Yellow Dotted Navy

Blazer: Joyce Leslie--old (similar); Top: Swapped; Necklace: (DC) Eastern Market vendor

I'm a strong believer in being true to your personal style for work and for personal time, so I definitely felt like "myself" at work in this casual Friday outfit.  I don't believe in saving my bright colored pieces for weekend wear only. 

Jackets have a way of making even the most casual look work for professional settings. I could easily swap my jeans for a pencil skirt and pumps for a dressier work day. 

Enough about my outfit, here is to a positive and productive week!

Pink + Mint

Blazer: thrifted (similar); Top: Target (similar); Jeans: Gap; Earrings: H&M; Necklace: Borrowed

Buying bright colored blazers can be addictive.  I've been a collector of skirts in the past, now I'm on a blazer kick.  I now get easily distracted while window shopping in stores like H&M, Zara, and the Gap by the other brightly colored or printed blazers on the racks.  Maybe I'll budget for purchasing another one soon before it gets too hot to actually wear them.

Happy Wednesday!

Pink + Turbaned

Blazer: thrifted; V-neck T: American Apparel;  
head scarf: borrowed; Jeans: Gap; Heels: Shoe Mint

Happy first day of spring! On a recent weekend when I was lacking wardrobe inspiration, I took a page from my Mother's book and added a blazer, turban and a swipe of red lipstick to my regular weekend staples (jeans and a t-shirt).

Maybe a remix is in order to get inspired during this transisitional period until we start getting weather in Philly that feels more spring-like.

What tricks do you try when you're lacking wardrobe inspiration?

Spring Minded

Lace Blazer: Marshalls (similar); Pink Top: Marshalls; Jeans: Gap; Bracelet: Gift

I purchased this top before the holidays with a mind to wear it in the spring, but the top also works layered over a blazer while it's still cold. Sometimes wearing a pop of bright pink is called for on a winter day.  Let's pretend I didn't have to put on a coat, scarf and gloves after taking these pictures...
