Plaid & Neutrals

Saturday, February 02, 2019

I re-discovered this plaid jacket a few weeks back when I moved into the new closet. It had been hidden in a garment bag for... years?! months!? Sad to say, it was one of those out of sight, out of mind situations. I think one of the reasons this jacket slips the mind is because of the pattern. Solid colors are so much easier to mix and match with outfits, whereas patterned items often end up needing to be the statement piece.

See past outfits with this jacket: 1) with a fur stole, 2) with a chambray shirt, 3) with ankle boots, 4) pattern mixing, and 5) soft pastels (my favorite of them all!)

Navy / White / Cognac Brown

Wednesday, June 27, 2018

Today's outfit is inspired by a gorgeous wood colored adirondack chair with striped cushions from World Market. When I stumbled across this piece of furniture during one of my many work breaks, I turned into that emoji with hearts in their eyes. If only my home had some sort of outdoor space...! Because there's no way would I have left the store without one... or two.

Long time no blog! I'm slowly re-adjusting myself (physically and mentally) to life at home again. The last thing I want to do is go back to work, but unfortunately my leave bank is in the negative, lol. But going to work means I have new outfits to share! I packed 3 shirts, 2 pairs of pants, 1 coat, and 1 pair of shoes for a 2 week vacation, so I'm ecstatic to wear "new" clothes again.
