More blue and white



 
Shirt- Ralph Lauren (thrifted) option option
jeans- Loft option option
belt- Target option
sandals- Target option option
Worn July 22, 2014
 
I have been stuck on blue and white for a while now. Every outfit I put together in my head has blue and white, and maybe another color, but blue and white. I have to force myself to move on so I'm not wearing the same color every day.  In spite of my blue and white obsession, these jeans have not seen enough wear, so I obliged my inner self and wore them last week to an appointment.
 
This outfit was inspired by Merrick
 
 
I love the pop of pink in the belt.
 
Thanks for stopping by.

Chambray and eyelet




 
skirt- TJMaxx (old) option option option option
shoes- Belk's option option option
necklace- Our World Boutique option
worn July 20, 2014

I was happy to see eyelet back as a trend this spring and summer because I was already set. I have owned this skirt for several years as part of a matching suit. The jacket doesn't see much wear anymore, but the skirt is still a great piece. It was perfect to pair with two other trendy items- chambray and a statement necklace. Sometimes it's too much to have too many trends in one outfit, but I think this works.

Multi color maxi skirt- three ways


 
Top- Target option option
skirt- Belks option option option option
shoes- Target option option
earrings- Limited option option option
Worn July 19, 2014
 
I had not worn this skirt all year until Saturday a week ago. I  wore it to run some errands and visit some folks at the hospital. In fact, I have not worn a maxi skirt all year. I'm not believing that as I love to wear them when it's hot. You know you have too many clothes when you have things that aren't getting worn.
 
Here are two other ways I've worn the skirt. I'll probably never wear it the first way again, but I like the second look. I'm also considering wearing it with a small stripe- what do you think? Can this crazy pattern handle a striped top?
 

Bolero sweater- Sears- option option
Yellow tee- Loft option option
tan wedges- Old Navy option


Do you like handmade accessories? I've been adding some things back to my etsy shop.  Check out the earrings bracelet, and brooches I have listed.

Pretty in Pink




 
 
Blouse- Loft option option
shoes- Ann Klein/Belk option
necklace/earrings- Cato option option option
Worn July 16, 2014
 
After two days of wearing attire for work that strictly suits function and not fashion at all, I was ready to wear something dressy and ladylike last week. While this isn't the most flattering outfit, it came together quickly and with ease, and I felt good in it all day. Isn't that what matters sometimes? How you feel in something makes a huge difference in how you carry yourself.

Sleeveless blazer or vest?




Sleeveless blazer- Forever 21 option splurge
shirt- JCPenney similar
skirt- JCPenney similar
shoes- Payless option option
worn July 13, 2014
 
Which do you classify it as? Sleeveless blazer or vest? Either one works for me, but I picture a sleeveless blazer as a dressier item than some vests may be. Ironically, the look I love most for this garment I'm wearing with this outfit is a casual look with a tank and jeans. Too bad I can't wear that to work.

A Rainy Day

Necklace- Our World option mint version
Skirt- Target option

Worn July 11, 2014
 
Any day during a summer in south Georgia is likely to turn into a rainy day with thunderstorms. That's what happended the day I wore this outfit. This is pretty basic but spiced up with some peep toes shoes and a statement necklace. I've been stuck on a blue and white color palette lately. You will be seeing more of it.

Striped shirt - 3 ways

 
                                         1                           2                         3
 
Who doesn't love stripes? I'm sure there is someone out there who doesn't, but there are many of us who deem them a "must have" wardrobe item. Today I'm featuring a simple blue striped Gap tee and three ways I've worn it. It's been great for summer and late winter/early spring. Click on the numbers above for the individual outfit details.
