Red chambray

Now here's something I don't see much of- red chambray. I saw this skirt Memorial Day weekend in the Loft outlet store. It was 50% off and I fell in love. Of course I got the blue one too, but red- oh my! I have a love/hate relationship with red, but this washed out shade is perfect for summer. And the skirt sells itself regardless of color. Easy pull on, elastic waist, and pockets! Full to hide the not-so-summer ready body and breezy for air flow. Perfect.




The hubby and I rarely go out to eat "just because" anymore. We limit our meals out to after church on Sunday and/or other times when we are out and just won't have time to cook. However, we went out to eat a couple of weeks ago "just because". I wore this outfit. I thought it made a cute little date night outfit. I wore the white denim jacket because I knew it would be cold indoors. But if I had to hang out outside much, the jacket would have to come off, so I'm being brave and showing you a shot of the outfit without the jacket.



The top was a purchase I made last year and was seen here.

 I can't find an exact match for the skirt or top, so I tried to link up some similar items in the same cut and style. While I was looking, I found this tassel trimmed skirt. How cute is that? This is pretty much the same skirt but in a print.

Have a great weekend!

Are we there yet? Is it Friday? Almost... That's how I'm feeling about now. 
 
 It seems like everything in this outfit is old. Old but worn in a new way. And I apparently like wearing these shoes with these pants? Do you have pieces like that? You always wear the same shoes, or same accessories, or same whatever? Even if you change something else up?

Blushing

Blushing... more like flushing in this ridiculous heat that's going on right now. Here I am remixing the blush blazer and floral blouse from The Limited. I've loved having these pieces in my wardrobe this spring. My coworker keeps telling me I need a pair of blush heels to go with all the pink I've worn this year, but I don't like to get too matchy matchy. I've also been grabbing this necklace as a go to all spring. Do you reach for the same thing over and over, or for a season?

Off shoulder top and wide leg pants









Top- New York and Company  option   option   option   option
pants- Old Navy  option  option
shoes- Belk (old) option  option  option
bracelet- gift  option
earrings- online boutique  option
 
I recently blogged about a printed pair of linen blend wide leg pants. I also purchased these linen wide leg pants the same day. They have a tiny stripe and are the comfiest things. It's getting awfully hot here (98, over 100 index) but these will be a great option for pants in the heat. The wide leg allows for some air flow.
 
This top is a new purchase as well. I just had to get on the off shoulder band wagon. I'm not sure that I'm sold that it's for me. The top doesn't want to stay put when I move and I'm not one to fuss with clothing. I will say that I do like that this top has structure and is not too flowy. The flowy ones tend to make me look bigger. Most folks have been pairing their off shoulder tops with tassel earrings, but really any pair of dangle statement earrings will work.

Little red

Do you have the song "Little Red Riding Hood" or just thoughts of the children's story stuck in your head now? You know you want to complete that title. Maybe it's distracting you from the woes of returning to work.
 
I love how this little red pleat front blouse (seen before HERE and HERE)  pops with the grey and heathered navy. I also like the cognac brown shoes and belt much better than I would grey, navy or black pumps. If you are getting a little bored with your daily attire, make a little change with color or shoe color.
 
Have a great week!
