Denim and joggers

 
 
 
 
 
Vest- Old Navy  option  option  option
tee- Belk  option  option
pants- Macy's  option  option  option
shoes- Macy's  option  option
necklace- JCP  option
earrings- The Limited  option  option
 
I wore this outfit last weekend to a cute "Mommy and me" photo session we did. It gave me flexibility to move around to take photos but still look somewhat put together. I did not own any sneakers for years, other than the ones I run in, but I have thoroughly enjoyed this pair of slip ons. Now that regular sneakers are becoming accepted as fashionable I may have to invest in another pair for wear other than running. Any suggestions?
 
Today is my Friday and beginning Friday and through the weekend we've got lots of plans. It's going to be  a busy weekend so I'll keep this short and get moving.

Grid pants

 
 
 
 
Top- thrifted  option   option  option
blazer Dress Barn  option  option
pants- Belk  option  option
shoes- TJ Maxx  option  option
necklace- JCrew Factory option  option
 
I was inspired by a Loft ad that came through my email to pair these pieces together. The ad showed a top this color with patterned black and white shorts. The shorts are really nothing like my pants, but I immediately thought of them.
 
Hope your having a great week so far!

Classic

 
 
 
 
 
Blazer- Gap  option  option
pants- Gap similar  option
blouse- Limited (sold out)  option   option 
necklace- gift (vintage)  option  option
shoes- Payless  option  option
 
Sometimes you just need to look polished and professional and not overdone. Those are the days I reach for my black suit. A pastel top and long strand of faux pearls keep it from looking too "heavy" for spring.
 
This strand of pearls belonged to my aunt who passed away when I was five. My cousin passed on some of her jewelry to me. She was a beautiful red head and loved clothes and jewelry. I'm sure we would have been the best of friends if she had lived longer.

Spring bags- Saturday shopping

We did a fun little "Mommy and me" photo session this morning so I'm just now getting back to the blog. Fringe and saddle bags are popular for spring this season, so here's a quick little round up of bags for your Saturday shopping.



Happy Shopping!

Dots and leopard





 


Cardigan- Target   option  option  option
shirt- JCrew Factory  option   option
pants- Loft  option  option  option
necklace- JCrew Factory (old) option   option    option 
belt- Target  option   option   
shoes- DSW   option  option  option
 
I felt like doing a little a pattern mixing this week and I thought these pieces were structured enough to get away with it at the office. Leopard is a neutral and polka dots go well with everything, so this was an easy mix to pull off. Stay with neutral colors and you've got it made.

This shirt comes and goes at JCrew Factory and isn't available now, but if it comes back, snatch it up. I've worn mine so many ways I've lost count. See nine ways here.
