I'm waiting for the day that my male boss and I both go into work wearing the same plaid shirt. Okay, so his doesn't have ruffles, but the pattern and color scheme are exactly like mine. Also, given my penchant for cargo pants, there's a very likely chance we'd look like twins from head to toe. Just in case the matching outfits become too embarrassing, I'll be sure to have a sweater handy.

The unseasonably warm weather this week has me pining for an early spring. It's probably wishful thinking on my part, so I'll be enjoying it while it lasts, with a little floral pattern in tow.

Have a good Wednesday!

My favorite way to mix and match my wardrobe for seemingly new looks is to change up just a few items (sorry if I'm repeating myself). Sometimes the change is quite apparent at first glance, while other times it's more subtle.

For today's outfit, I simply took the summer version then added a few winter accessories for a new look. One issue I have with wearing tights is finding the right balance on top. The dress is sleeveless, so the notion of bare arms with covered legs seem unbalanced (funny because I don't mind when I'm covered up top while going bare-legged). I solved this issue by covering my arms with a blazer. Another alternative is to wear a turtleneck with tights. Voila! A dress that takes me from warm to cold weather and back.

Inspired by this photo, I was all set to swap out the denim jacket for my chambray shirt. However, I hadn't counted on the shirt hem being longer than the blazer, therefore making the outfit look sloppier than I'd like. With three layers on top of one another, each shorter than the previous, the combination just looked odd. One piece had to go, so the chambray shirt it was.

Have a good weekend, everyone!

I'm kicking off 2013 with yet another outfit featuring this bright red turtleneck. The holidays may be over but my cheery mood is staying. Be warned, this is only the beginning with many more red turtleneck outfits to come!
