I don't know why I've never thought about wearing this blouse with this suit before but a quick browse through Pinterest for an outfit idea resulted in this. Of course I've worn navy and grey together before, just last week in fact, but the cowl neck blouse in the pin made me think of this.

 

I'm trying not to jump the gun on Spring colors and outfits, but I have been assessing and planning for Spring. It will officially be here in one more week! I have some pieces that I think I need to retire from my wardrobe and I have been adding new ones this week. I only made a $12 purchase in January and a $14 purchase in February, so I think I was due a shopping trip. I know that I recently said there wasn't anything out there I was just crazy about, but I have found a few pieces that I hope will update/replace some old and result in some fresh looks. Looking forward to sharing new looks soon.

I'm getting bored with my wardrobe. I need for it to officially be spring so I can move on. We are having the weather for spring this week. To curb the boredom, I'm pulling out some of my fun shoes. I pulled out the striped ones this week.

 

Speaking of spring, I'm been looking over my wardrobe and I have remixed some of those pieces to death over the last three to four years, so I'm itching for some new things. Problem is, I'm not seeing anything I'm really in love with at the stores right now. Can you direct me to some must have pieces?

It was 36 degrees Sunday morning but into the 70s by early afternoon. Those days always stump me as to what to wear. The answer is of course, layers. And you can bet a layer got peeled off that afternoon. I also wasn't feeling very creative, so I pulled some very basic pieces and put them together. It's amazing that basics with a few accessories always create an outfit that is beyond basic.

That's probably a cheesy post title, but I'm a little short on time. Why does losing that one hour make you feel like you lost a week and are suddenly behind? Actually, the time change was good for us. It was over 70 yesterday afternoon and we got lots of yard work done. We are ready for spring and ready for everything to blossom. But yard work meant no blog post until this morning so here I am rushing to get this up.

It was not quite as warm Saturday so I wore this on an outing. I've actually worn a version of the top/vest a couple of times and just haven't managed to get photos.

Other ways I've worn this vest:

We have had temps in the 80's this week so I had to adjust my wardrobe a little. I don't like to be too non-seasonal at the time regardless of the temps, so I stayed with dark colors but pulled out the nautical top since I'm feeling summer here. I added a couple of pops of red to keep it from being too boring. And don't get too jealous- the temps have crashed from 80 to 40 overnight. I know that 40 would be nice to many of you, but the major fluctuations are annoying.

This outfit was inspired (or maybe copied straight from) Aleczandra at For Seven Seasons. If you've never met her, go do it now. She's got lot of great corporate and business style inspiration. And she leaves the sweetest comments on my blog! Thanks!

I walked out of our bedroom ready for church Sunday morning wearing this and the hubby says "I just learned what an empire waist is- now I'm a women's fashion expert." Oh really? He went on to explain that the show on TV was showing that an empire waist would lengthen and make a petite person appear taller. He even explained what an empire waist was and where it fell on the garment. I said, you mean like this dress?

 

My fear with these types of dresses on my curvy figure is that is makes me look pregnant. Not a look I want. You see I noted above this dress was a gift. I would not have bought it for myself. Regardless of looks, I managed to be comfortable and stay warm on yet another cold, grey and dreary day.
