Hello! I am enjoying my day off by sleeping in and being lazy, thus the late post. A few weeks back I got a little stumped with outfits for work. I had read about others who wear a "uniform" of black and white to take the guess work out of it and make it easier so I thought, why not? It would be an easy week. I had enough black and white to squeeze through a week.

 

So I this week I will be presenting to you a week of black and white outfits. The first one was what could be very boring to some, even to me- black suit, white button up. Just for a little character I added striped pumps and a statement necklace.

How do you wear stripes on stripes? With seersucker! It's the perfect tiny stripe base for any bolder stripe.

 

Something about Labor Day draws me to red, white and blue. Maybe it's because those colors, especially in stripes, will always say summer to me.

 

Are you looking forward to this weeked? Sales? travel? bar b ques? Or just relaxing with a day off? I'm looking  forward to all of it.

This peplum top has only made one other appearance on the blog. While I consider this a classic piece, I just haven't worn it. I guess I should. I got lots of compliments on it at work. I was inspired by a pin on pinterest showing a navy top and camel pants to put this outfit together. To keep it from being too plain I chose burgundy red pumps and this olive and gun metal statement necklace with brown and peach beads to play off the camel color. I wanted to keep it a little conservative because I had court, but if you really want to make this more colorful and make this outfit pop, I recommend bright red shoes and a colorful statement necklace.

It's not over yet

Summer- it's not over yet, or as we would say here in the south- it AIN'T over yet. Nope, not on the calendar or with the temps, so I'm still going through my summer wardrobe and getting in as much wear as possible. As tempting at the plaids, fur, olive, booties and such may be, summer is not over yet and it' not quite time for them. 

 

I've had this outfit  in my head for almost a year, based on the scarf. I don't know why it took me all summer to finally wear it but here it is. Everything in this post is super old. I do tend to keep and wear things for years, even it I only wear it once or twice a season. It breaks the boredom.
