Silver shoes


 
Blazer- Ross  option
blouse- JCPenney  option  option  option
skirt- JCPenney
necklace- thrifted  option
shoes- Banana Republic  option  option
worn May 11, 2015
 
The silver shoes were a last minute decision. I had originally planned to wear black pumps but then I thought about the silver shoes and decided they would go nicely with the grey blazer. I'm glad I decided on them, even though I got a strange look from security at my office building. Then again the same guy was looking at my "field" footwear the next day, so maybe he has a shoe or foot fetish.
 
I know I'm always vague about work but it's a policy to not discuss or list our place of work on social media, so I keep the details off the blog. I know that I've referred to field attire before, and while I can't explain it's purpose, let's just say it's functional but not fashionable so you will never see it here.  Curiosity is killing you , isn't it?

The other half of Lavendar





Blazer- old   option   option   option
blouse- Loft via Poshmark  option     option
necklace- Banana Republic (old)  option   option
shoes- Banana Republic   option   option
 
This blazer is the other half of the matching suit set I talked about here. The one that taunts me. So I put the blazer in my spring capsule. It's my challenge piece. I like this pairing better than the last couple of times I tried to wear it. I've also cut off the inside buttons and tabs. It just didn't look good buttoned and the buttons/closures looked silly dangling unbuttoned.
 
The silver shoes were an impromptu add on. I had planned to wear nude shoes because of the pattern and all the colors here but I was in a hurry and found these first. I thought, lavender, blue, silver- that could work so on the feet they went and out the door I was.

JCrew Inspired



 
Sweater- Loft (thrifted) option
pants- Belks option option
necklace- JCrew Factory  option
worn Nov. 24, 2014
 
This outfit was inspired completely by the JCrew Factory website. I've worn this sweater with navy before but when I saw the inspiration outfit, grey was the obvious choice. Sometimes I miss the obvious. The best thing was that I was able to pull everything straight from my closet. I love how well the silver shoes work with this.

Red, white and blue



 
Blazer- Belk's option option option
Worn August 20, 2014
 
Another blogger pointed out yesterday that this is technically the last week to wear white. Um...I'm not ready for that. I know a lot of you are looking forward to fall and even experiencing it, but we had temps over 100 last week so I still have summer on the brain. And I still have summer dresses and outfits to wear. I can't seem to get around to them all because I can only wear some of them to church due to the restrictive conservative work dress code I'm required to follow. 
 
So... I'm not sure I'll follow the rules outside of work. I may keep wearing white even after next week.
 
I based this off this outfit that I pinned. I'd love to go with shirt tail out like the inspiration photo, but that might be frowned upon at work.

Silver shoes



 
Blouse- old- TJMaxx option option
skirt- old  option     option   option
Worn August 5, 2014
 
This skirt is one of those items that I have held onto for a long time because I love it on the hanger but then not so much on me. I think I'm hanging onto it as a challenge to find the perfect way to style it. It had a matching top and I did let that go a couple of years ago. I'm over "matchy matchy" and tend to avoid that now days unless I'm wearing a business suit.

Do you have those items that you have a "love on the hanger" relationship with?

Spring/summer tweed



 
jacket- Macy's
shirt- Sears option option
pants- Loft
shoes- Banana Republic option
purse- Kenneth Cole Reaction option option
Worn May 31, 2014
 
I picked up this jacket for less than $25 on clearance at Macy's last month. A perfect addition for spring and summer. As much as I like green, I really don't have much of it in my closet, so this piece is a good addition for that reason also. It has little silver threads in it so I was prompted to pair it with my silver pumps. I also played up the black and white.

Pop of neon



 
Blouse- Target option option option
Blazer- Lord and Taylor (clearance last year) option option
pants- TJMaxx option
belt- Target option
Worn May 5, 2014
 
I'm not really into neon. It's one of those trends from my teens and early twenties that could have stayed there as far as I'm concerned and I don't think it's really huge this year, but it is still out there. What I am into is mint and this neon pink belt was the perfect pop of bright pink with my mint blouse. I was inspired by this outfit by Polka Dots and Purses. I wanted to recreate a work appropriate look and jeans are not acceptable at my job. I also don't have pink shoes, but liked the pop against white and mint, so I decided a hot pink belt would be a much more useful purchase for me. Just for fun I went with silver shoes. Those had been big on my wish list and I finally used a huge chunk of rewards and got this pair from Banana Republic. I love the lower heel.
 
Hoping you have a great week!
