One of my favorite things about this shirt is the faux leather shoulder tabs. Oh and it's rich fall floral pattern. I paired it with a navy pencil skirt this time. Both pieces happened to be from Target, purchased at separate times.

 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great weekend.

We had a three day cold spell, but it's back in the 70s now. At least I had a chance to pull out a scarf on Monday and wear it to work. I kept this outfit very neutral with black, white and grey but fun with stripes and dots. I chose flat shoes because I knew it was going to be a busy day.

 

What are your tricks for staying conservative but still wearing fun things to the office?

Swayed again

Remember when I talked last week about being swayed by social media to buy something? It happened to me twice. This skirt from Target has also been in several collages on Pinterest and in many "ways to wear" posts by other bloggers. So the more I saw it, the more I needed it. Yep, swayed again.

 

Seriously, I happened to see it my local Target and had a 25% off cartwheel. I have five or more tops to wear with it, and a floral print is something I'd like to have more of in my wardrobe, so this was a no-brainer decision. My first way of styling and wearing this skirt is pretty close to one of Audrey's suggested ways. It will be a while before I run out of options from my closet with this one.

This wasn't  a Halloween outfit, just worn on October 31.  It was just the first chance I had to wear this scarf. And let me tell you about this scarf. This outfit is pretty much a total knock off of Megan's. I fell in love with the whole outfit when I saw it and promptly pinned it. I also pinned the exact scarf to my wish list board. And then I waited because it was too hot at the time for me to wear a scarf. I decided a couple of weeks ago that it was time to make the purchase and to my dismay, the scarf had SOLD.OUT. Nooooo... So I went on a frantic search and found this one on ebay. I'm pretty sure it's an exact match, there is just no brand tag on this one.

 

Oh and the hat... I've never been much of a hat person. At least not baseball caps. Even when I had long hair, I didn't like hats. I recently purchased a straw fedora on clearance and wore it on our vacation. The hubby liked it. So I thought I'd give this one a try. The hubby likes this one on me too, so I'll keep it. Never mind that it's one of the most popular items for fall.

One sweater= three ways

 

1/ 2/ 3

 



 

We are having a few days of sweater weather so I thought I'd share a remix of three ways I've worn a pink crew neck sweater. I don't get to wear sweaters as much as I'd like because it doesn't stay cold long enough, but they can be great pieces to have when you do need them. They can be worn alone or layered.

 

Last week's schedule didn't leave much room for photographing outfits and I had a couple of days in a type of work attire that I don't share, so I was short on posts. I have a couple of posts to share for this week, but I'm not sure how the photographs are going to go with the fall back on the time. It will just about be dark when I get home and I hate indoor photos. We will see.

Worn Oct. 28, 2014

 

I started the day in this blouse with a navy suit and heels for work, but had a half day off for an appointment. I went home and changed into these comfy boyfriend jeans and oxfords. I fought the boyfriend jeans trend up until I finally purchased these in the spring. The first pair had no distressing. The distressing finally won over on me and I purchased this pair. They have minimal distressing but still lend themselves to a put together look (vs "thrown away"). Some gals do a great job of styling jeans with both knees torn and lots of holes, but I just don't think they fit my lifestyle and activities.

 

I also fought the oxford trend when it first came back. I had a pair of white ones when I was 13. (I'm over 40 now.) All of those trends from my awkward teen years were just too much of a reminder of those years to embrace right away. However, add some shine or sparkle, and I'm in. I got this pair during a sale with coupons for $15 so I think I'll get my cost per wear from them, even though they were bought just for fun.

I must admit that I get swayed by social media (and a good sale) when I see something over and over. I begin to decide that I need that item too. This skirt is a fine example. After seeing this collage of outfits created with this skirt and other Loft items, and then this one  and this one all over pinterest and this skirt on a few other bloggers, I decided I needed it. A good flash sale sealed the deal and now I have one too.

 

I love a good accessory too. I had originally planned to wear a long simple necklace with this outfit and at the last minute this necklace caught my eye. You've seen me wear it here and here already and it's been worn one other time that didn't make the blog.

 

Hope you're having a great week.
