Black and white and cobalt

Soft wide leg pants

These pants fit two of my favorite categories for summer pants- soft pants and wide leg pants. When it's hot out but I need to wear pants, I turn to these. Soft wide leg pants are breezy and cool, yet easy to dress up.

This outfit was created out of a need for something that didn't need ironing and could get me out the door  quickly. I had already wasted too much time on hair. I was pretty sure that I had already worn something similar but I couldn't find it in my archives.  You can see five ways I've previously worn these pants here and a look back at the blouse here. I suppose this outfit would be another nod to fall.

 

My attempt to style the new haircut led to some accidental waves and curls, so I just went with it and created beachy waves all over. I actually got compliments on my hair this day. I attempted the waves two other days before I got my hair cut again, but they didn't turn out quite as well as they did this day. I have a lot of hair, thick hair. Curling or creating beachy waves takes a lot of time that I usually don't have in the mornings. I am NOT a morning person.

Instagram lately

 I haven't done an Instagram round up lately, so here are a few outfits that made Instagram and not the blog.

I think this first outfit is incredibly boring, but saved by the necklace and shoes.

 

top- old

blazer- thrifted

pants- JCP

shoes- Nordstrom

 

 

Chartreuse and navy pinstripes? Yes! I think this was the first time I added a necklace with this top because it has it's own embellishment, but the long necklace works.

 

Blazer- Gap

pants- Gap

blouse/necklace JCP

 

Again- just boring to me, saved by the necklace and shoes, although I probably would not repeat the necklace with this.

 

 

 

Blazer/ pants- The Limited

blouse- The Limited

shoes- TJMaxx

 

Cobalt! Need I say more.

 

Blazer/ pants- The Limited

blouse- JCP

shoes- Payless

 

That's a lot of navy. Maybe that was my brain's subconscious switch from black to navy for spring?

I tend to get on a color kick and repeat that color over and over for a while. The week before I wore this I wore cobalt and black. This time I paired cobalt with grey. I also wore this blazer and these pants with stripes and leopard recently. I love how pieces just mix and remix for new outfits.

Mustard print skirt - four ways

Skirt- Loft  option  option

blouse- Express via Threadflip  option  option  option

boots- Shoes.com  option  option  option

necklace- Lulu's  option  option  option 

worn Oct. 18, 2015

 

 

This skirt is no longer available. I picked it up last season, but still love it. You may be intimidated by a pattern like this, but you can pretty much treat this one like a solid mustard skirt and pair it with a variety of tops. I was inspired by a pin I saw to pair it with cobalt. It was actually cool enough for my tall boots last weekend (at least with a skirt), so I pulled them out.

 

 

Here are the ways I wore this skirt last year:  here/ here/ and here

worn Sept 23, 2015

 

Since the calendar said it was officially fall, I busted out a pair of booties. These work well for the office, but I rarely wear them casually. You may also remember this cobalt sweater from last September's 30x30 remix.   I wore it four ways during that remix, including pairing it with black slacks. I wore it with a red blazer then. Funny how changing shoes, accessories and your topper, or completer piece (blazer) can make yet another new outfit. If you have some good base pieces, you don't need lots of clothes to have a workable wardrobe.
