07*14*09 Lots of Ruffles

Ruffle Tank: Target

Gray Cardi: Kohls

Pink Skirt: NY&CO

Brown flats: Aerosoles via DSW

Brown belt: Kohls

I picked up this super comfy skirt at NY&CO's summer clearance sale, but I'm having the same problem with it as with my red pants from yesterday. What else do I wear with it besides neutrals? I've noticed that I really don't have a big variety of neutral tops and if I have the choice while shopping, I will almost always go for color over neutrals. Now that I've realized this, I'm trying to increase my neutral wardrobe options.

I am mixing brown & gray, something I would have NEVER done before I started reading all of the lovely fashion blogs. Now its slowly becoming one of my favorite combinations. I know my pose looks a little off balance, but I liked the way my skirt looked mid-swing.

07*13*09 Red & Ruffles

Gray top: Apt. 9 via Kohls
Red Khakis: Old Navy
Black wedges: Aerosoles via DSW
Necklaces: both gifts

I tried layering necklaces today, and I really like the look. They were a little tangled when I took my pics, so no close-ups. I also really love my red khakis - the fit is great and the color is awesome! I just have the problem of what to wear with them.

07*10*09 Grab 'n go outfit

Green tank top: Mossimo via Target
Yellow top: Kohls
Pinstripe Pants: JcPenney
Wedges: Mootsies Tootsies via Kohls
Green & yellow necklace: old, I think from Bergners

I didn't plan ahead this morning, so this is the first thing I saw. I love this top. Today I put a green tank underneath it - you can't tell from the pictures, but you can see just a hint of color thru the sheer fabric. I threw on my dark purple cardi to stay warm at work. Not bad for a grab and go outfit!

07*06*09 I need a new lightbulb!

Top: Apt. 9 via Kohls

Pants: Worthington via JcPenney

Peep toe heels: east5th via JcPenney

Necklace: Kohls

The light in my closet blew out last night, so I grabbed the easiest outfit I could find. I had planned to wear a belt with this, but I couldn't find a flashlight. Ah, Mondays....

06*25*09 Halfway to Christmas

T-shirt: Steve & Barry's
Vest: Shade
Khakis: Old Navy
Necklace: Kohl's
Shoes: Aerosoles via DSW

I just realized that Christmas is only 6 months away. Maybe thats why I wanted to wear my green pants today. Today's look was thrown together and based around this necklace that I had to buy but don't wear a lot. I felt waaaay too casual in just a t-shirt and khakis, so I threw the vest on to change the look a bit. This outfit is making me feel a bit hippie...oh well.

06*18*2009 Plain in Pink

Top: Worthington via JcPenney
Pants: Axcess via Kohls
Peep Toe Wedges: Aerosoles via DSW
Necklace: etsy

This is a shirt that I don't wear very often because it usually needs ironed. Last night I sprayed some wrinkle releaser on it and let it dry overnight and NO WRINKLES! I love that stuff :) The shirt feels a little baggy, but I was rushed this morning so I didn't try to belt it. I will probably wear a cardigan most of the day in my cold office, so that will give it some shape.

My belts are in a giant heap on our bedroom floor after the closet shelf came crashing down on me last week (yes, I think thats a sign that I have too much stuff!) I need a better way to organize my belts....any suggestions?? I was using one of those ring hangers, but it was so hard to get to a belt in the middle....and that was usually the one I wanted to wear :)

06*12*2009 Happy Friday!
