Tights, denim and boots





shirt- Gap (similar); sweater- Gap;
skirt- Old Navy (similar); necklace- online boutique (similar)
Boots- Shoes.com

We had one more day cool enough for tights. I wore this to church. I had so much fun with the pop of color in the necklace.

By the way, my closet rod (or rather the support bracket) broke when I came home and went to hang up my blazer yesterday. I guess I have TOO.MANY.CLOTHES. or scarves. I have two scarf hangers full of scarves that were creating a lot of weight. So please share with me, how do you store or hang your scarves?

The dreaded indoors


 
Blazer/pants- Belk's; sweater- Dress Barn;
booties- Sears; necklace -gift
Worn Jan 4, 2013

Not much to say about this. It was dark and raining outside when I got home, much like yesterday and today, so I had to take pictures indoors. It really wasn't worth the hassle but I thought I was on to something with oxblood and grey. At least it was a new mix up for me and I was clothed.

Inspired by a pillow


 
Blazer- Dorothy Perkins; sweater- Target;
pants- JCPenney;
shoes- Target
Worn Jan 3, 2013
 
I was inspired by the colors in a pillow on my porch to put these colors together in an outfit. Have you found that you see "outfits" in other things now that you pay attention to it?
 
On another note- this is an all time high here on the scales. This was right after the holidays and chubs had maxed out her weight. I am happy to report that about 7 pounds have gone away since then. Still workin' on it, but hopefully you'll start seeing the difference in the photos soon.

Camel and orange



Jacket- Dress Barn; blouse and pants- JCPenney
belt- Target; shoes DSW
Worn Jan. 2, 2013
 
The combination of camel, orange and black was inspired by an outfit I saw in Redbook magazine. I added the leopard. I wish I had better photos, but sometimes winter just catches up with you.

Thrifted and gifted





Blazer- Goodwill, Dress- Gap via Goodwill;
scarf- gift; boots- shoes.com
Worn Jan. 6, 2013
 
The majority of this outfit was thrifted and the scarf was a gift in 2011. I didn't put it to use much until the end of 2012. I've tried to alter the top of this dress for a better fit and made a mess of it but managed to hide it with the jacket. Now- do I have it altered professionally or send it back to Goodwill?
 
I hope you all had a love*ly Valentine's Day. We had a quite evening at home. I'm over pink and red and ready for Spring. And for some consistent temps- it's been in the 80s here this week and today its 39! with at high at 68. Pu-lease. This is making it difficult to dress.

Love, hate and tights


 
Blazer- ? (old); shirt- Ralph Lauren;
skirt- The Limited;
shoes- Payless
necklace- Groopdealz
worn Dec. 28, 2012
 
I love how this outfit turned out. It's rarely cold enough for tights, but I love how they worked with this outfit. I'd like to wear skirts and tights more often. I hate the way these photos turned out. I'll be glad to see a little more evening daylight so I won't have to take these indoor photos.

jeans- Ross; shoes- Target

I wore this to a family Christmas get together (yes, I'm that far behind with outfit posts) but I think it would be a cute Valentine date night outfit. What do you think?
