07*17*09 - A week late!

Red striped tee: Kohls

Purple swing jacket: Fossil.com

Black pants: Kohls

Black wedges: Aerosoles via DSW

Necklace: made by me

I bought this tee probably over a year ago b/c they were practically giving it away. But, I got it home, didn't like the way it fit, and let it hang in my closet until now. Then I discovered that if I wore it underneath something, I liked it a lot more. Yeah for layering! Purple and red is one of my new favorite color combos. Dark purple is almost a neutral for me - I haven't tried anything with it that I have not liked.

07*01*09 Grrrrr

Red tee: Kohls
Black skirt: TJ Maxx (old)
Scarf: Grandma's or ebay (either way its old!)
Peep toe wedges: Aerosoles via DSW

Once again, this is a skirt I hardly ever wear. It came with a cute black and white polka dot scarf belt, but every time I put it on I felt like I was going to a sock hop. So, I tried it with the leopard scarf today. I can't decide if I like the look or not - is it cute or frumpy?

06*30*09

Black Tank: Old Navy
Flowered Top: JTB via Gordmans
Cardi: Old Navy
Pants: ???, probably JcPenney
Flats: Apt 9 via Kohls
Necklace: gift from Mom & Dad

This is another top that I've probably worn once or twice. It's low cut and shows quite a bit of back skin, so I had to make it work appropriate with the tank and cardigan. I tried the trick from academichic of using the shirt's tie to belt the cardigan. I found myself readjusting it quite a bit today, but I like the look. Yeah for trying something new :)

Ok, these pants did not look like this when I looked in the mirror! What is with that??? They actually looked and felt more fitted and the length looked good with flats. Now I'm seeing baggy pants that are too narrow and long for flats. I seriously need to re-evaluate my pants selection!

06*29*09 Peek-a-boo

Tank: Old Navy
Cardi: Worthington via JcPenney
Pants: Worthington via JcPenney
Wedges: Aerosoles via DSW
Necklace: Macy's clearance

This is one of my favorite cardigans (and I have A LOT of cardigans!) I bought it on clearance about 3 or 4 years ago and get compliments almost every time I wear it. I usually wear it buttoned up so the color of my top just peeks through, but I like this look, too. I bought this necklace a few weeks ago for $4.99. Love it!

06*26*09 Finally Friday

Top: Kohls
Belt: Kohls
Pants: Mix It via JcPenney
Snakeskin wedges (not pictured): DSW

I swapped out the fabric tie on this top for a belt. I don't remember the top bunching as much with the tie as it is with the belt. But I've never had my picture taken with this top on either.

06*19*09 Flowery Friday

Top: Apt 9 via Kohls
Skirt: K-mart
Sandals: Lord & Taylor via ebay
Necklace: vintage - great-grandma's

Love this skirt! I can't believe it came from K-mart. I just had to buy it after seeing Kimberly wear it. And it was a steal at only $12.50! Today I kept it simple with a black top to really make the skirt stand out. Next time I wear it, I will try to mix it up a bit. I bought these shoes for my bridal shower 4 years ago and don't wear them much. They have a skinny heel and I am not that coordinated, but I decided to give them a shot today. I have a back-up pair of wedges in my car just in case :) Have a wonderful weekend!

06*16*09 Rainy Day Blues

Light Green Tank: New York & Company
Cardi: Bergners ($2.99)
Pants: Kohls
Scarf worn as belt: church sale
Shoes: Poetic Licence via dsw.com
Necklace: gift

It's another rainy day. Ick. I based this outfit around the colors in my scarf. I have so many scarves that I never wear, so I'm challenging myself to put them to good use. And check out the shoes....I love these shoes!

06*11*2009

Top: Worthington via JcPenney

Pants: Mix It via JcPenney

Belt: old, probably Kohls

Wedges: Aerosoles via DSW

Necklace: made by me

I don't wear a lot of button down shirts (because I HATE to iron), but I'm trying to change that. Luckily, this shirt is wrinkle free, which I love. Normally I would wear a black belt with an outfit like this, but I found this white one in my closet that I've only worn a few times. The shirt looks better in person and I always seem to get compliments when I wear it. Today I was told the color looked good on me....and that it was too hot to be wearing long sleeves.

06*10*2009 My "new" scarf

Top: Gap
Scarf: Church Sale
Pants: Dockers via JcPenney
Shoes: Kohl's
Cardi: Old Navy

When I first learned about the new trend of wearing scarves in the summer, I was skeptical. But this scarf is perfect for that. It's lightweight and really freshens up a plain old outfit. AND I only paid 50 cents for it :)
