We keep having a couple of winter days mixed with a couple of summer days. This was one of those days right after Christmas with 80 degree highs, so I opted for a comfortable non-flannel plaid with a skirt and statement necklace for church. Love how you can dress plaid up or down.

Rust blazer- Six ways


Amazing what a $10 blazer can do! I picked this blazer up at Tuesday Morning for $10 a few years ago (option/ option/ option) and have more than gotten my money out of it. It's been a great fall/winter piece. Sometimes I think it's tired and boring and I can't do anything else with  it except repeat outfits, but it may have life left. We'll see.

Above are six ways I've worn it in the past. Click on the numbered links below to see each original post.

1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6

Hope your new year is off to an amazing start!

I wore this Christmas day to spend time with our families. I thought it was high time my vest got some wear for the year. Of course I had to sport the fedora and bracelet. They were Christmas gifts from the hubby. He sure knows how to fill a girl's wish list.

It's 2015! I'm still posting outfits from 2014 so not much has changed. I'm still running behind. Even though I wore this as my Christmas eve outfit for work and for a church service that evening, it's neutral enough to wear year round. I was inspired by this outfit to pair these pieces together. Sometimes I overlook the simplest and most obvious outfit choices. Thank goodness for pinterest and all of you who provide inspiration for me. I didn't go with the pearl necklace like the inpiration photo because I've had the Kimberly knock-off on repeat. I'm loving this necklace right now.

Top ten of 2014

Even though I said I don't get real nostalgic about the end of a year, I thought I'd post a recap of the top ten posts of the year. It's always fun to look back at what was popular and what was not. So here are my top ten posts, in terms of views. They aren't necessarily my favorite outfits or posts, but something brought traffic to them nonetheless. It's apparent everyone likes remix posts.

It's the last day of 2014. I had to say it, everyone else has been talking about it. I don't get too nostalgic about the years. I've stopped making resolutions. I just strive to keep moving forward and doing better. The older I get, the more I realize that some seasons of life don't care what the calendar says. They don't necessarily start and stop with the ending or beginning of a new year. And I'm okay with that. I will admit that for the last two years we have been in a season I'd like to see end, but it could be worse, so I'll just trust that God knows best and in His time, it will pass.
 
Happy New Year to all of you! I hope it holds good things for you.

One for the books




Blazer- old option option
sweater- thrifted option option
pants- TJMaxx option  option  option option
necklace - Our World Boutique option  option option
booties- TJMaxx option option
worn Dec. 22, 2014

I just noticed when I posted these photos that I had creases from the hanger across the legs of my pants. Classy. That's what happens when you don't prepare the night before and you are running behind. We'll just mark this one down for the history books.

You really can't tell from the pictures, but this sweater has gold/metallic flecks in it. I thought it would be the perfect small touch for the holidays for the office. I've worn this sweater with the pants before with a scarf, but somehow, the necklace and blazer make it feel like a totally new outfit. I love how simple changes make a big difference.
