Silver shoes

The silver shoes were a last minute decision. I had originally planned to wear black pumps but then I thought about the silver shoes and decided they would go nicely with the grey blazer. I'm glad I decided on them, even though I got a strange look from security at my office building. Then again the same guy was looking at my "field" footwear the next day, so maybe he has a shoe or foot fetish.
 
I know I'm always vague about work but it's a policy to not discuss or list our place of work on social media, so I keep the details off the blog. I know that I've referred to field attire before, and while I can't explain it's purpose, let's just say it's functional but not fashionable so you will never see it here.  Curiosity is killing you , isn't it?

Old rules

Do you still follow that old rule "no white before Memorial Day"? Not me. I've been wearing these white pants since spring rolled in.  They create quite a contrast with this blazer and blouse which I previously wore together with navy pants. Just a few changes can make a totally new outfit. Here I changed the pants, shoes and accessories.
 
Here's side by side comparison of the two outfits:
 
 
Which is your favorite version?

Spring suit



 
Blazer/ pants- JCPenney (old) similar  option
blouse- Target
necklace- Sears  option  option
shoes- Belk similar
worn April 20, 2015
 
I'm finally posting the last outfit of April. Now I should only be about a week behind with what I'm posting. At least I'm keeping it real and I really wear these clothes. This is a simple pairing but perfect for spring. The lighter color suit and floral top are a welcome change from the darker greys and blacks worn during the winter.

Suprising color combo



 
Blazer- Old  option    option
blouse- JCPenney
pants- JCPenney  option
shoes- Payless option  option
Worn May 7, 2015
 
I have to try really hard to find ways to wear this jacket apart from it's matching bottom so I was really surprised to see that it worked so well with the chartreuse top. Not so sure the fit of the overall outfit worked for me, but nonetheless, I like the color combo.

Happy Friday!! The days and weeks seem to get longer and busier and I'm exhausted. So happy it's Friday.

Blush and navy



 
Blazer- Lord and Taylor  option
blouse- Limited  option
pants-Limited
necklace- JCPenney
shoes- Ann Klein (gifted)  option  option
worn May 6, 2015
 
I'll admit that I'm getting tired of my spring capsule. I may call it at the end of the month. I'll also admit that it has made me push my creativity and mixing skills. I would have never come up with this outfit if I were not doing this capsule. I have worn blush and navy before, but not with the addition of a white blazer.
 
These shoes are another pair that my coworker gave me. Perfect for when I want to wear flats but need the dress of a heel.

Pastel floral



 
Blazer- Ross (old)  option
blouse- Target
pants- Gap
shoes- Belk option
necklace- old  option  option
Worn May 5, 2015
 
This top from Target has been a work horse in my spring wardrobe. It pairs well with other pastels, brights, and conservative darks and neutrals.
 
These photos are pretty crappy. I retreated to the back yard because a new neighbor moved in across the street and I just didn't want to take pics in front of the movers and a new audience. By now you would think I wouldn't care who was watching. So... the background is less than appealing and it was breezy again. I'm not complaining too much about the breeze. It makes our climate tolerable.

Graphic tee and boyfriends



 
Tee- JCrew  option  option  option
jeans- Loft  option
shoes- Forever 21  option  option  option
earrings- Target  option  option  option
Worn May 10, 2015
 
I can't think of anything more comfortable (for going out of the house) than boyfriend jeans and a tee. I resisted this type of jeans for a long time because of the distressing and I had a hard time with fit, but once I got over the distressing and found this fit from Loft, I fell in love. Over the past year, these have become a favorite. Add a pair of cute shoes and you even look like you put some effort into getting dressed.
 
I wore this tee last fall with a cardigan, jeans and sneakers.
 
 
 
And I've also worn it with a skirt.
 
 
 
I'm not much into plain tee shirts but I love a good graphic tee.
