Two trendy items I've come to love are the fedora and kimono.  This short length kimono is perfect for petite ladies as it's less likely to overwhelm your frame, particularly when paired with another loose fitting item like boyfriend shorts. You don't want to get lost under your clothes. And well, fedoras are just fun and perfect for a bad hair day.

Repeating and 6 ways to wear a cobalt blazer

pants- Loft   option   option   option

shoes- Belk  option   option

necklace- gift  option

I've worn cobalt, black and white before, so I'm pretty much repeating an outfit here, just different blouse and shoes. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. This works for me, so why change it? Sometimes I just need to get dressed and not reinvent the wheel with each outfit.

Last year I shared 6 ways to wear a cobalt blazer.  Apparently this item is a favorite of mine. Here are 6 more ways to wear a cobalt blazer.

And I almost forgot, you can throw it on over a white dress:

 

or wear it this way

 

 

whew! That's 8 more ways total.

Hope you had a great weekend and have a great week ahead.

A good solid... you fill in the blank. A good solid night's sleep would be nice because that hasn't happened this week. I've been battling some allergies and congestion. But the real solid I'm talking about here is a solid color blouse. I love prints and patterns but sometimes I'm drawn to solid colors. I've been reaching for a solid color blouse a little more often lately. I've often worn this with light grey but I think it paired nicely with the darker grey.

 

And yes, I attempted a few waves in my hair. This was last week just a couple of days before my trim which was over scheduled and past due. I was at my wits end with my hair just hanging in my face, so I put a few beachy waves in it.

I have always worn this blouse tied into a bow, but I saw the Nordstrom scarf tie blouse styled with the ties hanging down and a light bulb came on in my head. I could wear this blouse that way. Now why didn't I think of that?

 

I also want to rant a bit. I'll admit I'm a bit impatient and like to get right to the point. Lately I've noticed some of the bloggers I follow filling their posts with 8 or 9 or more photos. It seems like it takes forever to get to the details. I think that's too many photos. Your dress, outfit, whatever doesn't look any different in photo 8 than it did in photo 1. If you are doing detail shots of accessories or little details, then okay, maybe 5 photos. Eight or nine just seems as if you like yourself a little too much. What are your thoughts?

Yesterday I showed you an outfit worn on the same date as this one. I wore the other one out that evening and this outfit to work. I've been trying to spice up work attire without going overboard and have decided that a fun accessory like this pink belt is the trick.  A fun print like snakeskin also helps.

Brights with camo

worn July 22, 2015

I'll have to admit that a camo skirt left me a little stumped on how to style it beyond black and chambray. But with a little pinterest inspiration, I've come up with a few more ways. One is to pair it with a bright colored top. I've been a little stuck on blue this summer, so I went with the cobalt knot tee. I've been so drawn to blue, I've even been wearing blue polish on my toes for a couple of weeks. You'd be surprised how well it goes with summer colors.
