I'm loving this beautiful mild weather we have had lately. I think it makes me want to be at the beach  or on the ocean because I was channeling nautical vibes again for a Saturday outing. This blouse was a "what the heck, it's on clearance" purchase a couple of years ago, but has been a great addition to the closet. Sometimes those purchases made on a whim don't work out but I love this one. I can wear it for both work and play. And this striped tote has been a versatile summer bag as well.

Lots of old pieces in this outfit, but put together in a new way. I wore the blouse and scarf together this way a couple of years ago. You can't see them in the photos, but the pants actually have a faint pinstripe in them, so I've got some subtle pattern mixing going on. You can treat pinstripes just like solid neutrals.

This is just really a jeans and tee outfit. But there's something about adding a scarf and fun shoes that makes you feel cute. My inspiration for this comes once again from Bridgette RaesThis post on how to wear Keds reminded me of my striped tee, anchor scarf, and red shoes. I've worn the shoes and scarf together before but I had not thought about pairing them with this tee.
 
I know it looks a little summery but it's still warm in places and I was visiting the Cape Henry lighthouse when I wore this, so the nautical approach seemed appropriate and I was glad for the weather to allow me to wear this. And as is typical, just a few days later the temps dropped, so you'll be seeing tall boot outfits soon.  The cooler temps are supposed to hold out for about three days, then we'll be back in the 80s.

Red, white, and blue for work or play

With the Fourth of July coming this weekend, I thought it be fun to round up ways to dress in red, white and blue. It's a classic combination I go to year round, not just for patriotic holidays. All of these are from my archives:

We have had temps in the 80's this week so I had to adjust my wardrobe a little. I don't like to be too non-seasonal at the time regardless of the temps, so I stayed with dark colors but pulled out the nautical top since I'm feeling summer here. I added a couple of pops of red to keep it from being too boring. And don't get too jealous- the temps have crashed from 80 to 40 overnight. I know that 40 would be nice to many of you, but the major fluctuations are annoying.

7 Pieces, 7 Outfits

Today I'm playing along with Walking in Grace and Beauty and Ma Nouvelle Mode for a 7x7 remix challenge. I love these challenges because they get me to take a good look at my wardrobe and come up with outfits I probably otherwise would not have.

I picked 7 pretty basic pieces. Truthfully, I find them boring to remix but I wanted to challenge myself to see how different I could make them with shoes and accessories since those don't count in the 7 pieces. I truly believe that shoes can totally change the vibe of an outfit.

Here's an overview of my seven outfits:


 
My seven pieces of clothing:
1- Old Navy anchor blouse similar
2- Red pencil skirt- similar
3-white jeans- Loft
4- gingham button up similar
5-black midi skirt Dorothy Perkins
6- black lace top similar
7- red shorts similar
 
Now here's a closer look at each outfit for you:

Anchors away






Blouse- Old Navy option option
skirt- thrifted option 
scarf- Forever 21
earrings- Target similar

When I came across this anchor print blouse on clearance at Old Navy, I could not resist. I knew it would be perfect for the summer and the nautical/ anchor trend is so popular right now. Same with the scarf- when I saw the price drop at Forever 21, I had to get it. I paired the blouse with a skirt to make a dressy work outfit, but it will go just as well with jeans and shorts.
