I last wore this blouse with all black. This time I mixed it up with a white blazer and striped pumps. I was going to throw a little print in with a leopard pendant necklace, but I could not find my necklace. I've since located it but I had to go with what I could find quickly to get out the door that day.

 

 Do you have those moments where you have planned an outfit in your head and then can't find the pieces?

 

If you are able to be off work to celebrate today, I hope you enjoy yourself, but let's all remember why we have this day. I'm grateful to those who sacrificed their lives for my freedom.

 

Have you been shopping the Nordstorm half yearly sale? I've ordered this striped knot tee in two colors. I'll let you know what I think when it gets here. See my under $25 and under $50 picks here.

Hello! I am enjoying my day off by sleeping in and being lazy, thus the late post. A few weeks back I got a little stumped with outfits for work. I had read about others who wear a "uniform" of black and white to take the guess work out of it and make it easier so I thought, why not? It would be an easy week. I had enough black and white to squeeze through a week.

 

So I this week I will be presenting to you a week of black and white outfits. The first one was what could be very boring to some, even to me- black suit, white button up. Just for a little character I added striped pumps and a statement necklace.

I've gotten a lot of wear out of these white pants during this capsule. And I'm not going to stop wearing them when it's over. Speaking of ending, I'm going to stop this capsule at the end of this month. I know  I could make another three weeks worth of outfits, but I am so bored with this. I feel like they are just becoming a switch of a bottom or a switch of a top and not really a different outfit. Sometimes a simple switch of a piece is all it takes, but sometimes it's really boring. But there's always striped shoes to combat boredom!

I'm getting bored with my wardrobe. I need for it to officially be spring so I can move on. We are having the weather for spring this week. To curb the boredom, I'm pulling out some of my fun shoes. I pulled out the striped ones this week.

 

Speaking of spring, I'm been looking over my wardrobe and I have remixed some of those pieces to death over the last three to four years, so I'm itching for some new things. Problem is, I'm not seeing anything I'm really in love with at the stores right now. Can you direct me to some must have pieces?

After a two to three year search, I found a pair of white pants and I have put them to good use this summer. They have been in frequent rotation. I paired them here with the JCrew Factory cutaway top in emerald pool. I had the shirt on my wish list for a long time and finally purchased it during a sale last month. I added a blazer for the office because my work environment is very conservative and I was afraid some might frown on the back.

 

Here are three other ways I've worn my white pants:  1,  2,  3

This outfit was inspired by Shanna. I don't have an appropriate graphic tee for this look, so I went with an eyelet/embroidered floral top. It's hard to see the little flower detail. It looks plain in the photos. Nonetheless, it's a fun way to wear a midi skirt, bright blazer and striped shoes. 

 

Hope you had a great Memorial Day. We went on a little weekend getaway so now I'm rushing to get back into the regular swing of things. Still worth the getaway.

Finally- a pair of white pants. For the past two to three years, I have tried on numerous pairs of white pants. It's one of those items that has to fit just right and can't be too thin. I got serious about finding a pair of white pants this year because I keep pinning outfits with white bottoms. I tried out pairs from Gap, Limited and Loft. Just like with the boyfriend jeans and the white jeans, Loft won! The pants I tried from each retailer passed the test on not being "see through" but the fit was not right from Gap or Limited.

This first debut of the white pants was inspired by a display I saw at Macy's. Sometimes a shopping trip is a success without a purchase. The displays can be sources of outfit inspiration. I saw a black/white graphic top paired with cobalt and instantly thought of this blouse in my closet. To kick it up, I added the striped pumps.

I saw these shoes on the Payless website and made a mental note that they would be a fun pair to have but I wasn't sure about them. Then I saw a couple of other bloggers wearing them and knew they looked great in real life. Final confirmation came when I saw yet another blogger wear a striped pair of flats with business attire. I made a trip to Payless and they had my size in store.

 

I wore these to work and kept the outfit conservative. I got compliments on these all day.
