Hits and a Miss

Monday, November 16, 2015

As I look at the top half of my outfit, I'm thinking, hey looks pretty good! Then as my eyes slowly travel downwards, those happy thoughts soon turn to a grimace. I really should've gone with solid pumps -- hell, even plain ol' black pumps will do. So do me a favor? Skim over the first photo and focus on the second instead ;)

2 Ways - Business Casual in Holiday Colors

Monday, November 09, 2015

I can't believe that holidays are just around the corner. As soon as pumpkin spice offerings hit stores, it was only a matter of time before Thanksgiving and Christmas-related merchandise followed. I've always claimed to be Scrooge-like during the holiday season, so what prompted me to consciously wear olive green, red, and plaid multiple times over the last couple weeks? Like the real Scrooge, perhaps there is hope for me after all.

In the Woods

Saturday, November 07, 2015

Wearing a spring-like outfit when it's clearly fall? It's not a head scratcher when I pause to recall that temperatures were almost in the 80s yesterday. 80! I'm seriously loving this weather.

Blazer Weather

Tuesday, November 03, 2015

I bought a couple blazers over the summer during end-of-the-season sales. The savings were great but having to wait until the weather cooperated tried my patience. So to the back of my closet they go. Out of sight, out of mind. Now that fall is legitimately in full swing, I'm fully embracing blazer season! I still plan on going bare-legged for as long as I can, but certainly am having fun playing with layers again.
