Closet creation





 
Blazer- Belk option
blouse- JCPenney
pants- Belk option
shoes- TJMaxx option
 
I used to wear this blouse with this mint blazer, but the blazer was really beginning to show some wear so I replaced it with this one.  I've been challenging myself to wear things in my closet that haven't been worn in a while and this shirt was up. However it doesn't go with the new mint blazer  because the color is a different shade. I took a quick look around my closet and realized the blouse would also coordinate with teal. And that's how this outfit was created.
 
I don't normally post on Saturday, but I'm trying to stay current, and I missed yesterday so you get a post on Saturday. Hope you are having a great weekend.

A little lemon






Blazer/pants- JCPenney option option
option blouse- Loft
scarf- Cato option option
shoes- Lifestride via TJMaxx option
Worn April 17, 2014
 
I've been trying to add a few pastels and spring pieces to my wardrobe. I've never had much of  Spring wardrobe, just lots of year round pieces. We tend to skip spring here anyway and go straight to summer. One of my new additions is this Loft shirt. I was afraid I might be too washed out with the shirt and suit so I added the scarf. I like it, but it's not my everday look.
 
I'm now questioning the black belt and shoes. Black seems to clash a little. I picked them more for comfort based on the work I had to to that day, but if I had a more relaxed day, I'd go for a different pair. But I'm curious- what color shoes would you pair with it? I'd love to know in the comments or for you to leave links to some suggestions.

Pastel pink midi






 
purse- Forever21
shoes- TJMaxx option
necklace/earrings- Cato
 
This was my Easter outfit, so I'm jumping ahead and sharing it today. It was not intentionally my Easter outfit, but it just worked out to be. Midi skirts and a peplum have been on my radar for a while and I recently added both to my closet. I thought these two pieces would pair nicely so I held out until Easter to wear them.  You will be seeing them again.

Chartreuse print skirt- four ways





 
Blazer- Dress Barn option
blouse- JCPenney option option
skirt- JCPenney
shoes- Target option
earrings- gift
Worn April 15, 2014
 
I bought this blouse and skirt about a year apart but being that they are both the Worthington line from JCPenney, they work great together. The skirt is embellished with tulle and chain, so no necklace is needed. I've had these shoes for a while too, but I'm happy to see they are still in style this spring.
 
Here are three other ways I've worn this skirt:

Red lips





Cardigan- Old Navy option
skirt- thrifted option
shoes- Belks similar
clutch- Target option
Worn April 13, 2014
 
 
My lips are really red in these photos, partly because the lighting is washing out the other colors. Oh well. I cannot take any credit for this outfit. It's a total copy of Petite Career Girl. I would have never thought to pair mint and red and definitely not with the stripes. But I love it! I made it my own version with a lighter color clutch and wedges.

Happy Easter! I wish you all the joy and peace this day brings!

Casual Friday





Tshirt-  Target option option
shoes- Target option
bracelet- JCPenney option option
necklace- Forever21 option option
worn April 12, 2014
 
This is actually a casual Saturday outfit. We don't have casual Friday at work, so casual is limited to weekends. I'm posting on Friday and needed a post title, so casual Friday it is.

The only reason I took these pics was because I was debating about whether or not this looked okay and if I should keep or donate this shirt. I have become extremely picky about tshirts. I don't like cheap ones that "roll" around the middle and have no shape to them. I like for them to have a little stretch and still keep their shape. This is a cheap tshirt and it's doing a little "rolling" but overall, I think this worked out. I think accessories are totally what make jeans and a tshirt an "outfit".
