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.

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.

How is it August already? I still have a week's worth of outfits from July to share. Oh well, I'm a bit behind. What's new about that?

 

I've been wanting to wear my print jogger pants in a dressier outfit since last year, but I needed the perfect top. I added this top during the spring, so for my birthday dinner out ( a week and a half ago), I paired these pieces and added a little wedge sandal. Done. Dressed up joggers.

 

I've previously worn these pants with sneakers and casual sandals in a  more sporty chic look:
