Houndstooth flats

Worn Sept. 28, 2012

 

I know you're not used to seeing me on Fridays but since I'm a little behind, I thought I'd post today. This is probably the last of the hot pink blazer until spring/summer. I wore it one more time at the end of September with another combination of grey and black, but this time I wore my houndstooth ballet flats. I had fun all day in these shoes.

Sometimes the details are in the back, like with this blazer and skirt. Both have cute pleat detailing in the back. Surely you weren't thinking of something sleazy, like an illegal deal in a back room or alley.

Sorry for the absence here. Life gets busy this time of year and this blog receives the least attention when it does. I'm still coming up with new outfits and taking photos, so one day I'll get around to sharing them all.

 

This is an early fall look for me. It stays too warm here to jump right into what fall means for most- sweaters, scarves, boots, so I have to use color. I figured by adding the vest I could make this shirt tone down from summer to fall. Cute shoes and accessories also help make jeans and a tshirt more of an "outfit".

 

Thanks for stopping by. I'm linking up to WIWW.

Goodbye summer

Most of you aren't looking for summer outfit inspiration anymore, but this is more of what I still wear in the fall. It stays hot through September and most of October here, and I wore this over a month ago.  I was also sneeking in my houndstooth flats again. Just this week the temperature has dipped, so I hope I can finally say goodbye to summer. I wanted to go ahead and post this to show off my Whippy Cake brooch.  I won a giveaway. I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to wear it as a hair accessory at my age, but I'll sure wear it as a brooch.

Stripes and dots

I can't believe that I used to wear this skirt with only a solid black or solid white top. There are so many more options. I'm trying out stripes this time. And colored shoes. I ordered these ballet flats from Target at the same time I got the houndstooth ones. They are going to get a lot of fall/winter wear.

I got these cute shoes last month and I tried to wear them for a week straight. I say tried, because I had to wear other shoes to work, but every chance I got, I was wearing these. I love them and they have become a go to when I want "comfortable" but cute.

On vacation

shirt-old (Chadwicks); tank- Old Navy; shorts- TJMaxx

shoes- Payless

Worn Oct. 5, 2012

 

We took a vacation a couple of weeks ago and I got the hubby to take these photos on the deck of the Corolla Inn, Corolla, NC. It was a little breezy, but you still get the gist of the outfit- shorts, a gingham shirt, tank, and comfy shoes for sightseeing. This shirt is the first thing I thought of pairing with these shorts when I bought them. I've learned to mentally go through my closet and decide if I have other pieces to work with an item before a purchase.

 

Sorry I've been a little amiss with posting lately. We've been catching up from our trip away and getting ready for Halloween. It's a big event at our house so we've been busy building props and decorating.
