Lace and pearls




 
Blouse- old option  option
blazer- Ross  option  option
pants- Loft  option  option
necklace- vintage  option  option
earrings- Sears  option
shoes- Payless option option
 
I've worn this blazer and these pants together now with several combinations of blouses and accessories. Maybe it's time for a "ways to wear" post. Do you guys like those? Seeing the same piece worn many ways in a post? It's been a while since I've done one of those.
 
I had almost decided I didn't like this blouse anymore but I've had renewed interest in it this spring. Funny how our interest in certain things changes from time to time.
 
Enough mid-week rambling from me. Hope you have a great rest of the week!

My favorite wedge sandals






Cardigan- Old Navy  option  option
skirt- Old Navy  option  option  option
shoes- Old Navy  option  option
necklace- Forever 21  option  option
earrings- made by me  option  option
 
I didn't realize until I started putting this post together that every single clothing item is from Old Navy. They were all bought in different years. I guess this is proof of how repeated shopping from a retailer pays off- their pieces go together year after year.
 
You saw these wedges in my last post. Once the temps rise, they go on repeat, but I'm afraid I need to be looking for a new pair. Any day the little piece on the buckle strap or the strap itself is going to break. I just don't want to part with them. It's difficult to find wedges that don't make your feet slide forward out of the shoe, but these are the perfect angle. What items do you have like that? the perfect piece you don't want to part with?

bracelet- gift  option
 
Last weekend I wore this to visit our families for Mother's Day. You've seen me wear this top many times in my business wear, but it makes a cute casual top too when paired with other casual items. I had to play on the "butterfly theme" and add a butterfly bangle.

Black and white

 
 
 
Vest- Forever 21   option   option   option
tee- TJMaxx   option   option   option
jeans- Loft
shoes- TJMaxx  option  option
clutch- Nordtrom  option
necklace- Maurice's  option  option
 
This is my favorite way of wearing my white sleeveless blazer/vest so far. It's much closer to the outfits I pinned when I was inspired to purchase this piece. I've tried to style it for work before and haven't been quite happy with it. However, it seems to be the perfect piece to add a little edge to a casual outfit.

Lots of color

 
 
 
Shirt- JCrew factory  option option
skirt- The Limited  option  option  option
shoes- Life Stride   option   option  option
necklace- JCPenney  option
tote-   Old Navy     option   option
watch- Fossil  option
bracelet- Forever 21  option
 
I have been wanting to wear this blouse with this skirt ever since I bought the blouse, but somehow keep overlooking it. It's also been a weird time at work where skirts just wouldn't be appropriate so it's been a while since I've worn a skirt for work. The opportunity finally presented itself last week, so I took it. Lot of color going on here, and speaking of color, how cute are these shoes? Could you pull off a color blocked pump?
 
Since I have so much color and a bold print going on, I kept the accessories simple- gold tassel necklace and a thin arrow bracelet.
