wear my print jogger pants in a dressier outfit since last year, but I needed the perfect top. I added this top during the spring, so for my birthday dinner out ( a week and a half ago), I paired these pieces and added a little wedge sandal. Done. Dressed up joggers.
 
I've previously worn these pants with sneakers and casual sandals in a  more sporty chic look:

A cobalt blazer is a must have. If you are looking for something with a little more interest than a standard navy blazer and still want to fit into a conservation work environment, the cobalt blazer is the perfect option. I have worn this one multiple times and reach for it over and over again. The color has remained popular season to season, and I have a feeling it's going to get paired with olive this fall.  Another fun option for your work attire is a green pencil skirt. You don't have to go all out in color. Pair it with a white button up and more neutral blazer, or leave the blazer off and go with leopard accessories, as shown here.
 
This combination should have been obvious but it took me a while to realize this blouse goes perfectly with the skirt. Oh how I love remixing my closet.
 
Have a great weekend!
