There's something so chic about jeans and a blazer and with boyfriend jeans and a blazer it's comfy chic. I sometimes wish I had a different job because I would rock this look more often. But... no jeans at work for me and by the time the weekend comes, the blazers need a break. 
 
This was one of the GYPO fall challenge outfits. I was pleased at how this turned out with the camel blazer and gold flats. This knit blazer is the perfect match for jeans.

Just rosy

You may remember this scarf and tunic from my tone on tone post. This time I'm paring the rose blush tunic with olive leggings, or shall we say jeggings. These pants come up under "jeans" and have pockets. The front even has a cool moto flair with zippered pockets, but the labeling for these pants says "leggings" and they fit like leggings. I will be keeping my bum covered when wearing these.

I love olive, or sage green, but if it's too masculine or earthy for you, trying pairing it like this with a soft feminine color like blush.

This cardigan has been an under utilized item in my closet, but I have taken a renewed interest in cardigans this season, so I'm determined to wear this one. I already love grey and mustard together, so why not throw in navy.
 
Once again inspiration was taken from Bridgette Raes and this mix and match style post. (third set down) This was a very comfy outfit for the office but I still felt polished. Feeling good in your clothes is as important as how you look. I don't mean feeling "yoga pants comfortable" all the time, but you should have confidence in what you wear.

This is just really a jeans and tee outfit. But there's something about adding a scarf and fun shoes that makes you feel cute. My inspiration for this comes once again from Bridgette RaesThis post on how to wear Keds reminded me of my striped tee, anchor scarf, and red shoes. I've worn the shoes and scarf together before but I had not thought about pairing them with this tee.
 
I know it looks a little summery but it's still warm in places and I was visiting the Cape Henry lighthouse when I wore this, so the nautical approach seemed appropriate and I was glad for the weather to allow me to wear this. And as is typical, just a few days later the temps dropped, so you'll be seeing tall boot outfits soon.  The cooler temps are supposed to hold out for about three days, then we'll be back in the 80s.

The hubby and I just spent an amazing week relaxing in Virginia Beach, VA celebrating our tenth wedding anniversary. We slept in, took our dog for walks on the beach, and took in the sights. Now it's back to the grind this week, and it's going to be a busy one work wise.
 
This is an outfit I wore to work a couple of weeks ago. Nothing special, but I do love navy with camel. With the pop of red, it's a fall version of red, white and blue.
