Oxblood and faux fur



 
shirt- Old Navy; vest- Belk's;
pants - Target; shoes- Target
Worn Nov. 25, 2012

After getting these pants hemmed, I put them to good use. I think I wore them twice in a week. The first time you saw them, many of you thought they were part of a suit. Nope. Just a fun pair of pants all by themselves.

Gingham and vest




Shirt- Ralph Lauren (thrifted) (similar); vest (old-Goody's) (similar) (similar);
jeans- Levis skinny; boots- Belk's (similar) (similar)
worn Nov. 22, 2012
 
I went to the Goodwill with the hubby and some friends to thrift Halloween costumes last fall. I happened upon this gingham shirt while we were there. The cuffs have a cute stripe detail. This was a fun find, especially since I wasn't even looking for it. Later I was inspired by this pin to pair my shirt with boots and a vest.
 
Hope you have a great week.

Camel, oxblood, and leopard



 
Blazer- Dorothy Perkins; blouse- Sears;
pants- JCPenney;
belt- Target
shoes- DSW
Worn Nov. 21, 2012

You don't normally see me posting on Saturday, but I'm trying to play catch up. My posts have been running about two months behind and soon it will be spring and you won't want to see winter outfits anymore, so I'm going to attempt to catch up here soon.

 
This pin featured above sent me on a mad hunt for a camel blazer. I had one that was many years old and I just needed a new one to add back to my wardrobe. One with a sharper cut. I ended up ordering one from Dorothy Perkins. It will be worth the investment. I already had a top and pants in my closet but needed the blazer to make this outfit.

Color of the year




 
Blazer- Dress Barn; blouse- Target;
pants- Belk's; shoes- Target
earrings- Bauble Bar
Worn Nov. 20, 2012
 
So the new color of the year is emerald. Well, I was a few months ahead of the trend with my accessories. I won't be going overboard with the color, but I do like it. I based this outfit on the inspiration I pinned below.
 
I was drawing inspiration from the grey, teal and the earrings. But come to think of it, I could do an all grey outfit, pants or skirt, with this blouse. Wow, I just came up with another outfit while writing this post. Warning: blogging could stimulate creativity.

Not seeing the obvious

 
 
Blazer-old (similar); blouse- Limited (similar);
pants- Target; shoes- Target (similar)
earrings - JCPenney
Worn Nov. 19, 2012
 
Sometimes I just don't see the obvious. Both this blazer and shirt were in my closet when I bought these pants. I knew I could find things to wear with the pants (black if nothing else) but these two pieces didn't immediately come to mind. I looked in my closet and remembered the blazer and later saw a similar burgundy/pink combo in a magazine that triggered me to pair this blouse with these pieces. Thanks goodness for fashion magazines.

It's hard to come up with post titles. The first thing I thought of when I looked at this vest in these photos was a bengal tiger, so there you have the title of this post. And where does time go? I haven't been over here to post in a week! Sorry.

Poncho take two

 
 

 
Poncho- gift (similar); jeans- Levi's;
white long sleeve tshirt- JCPenney;
boots- Belk's
earrings - JCPenny
worn Nov. 17, 2012
 
I received this poncho as a gift Christmas 2011. I've only worn it one other time. I like it, but it rarely stays cold long enough here to get a lot of wear out of it. I wore it belted this time.
 
What pieces do you have that you like but can't wear often?
