The last time I wore this blouse, my coworker complimented it and commented that it would go with so many things. I hesitated on that thought because in my mind this blouse only went with teal and brown. So I began to challenge myself to find other ways to wear it and decided that it would pair well with this light grey suit. What colors would you wear it with?

I've also recently discovered Bridgette Raes and her wonderful tips. I already do some of her suggestions like finding alternative to black shoes. I do wear my black pumps and black wedge flats a lot but my favorite outfits are the ones like this one that have some contrast between the shoes and base colors.

I'd love for you to follow me on Bloglovin and Pinterest.

Saturday shopping

Ann Taylor is having a 50% off sale items. That's 50% off items already on sale, so it makes these a great deal. Here are a few of my picks that will carry you through work and play and can be layered up later for fall. Make sure you click on the arrow to see all eight items if they are not showing.

Have a great weekend and happy shopping.

It took me seeing a similar combination on someone else for me to realize I could put these two pieces together. I've done lots of red, white, and black before, so I don't really know why this eluded me. I guess I should start thinking a little simpler when it comes to outfits.

 

Have a great weekend!

I'm doing the very thing I harped about not liking last week. I'm posting lots of photos. In my defense, there's two versions of the outfit. And I've provided a break with text and details, so if you don't want to look past the first three photos, you can stop here. But if you don't, thanks for looking. Above is what I actually wore to church a couple of weeks ago. I think palazzo pants just scream "big floppy hat" but that would be rude to wear the hat in church so I didn't. I just couldn't help playing around and styling this look with the hat too for photos.

Oh and this could be the last time you see these pants. I washed them and put them in the dryer like the instructions said, tumble dry low. I was hoping for a little shrinkage because they were so long, but I got a lot of shrinkage, like, I've got to now cover my booty in these because they are a bit tight, kind of shrinkage.

Shrinkage? is that even a word?

The easiest way to make your work attire feel like summer is to add a white blazer and or bright colors. I did both with this outfit. I was inspired by this outfit I found on pinterest. I made it more work appropriate for me by replacing jeans with trousers and went with a smaller statement necklace. Notice my belt? Remember I'm trying to change up my belts and not wear the same black or brown belt every day. I had gotten in a rut there. I was happy to find this metallic number along with another belt at the thrift store for $1.07.
