Olive and red

I'm so happy for fall to be here but so confused about what to wear. It's comfortable enough for these shorts today, but by late evening I may want another layer. I guess I better be thinking about those transitional outfits because this is 27 of the 30x30 remix. Only three more days/outfits to go!

Mustard and wine and a cheat




Blazer- Ross  option  option  option
shirt- TJMaxx  option
pants- Loft  option  option  option
shoes- DSW  option  option  option
necklace- Loft  option

Happy Friday! Even though I've had a couple of days off work this week, I'm glad it's Friday. It's been a long week and those days off were not really vacation days, just personal business.
 
Today I'm pairing the mustard and wine/burgundy/oxblood pants with leopard and gray. And I'm cheating on the 30x30. This blazer isn't part of the mix. It almost made it into the choices but I decided on the darker gray blazer to have a matching suit option for work. However, I think this blazer works best with this outfit and fits the look I wanted. But to keep you updated with true outfits from the 30x30 mix, below is a shot of the outfit with the black blazer from the mix. Works, but I like the grey better.

Leopard and grey




 
Blouse- Ross  option  option
pants- Belks  option
necklace/earrings- Cato  option  option  option Kate Spade option
shoes- Belks option
 
We are seeing a lot of neutrals for fall, so I decided to try a pairing of leopard with grey. Two neutrals, right? I was looking for something a little different with accessories just to change up the 30x30 mix a little, and came up with pale pink. Blush and pale pink are two more colors we will be seeing a lot of for the fall. It's a little unexpected, but I think the mix of the three work.

The "to wear" list


 
Blouse- Loft (old)  option  option
jeans- Loft  option  option
shoes- Payless  option  option  option
watch- Fossil  similar
bracelet- Target  option  option
 
Some version of white jeans and my olive top has been on my "to wear" list ever since I pinned this outfit. (Do you have a "to wear" list? You know, all those pins and outfits you've come up with but need to appropriate time or occasion to wear? This happens to me a lot with casual attire since I spend so much time in work wear.)

I was glad that these pieces are in my 30x30 remix and that this finally came together. I also think the olive top is a great way to take white jeans into fall, escpecially in our climate where it doesn't really feel like fall. Speaking of fall- Happy Fall!

Casual day





 
shoes- Payless  option  option
purse- gift option  option

I have a couple of days off work this week, both for random personal things. They just happened to be back to back, so you will be seeing some casual outfits the next couple of days. A button up shirt is another versatile piece. It's been a go to in my work wardrobe, but paired with jeans it's instantly casual.

Here's one of the recent work looks:

Orange skirt take two (and a little deviation)

necklace- Lulus  option option
 
Okay, I admit it - I cheated a little on my 30x30. These shoes aren't part of my 30x30 choices. I could have just taken photos with the leopard pumps on and you would not have known any better, but I'm being real and honest and posting exactly what I wore. Whenever I wear bright colors or two sharp contrasting colors, I like to keep the shoes neutral with nude. And I'm tired of rotating out the two pairs of heels. One thing I 've learned from this 30x30 challenge is that I don't like being limited on shoes. Shoes are accessories for me.
