The easiest way to make your work attire feel like summer is to add a white blazer and or bright colors. I did both with this outfit. I was inspired by this outfit I found on pinterest. I made it more work appropriate for me by replacing jeans with trousers and went with a smaller statement necklace. Notice my belt? Remember I'm trying to change up my belts and not wear the same black or brown belt every day. I had gotten in a rut there. I was happy to find this metallic number along with another belt at the thrift store for $1.07.

Two trendy items I've come to love are the fedora and kimono.  This short length kimono is perfect for petite ladies as it's less likely to overwhelm your frame, particularly when paired with another loose fitting item like boyfriend shorts. You don't want to get lost under your clothes. And well, fedoras are just fun and perfect for a bad hair day.

Repeating and 6 ways to wear a cobalt blazer

Blazer- Forever 21   option   option

pants- Loft   option   option   option

shoes- Belk  option   option

necklace- gift  option

I've worn cobalt, black and white before, so I'm pretty much repeating an outfit here, just different blouse and shoes. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. This works for me, so why change it? Sometimes I just need to get dressed and not reinvent the wheel with each outfit.

Last year I shared 6 ways to wear a cobalt blazer.  Apparently this item is a favorite of mine. Here are 6 more ways to wear a cobalt blazer.

1/ 2/ 3/ 4/  5/   6/

And I almost forgot, you can throw it on over a white dress:

 

or wear it this way

 

 

whew! That's 8 more ways total.

Hope you had a great weekend and have a great week ahead.

A good solid... you fill in the blank. A good solid night's sleep would be nice because that hasn't happened this week. I've been battling some allergies and congestion. But the real solid I'm talking about here is a solid color blouse. I love prints and patterns but sometimes I'm drawn to solid colors. I've been reaching for a solid color blouse a little more often lately. I've often worn this with light grey but I think it paired nicely with the darker grey.

 

And yes, I attempted a few waves in my hair. This was last week just a couple of days before my trim which was over scheduled and past due. I was at my wits end with my hair just hanging in my face, so I put a few beachy waves in it.
