Too pretty to hide

Jacket- JCP option option

lace top- Nordstrom option option option

pants- Loft

booties- TJMaxx option option

necklace- Poshmark option option

earrings- JCP option option

worn Jan. 6, 2016

I added this mixed media moto jacket to my wardrobe during the holiday sales. I have far more opportunity to wear office attire than casual, so I paired it with this lace top and pencil pants for an office outfit. I started out the photos with the jacket zipped, but the top is too pretty to hide so I left it open. I think the jacket will work equally well with jeans off duty.

I was way past due a trip to the hair salon last week, so I twisted and pinned my bangs back just to get by one more day. Do you have any hair tricks for those last days when you really need to go to the salon for a cut and color? The twist helped hide the ridiculous grey streak I had down the middle.

5 ways to wear a faux fur vest

The faux fur vest is a piece that intimidates many. But it doesn't have to be that way. It's a matter of finding what works for you. I don't care for heavy thick "hairy" looking vest, but I snatched this one up on clearance four years ago and I haven't looked back. It works for me. Whatever your preference in a vest, here are five ways to wear it.

1. Over a sweater

2. With a sweater dress

3. With black

4. With plaid and jeans

5. With a pencil skirt and booties

The possibilities are endless. I have three more vest outfits in mind that I haven't worn yet.

Camel and navy

Blazer- Dorothy Perkins option option

sweater- Gap option option option

pants- Loft (last year) similar option

shoes- TJMaxx option option

necklace- Forever 21 option option

worn Jan. 4, 2016

There's just something about camel and navy that make it a classic winter combination. Add plaid to the mix and it's definitely screaming winter. These pieces made for a comfy and cozy, yet polished office look. It was a great way to start this week on Monday. But I'm still glad today is Friday.

It's supposed to rain tomorrow so I guess we are looking forward to another weekend indoors cleaning and organizing. Funny how a new year brings that on.

Fair Isle

Jacket- (old) Old Navy option option option

sweater- Target option option option

jeans- NYDJ/ Nordstrom option option option

boots- Nordstrom

earrings- gift option

worn Jan. 3, 2016

Fair isle prints have been around for a long time but seem to be really popular this season. I've seen lots of fair isle looks on bloggers this week. I promise I'm not just jumping on the fair isle blogger bandwagon. I wore this Sunday to run errands. I've had this sweater for a couple of years, but this is the first time it's made the blog. Too often it's dark when I change into more casual clothes in the evening, so some of my outfits just never make the blog.

It was actually cold enough for another layer, so I threw this light field jacket on over my sweater. I like the navy/burgundy combination with the pink and grey peeking out.

Did you know there really is a place called Fair Isle? And the origins of these knitting patterns can be traced there.
