Navy Tie Top: Forever XXI. Short Sleeve Cardi: Macy’s. Belt: Gifted. Skirt: Mossimo. Shoes: Fioni.
It’s hard to tell in the above pic, but this little sweater has the most precious rosettes! I always adore those feminine soft details. Silk bow, rosettes, pleated skirt, pink belt, ruffled polka dot peep toes… yep, definitely a girly girl today.
Same top & skirt, 2 varying looks!
Whether you work in a more conservative office or one with a bit more flexibility, you can always find options with great foundation pieces.

Some may tell me these colors don’t “go”, but I challenge them and say that they do! :)
I like to bring fun color and a bit of pattern into outfits whenever I can, and overall I think the blend worked as the main focus was still on the green dress.
This belt was a stellar find for $1 while I was in Hilton Head. It’s a little old-school, but I think maybe that’s why I like it… LOL

Last week at work we had our leadership team in town (= all day meetings). I choose to go with something sleek and sophisticated, with just a little spice but still very professional. It worked well for the day and the dinner to follow except that the meeting room we were in was quite cold, so halfway through the day I had to cover up with a jacket. I hated to break up the ensemble, but let’s face it - sometimes you’ve got to be practical.
I love tie tops! I think they remind me of ruffles… or something… Tie tops are just fun to me and always seem to add that special little touch of interest. Plus they’re great for layering!

Some other tie tops of mine:
Yay for bare legs! I’m still feeling “springy” and am loving the little bit of warmer weather we’ve experienced recently here in Cincinnati.
I felt a bit more overdone today than normal – tie top, stud detailing, belt, ruffle & polka dots on the shoes, etc.. it was a lot of “stuff” for me, but I decided to go with it and I ended up really liking the mix.

So yesterday is finally past and I was able to get up on the right side of the bed this morning.
It also helped to listen to “Bright Side of the Road” by Van Morrison and “Say Hey I Love You” by Michael Franti & Spearhead. Seriously – I couldn’t help but smile and do a little jig :)
Now my focus is to keep myself more active and busy outside of work. That always helps me from getting overwhelmed about work and will keeps me energized and motivated overall.
I’d like to get out and visit some of the extended Cincinnati area museums, parks, restaurants, shops, etc…
Any recommendations? send them my way!
