I've been itching to add some soft blush pink or rose quartz to my wardrobe. A peek into my closet reminded me that it was already there in this vest. I'm still looking for a blouse or a sweater in the color, but I decided to give the vest a go again.  I'll admit that the first time I styled this vest, I wasn't crazy about the results. Maybe it was the wider leg pants. I think it looks better this go around with the pencil pants, but I wish the tailor had taken it in just a bit more. I do like the look of the vest with stripes. (This shirt was last seen here, and looks totally different with the vest.)

 

So, what's an appropriate number of blog photos? I've visited this topic before but just read an article from a big blogger who suggested 10 or more, but not 30. 30- whoa! And even 10 is a bit much for me.  I'll admit I get bored with scrolling after about 5 photos, so I keep my photos to 3-5. Unless you are showing me a different detail in each photo, more photos just aren't necessary. Fellow bloggers, what is your comfort level for an appropriate number of photos per post?

1 skirt- 5 ways

We are going to have weather in the 70s and 80s this week, so I'm thinking about skirts. This grey one is a favorite of mine so I decided to round up ways I've worn it for you. Here are five ways:

Apparently I like wearing the polka dot popover and the black booties with this skirt? Did you notice each had been paired with it twice? Oh, and the black blazer.  If a formula works, go with it. You don't have to make drastic changes to come up with a new outfit.

 

I would have made a collage for side by side comparisons, but Picmonkey isn't cooperating. Can anyone suggest a program or templates for collages?

This was my Valentine's Day outfit for running errands. I kept it comfy, warm and low key because we have been battling a stomach virus. No Valentine meal or celebration for us, just curling up on the couch to watch the Walking Dead.

Plaid shirt- four ways

Happy Monday! I hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day, and if you have today off as well, go do something fun!

I thought it was due time for a remix post so I'm sharing four ways I've worn my red plaid shirt. You can do this with any color plaid, just change up the color scheme of your other pieces.

1. Layer with a graphic sweater (original post)

2.  With jeans and a statement necklace. (original post)

3.  With a vest and booties. (original post)

4.  Under a sweater and vest. (original post)
