Weekend Blues

Scarf: Gifted.  Blue pinstripe top: Express.  Vest: Thrifted.  Jeans: Gap.  Shoes: BCBG.  Bracelet: Forever XXI.

 

This weekend had a perfect crisp chill in the air.  A vest and scarf were enough to keep me warm! 

I often like to bring in color with shoes, but since I brought in some fun orange and yellow with my other accessories - I kept my shoes neutral (they still had a fun stripe though!).

 

Satin, Lace, and Scarves

Scarf: H&M.  Blue top: ?  Lace top: Newport News.  Gray Skirt: apt 9.  Shoes: Sam and Libby.

I love scarves, but hardly ever wear them in the summer because it’s just too damn hot!  That said, my office is always freezing and so is the bus that I take from my car to my office building.  I figured that gave me as good an excuse as any to make this scarf a summer attire item.

Another fun item rarely worn are my satin flower “dancing shoes”.  They are pretty delicate, so I always worry about them getting ruined.  Today I told myself that I need to relax and enjoy them!

My last special item of the day was my lace undershirt.  I adore the light pink lace look, but it’s a pain to get on and button in the back.  It’s also not the most comfortable thing, and I am all about being at ease.  I sucked it up today and just enjoyed it for what it was (a bit uncomfortable top that I still adore). 

European Fashion

  

Earlier today, someone at work was talking about the fabulous fashion that Europeans have.  He noted that a European peer of ours who was visiting Cincinnati was wearing purple heels and a trendy scarf and belt.  I may not have had the belt on today – but I realized as he was talking that I had on purple heels and a fun scarf!  Maybe I was meant to be European…  LOL

I think I actually have 7-8 purple pairs of shoes, so I should definitely be set.  Paris, here I come!

Spring Day #2

     

White Ruffle Button Up: INC.  Pink Lace Cardigan: Forever XXI.  Black Slacks: NY & Co.  Pumps: Nine West.  Earrings: Anne Klein.  Scarf: H&M.

I’m inadvertently carrying on the “spring theme”.  I didn’t even realize it until I posted these pictures – but here I am in pink and flowers again!  LOL

I’ve been trying to get outside the last few days to enjoy the nicer weather – and it’s been wonderful!  I think I need to move farther south so I can have warm weather all the time!

As for the clothes…  pretty business basic (as usual), but I love the lace and button detailing of this blouse.  The only problem is that I find it really hard to wear since the tie at the top doesn’t work with a lot of necklines…  I may try it with some dresses next time around.
