A classic black suit should be in the closet of every business woman or woman who works in a professional office environment. When I don't know what to wear to work, or don't want to think about it, my black suit is my go to. This one is one the verge of needing to be replaced. It has seen a lot of wear. I've posted many outfits with it, but also refrained from posting it many times. Sometimes it seems too boring. But sometimes it's  good to have a reminder that it's okay to dress in classics.

I picked this blouse up on a whim a few months ago, but hey, it's stripes! And it adds a new twist to my black suit. I can't find it online now, but I've linked up some options.

Blush and black pinspired

This outfit was inspired by this pin.  I am now a fan of black on black and I could make this a daily outfit. I could seriously repeat this with every color blazer in my closet and it would work. Every. Single. Time. 

Spring picks and weekend sales

Spring is coming, even though we had some more cold weather the past three days, it will be here soon. The sales are pretty good right now, so get those wardrobes ready for spring.

5 reasons to join the GYPO Spring 2018 Challenge

The GYPO Spring 2018 Capsule Wardrobe is now open and available for purchase. If you have never joined a challenge of this type, here are five reasons why you should.

1. This one is better than ever! Seriously, I signed up for an annual membership so I already have full access. You get 31 days of outfits. This one gives you lots of color substitution options if the chosen color palette doesn't work for you and it also gives you ways to take the daily prompts and dress it up if you need an office outfit instead of a casual one. Can't wear white jeans to work? No problem, sub white trousers or ankle pants.

2. Spring is a new and fun season. If you want to update your wardrobe but not get too trendy, then the Spring 2018 Capsule Wardrobe is for you. The GYPO team has picked out some fun trendy items and mixed them with classic basics. You will get a full shopping list of links. You still get options, but your shopping will be focused and you will actually end up with pieces that create multiple outfits. 

3. You don't have to buy a bunch of clothes. Chances are you have many of the items in your closet. I always do, but yet I get inspiration for a new way to wear those pieces!

4. The private Facebook group! These are real women, with real jobs and real lives. Not superstar bloggers who wear tulle skirts and 4 inch heels to heaven only knows where.   Once you join in on the private Facebook group I just know that you’ll understand why I love this program so much. Not only is it making style easy, but it is building up a community of kind and caring women who support each other on their style (and life) journeys each and every day

5.Still not sure? You can try out the program risk free for the first 7 days of outfits. I am confident you will love what you see, but the refund option is available if needed. If you stick with it, you will also get the Spring 2017 challenge as a bonus!

Hope you have a great weekend!
