Four go to outfit formulas to get you through the rest of winter

Four "go to" outfit formulas to get your through the rest of winter- that's a long title. But that's exactly what this is. Winter is wearing on many of you and inspiration may be lacking. You may be tempted to reach for the same sweater and jeans, but these formulas will get you through the last of winter with a little variety.  Many of you have a few weeks of winter left and it's uncertain for the rest of us. The next two days will be in the 80s for us and 70s most of next week here. That has everyone itching to transition to spring. Even if you want to transition to spring, you can still use these formulas by using spring colors.

Outfit formula



 
Sweater- (old) Loft option  option
skirt- The Limited (old)  option  option  option
shoes- Banana Republic (old)   option  option 
clutch- Nordstrom  option  option  option
bracelet- Kendra Scott
 
This is an outfit formula I've relied on before- pencil skirt and sweater+ heels.  Since this sweater makes it's own statement, I went with more of a statement heel instead of adding a necklace. I also threw on a couple of other interesting pieces, like the Kendra Scott ring and cuff. The ring was from my last Rocksbox. I hated to send it back but relented and did so. Maybe it will be on my wish list again.  Have you tried Rocksbox? It's fun to get mail that's not bills, and you can try it out for a month free with code FONDABFF. Treat yourself in the New Year!

Nordstrom sale outfit ideas

The Nordstrom anniversary sale is open for public access today. If you have been watching or thinking about some items and wondering how to wear them, let me show you. I've created three outfits from the items I put in my picks, plus a few extras.  Outfits #1 and #3 would be perfect for fall.


Outfit #1

Nordstrom fall outfit
Panacea Beaded Circle Pendant Necklace • $15.90
Two by Vince Camuto Sleeveless Waffle Stitch Cowl Neck Sweater • $45.90
TOMS Majorca Peep Toe Bootie • Toms • $59.97
NYDJ 'Ami' Colored Stretch Super Skinny Jeans (Regular & Petite) • NYDJ • $75.90

If the sweater has sold out and not restocked, you could always substitute this sweater, this sweater or this top for late summer/early fall.

Outfit #2

I've already got a similar tunic sweater I bought from Nordstrom last year and I've got boyfriend jeans in my closet. The scarf,   bracelet,  and booties are hopefully on their way to me and I can't wait to wear this outfit. I hope the booties fit.  This scarf would work too.

Colorful bottoms


 
 
 
 
Blazer- Gap  option
blouse- JCPenney (on sale!)
skirt- JCPenney (on sale!)
shoes- gifted option  option  option
Worn April 29, 2015
  
I finally got around to wearing the hot pink pencil skirt I put in my spring capsule. I can't believe how quickly a month went by! It's already May now and summer will be quickly approaching.  I guess this has become another little outfit formula for me- black/ white on top + a colorful bottom. You could use this with pants, casual shorts outfits, or any style of outfit.
Do you see the cute little peep toe pumps? A co-worker gave them to me! We wear the same size shoe and she brought me 7 pairs of shoes that she cannot wear because she really needs a narrow shoes and once she wears a pair twice she decides she can't wear them. Free shoes?! Yes please.

I last wore this top with black pants and a colorful blazer:

Another easy formula





 
V-neck Sweater- Target similar  option option
shoes- Banana Republic option  option
bracelet- JCPenney  option option
necklace- Lulu's  option
worn Oct. 23, 2014
 
Remember the easy formula outfit I posted a few weeks ago? This one is very similar, but came straight from Redbook- pencil skirt + vneck sweater+ heels+ arm candy.  I think it helps if the heels are statement heels too. They can shine when you wear a solid sleek base.
 
And just a note to self- I need to check the length and fit of sweaters. I probably need to stick with petite sweaters. The length of this one is making it bunch and add bulk around the middle- not something I want or need. Oh, the things I learn from these photos.
