I love this skirt but this is the first time I've worn it this summer. (Too many clothes?) I was inspired by Banana Republic to pair it with a plain tee knotted at the waist. Below are three other ways I've worn it. I noticed I always wore nude shoes with it before too- three different pair, but all nude.

How do you dress up gingham for work? I threw on a blazer and faux pearl statement necklace. I took inspiration for this outfit from Extra Petite but swapped the skirt for pants.  Later the same day, I wore the gingham shirt with white jeans and red flats. I love versatile pieces that go from office to casual. What are some of your favorite versatile pieces of clothing?

When I fail to put together an outfit for work the night before, I go to this easy formula- matching suit, colorful top and statement necklace. Works every time. I also love how the dark brown belt and shoes set this off.

Just a very casual outfit for errands on a Saturday. I tried to punch it up with some bright accessories.
 
Totally off topic- my otherwise fierce courageous beautiful shephard is afraid of thunder and lightning. It has stormed for the last two nights and she has barked, whined, and yelped for hours during the night. I'm so sleepy right now I can barely type. Any advice?

White pants





 
Blazer- Cato option
blouse- JCrew factory
pants- Loft (sold out)  option option
shoes- Payless option
earrings- Target option
Worn July 24, 2014
 
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 23

Here is another look for the sleeveless blazer that I had to copy. This one I was able to turn into a work appropriate outfit by swapping jeans for trousers. Luckily the top was already in my closet and the vest gave it new life as it has not been worn in a while.

More blue and white



 
Shirt- Ralph Lauren (thrifted) option option
jeans- Loft option option
belt- Target option
sandals- Target option option
Worn July 22, 2014
 
I have been stuck on blue and white for a while now. Every outfit I put together in my head has blue and white, and maybe another color, but blue and white. I have to force myself to move on so I'm not wearing the same color every day.  In spite of my blue and white obsession, these jeans have not seen enough wear, so I obliged my inner self and wore them last week to an appointment.
 
This outfit was inspired by Merrick
 
 
I love the pop of pink in the belt.
 
Thanks for stopping by.
