Saturday shopping


UPDATE: Now through July 28, get 35% off with code COOL.

Today online at Old Navy (online only and today only) take %30 off your order. They have already lowered prices and you'll save even more today. Here are my picks for back to school, early fall, or to wear now. According to the Pantone Fall color report shades of olive (dried herb and desert sage) and of course marsala will be popular. I'd grad the floppy hat in marion berry and the bucket bag in asparagus.


Have  great weekend and happy shopping!

The unworn list

I have a list of unworn items in my closet. Some are new items and some are older items that I didn't wear last year. You know how they say if you haven't worn it in a year, it needs to go. I struggle with that because I can't wear some of these items to work, so they are for weekend or Sunday only. That's only 52 opportunities. Cut that down to about half for each season and the opportunities are less. That means I don't really need some of these pieces, but I love them anyway so they hang around (pun intended).
 
This silk maxi skirt was on the list. I picked it up for $5 at our local thrift store last summer. LAST SUMMER- oops. I didn't wear it until recently. Don't let the bright color throw you. It will pair nicely with lots of neutrals, including chambray and leopard. I started with grey. This silk tee was a clearance purchase a few years ago and has seen a good bit of recent wear. I seem to rotate through things that way. This tee is one of those great items that can be worn for work or play.
 
Hope you have a great weekend. Linking up here:

Or button down? Which is it? I think some use it interchangeably now. I think the correct use is button down for men's shirts with button down collars. A button up is a man or woman's shirt that buttons up the front. Either way, mine is wildy patterned and bright.
 
I've worn this shirt before under a sweater:
 
 
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are having a great week!

ring- DIY
 
 
I finally had a day at work suitable for wearing a skirt. Of course I chose a pencil skirt. It's my go to choice for the office, but outside of work, I love a full midi or aline skirt. I had this top and skirt combination in my head last year and never got around to wearing it. This top has an open back that's not suitable for my office so I also threw a cropped black blazer over it. And who would have thought that you could find a stunning pair of statement earrings at Tuesday Morning? for around $6? I'll let you in on a little secret. I rarely never pay more than $10 for a pair of earrings. I love costume jewelry and the cheaper, the better. This ring is a DIY from a vintage clip on earring. I just cut the clip off and glued it  to a ring base from the craft store.

Drapey pants

I picked up both of these pieces over Memorial Day weekend during a brief stop at the new Tanger Outlet in Pooler. It took me a while to get around to wearing them because they are too casual for work. I didn't buy them to wear together but it worked out. Black/white stripes + olive always work. These pants are a great pair of "fat pants." You know what I mean, when you feel a little bigger or bloated and you want loose comfy pants? These fit the bill. They will be a great item for me to move into fall with as well because our fall season tend to be a bit warm.
