You would think that by now I would be better at coming up with post titles, but wit is not my gift. So you get titles pulled straight from the outfit description.

You've seen all of these pieces before, but not together. I love having a neutral suit that works with so many other pieces.

Mustard top- 3 ways

 

                                   1                                2                         3

 

 

I love how mustard plays so well with jewel tones and fall and winter colors. Above are three ways I've worn this knit mustard top. Below is the last way that I wore it. I happened to have the blouse next to the teal blazer in the closet for some reason or other and loved how the two looked together, so a new outfit was born.

 

Excuse the photos below. I have a new camera and I tried the auto and tungsten white balance and both are awful inside my house. I did some very rudimentary editing. Total color correction was changing the color of the blazer too much so I only corrected the door back to white.  I guess I need to set a custom white balance for my house. Those grey pants are the same in one and three above but look almost brown in the third photo thanks to the color cast indoors. And yes, the sidelights in my door look weird, but the Christmas lighs outside are having an effect.

Today's post is going up late because the dog vomitted in her kennel overnight. That was fun to wake up to. My morning time before work was spent giving the dog a sponge bath that didn't help much so she just got another full bath. Bella smells good now.

Winter essential- beanies

Hi, hope you all  had a great week. I decided to do a quick post on a winter essential that would be a fun and useful Christmas gift- the beanie. Works for guys and gals alike. Here is a round up of fun beanies for the girls:

I'm not sure what to say except I'm so glad it's Friday! What a long week. Holiday buzz is in full swing. I arrived home yesterday to a stack of packages almost as high as the entryway trees at my door. Now someone has to wrap all that stuff.

Let's talk for a minute about a different wrap, or the blanket scarf. I love this one. It's so cozy. I purchased another one earlier in the season but have not had the opportunity to wear it yet. This one has been worn twice now.

I love it when I can try a trend without spending a lot. Such is the case with this elbow patch shirt. Elbow patches seem to be popular this fall, so when I found this shirt on clearance at Target, I scooped it up. The fact that it is plaid made the decision even easier.

My go to casual shoes this fall have been my riding boots. They are quite comfortable and work with jeans, leggings and skirts. Do you have a pair? A brown pair is on my wish list.

Navy and burgundy, stripes and florals- both good mixes. I find it hard to dress for work in the winter time. I rely on scarves over blazers a lot. Most of my scarves are very neutral and are black or grey. I've decided to add a little color to my scarf collection and thought this floral print would make a nice addition.

So... are you ready for Christmas? We are in the middle of decorating. The outside is pretty much done. I just need to add a few touches to the porch. The inside of the house needs some attention next.

Happy Hump Day! So glad to see it. After the whirlwind of activity last weekend, I have been dragging this week.

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.
