Gotta Love Argyle

I am pretty happy with how my outfit turned out today! I am not really digging the necklace but until I make some new accessory purchases I am stuck working with what I have!!
I ran to Target afterwork and of course had to check out the clearance racks! I scored a pair of black skinny cargos for $6 so I am happy about that. While I was trying them on I snapped a picture of my outfit!!




White Shirt- H&M
Argyle Vest- NY&Co

Random Post!

This will be a boring post with no pictures! I put my jammies on without taking a picture of today's outfit! That's okay though, I wasn't really feeling it anyways!
I didnt really do anything to exciting this weekend that caused me to dress up! I did make a trip to the Goodwill though, I haven't been there in probably 6 or 7 years and from what I remember it wasnt great. I took a chance and well I did really well. I got a Mossimo blazer, 2 Merona button downs, some other button down and 4 belts all for $20. I was a pretty good trip! If I wore a 5 1/2 shoe I could of scored tons of cute new shoes from Target all marked to $3 but of course that is not my size!

So, I picked out my outfits for this week last night and I have to say I am not too impressed with how I did! I came home tonight and put a new one together for tomorrow, I promise to take a picture of it before I take it off!
I am starting to find myself staring at all the clothes in my closet and having no clue what to do with them! I also wish I had more skirts, which is so funny because I have never been a skirt person but after reading fashion blog after fashion blog I realize I am really missing out! I have the one I wore last week and then just 2 more and I honestly don't like them that much! I do have a cute all black sleeveless dress I scored at H&M for $10 a couple of weeks ago, I need to find some way to wear that to work, I can't just wear it sleeveless in Feb!
Anyways, I am feeling like I need a professional stylist to come in my house and tell me how to make outfits out of what I have and what pieces I am missing that I need to add to my wardrobe. Sometimes I just feel like I have no clue what I am doing!!!

My Favorite of the Week!

The following outfit is definitely my favorite of the week! Oh how I wish I could wear jeans to work everyday! And.... I got my new boots this week and I wore them for the first time this week. I LOVE them! They are comfy and come all the way up to my knees and I just feel so stylish in them. I found a bracelet in the jewelry box that I dusted off and wore!!!!
So here it is my new favorite outfit so far!



Jeans- Arizona brand skinny jeans from JCP
Shirt- Old Navy
Scarf- Old Navy
Boots- Ebay
Bracelet- no clue!

I really need to work on my backgrounds!
I am going to spend some time this weekend picking out next week's outfits, I loved having 5 outfits all picked out and ready to go, it made the mornings much easier! Plus since I do it on the weekend I have more time to put things together, much better than doing it in 5 minutes in the morning rush!

I am going to wear the blazer from the last post, I hope I can wear it right! I have never been a blazer girl but I watch lots of What Not To Wear, I know they are a staple in every women's wardrobe!!!!

Need Blazer Advice

Okay so I know my blog is very new and I don't have alot of followers yet or probably not even that much traffic but I need some help! I have had this blazer for probably 6 years and yes, the tags are still on it! I got a great deal on it from Banana Republic and it came with matching pants. I wear the pants all the time with different tops but I have never quite figured out the best thing to wear underneath the blazer.
Here it is, its really cute but what on earth do I wear under it? The pants dont have belt loops so tucking in a shirt and wearing a skinny belt isn't an option with these pants.
I am thinking about wearing it last next week while its still cold since its a heavy winter jacket and wool pants. Please please help a beginner out!!!




Here is a close up of the material and the colors. Its got very thin lines of light purple throughout it.



Here it is with the pants

Are jean jackets even still in style?!?!

So today outfit was planned out but I ditches the belt since I just wore it yesterday and added the demin jacket. This picture isn't the best but you get the idea!

Pants-Gap, shirt-Forever 21, jacket-JCP, shoes-Sperry, necklace-no clue!

A belted cardigan and ruffles

I have to say dressing nicer and looking more put together has really boosted my confidence. I just feel so great at work.
I did the pictures a little different today, I took them in my bathroom at work, but its not full length.




Cardigan- Fashion Bug, new
Blouse- H&M, new only $3!
Belt- Forever 21, new
Pants- Limited, few years old

And here are my new brown flats, I just love them and they were only $14.99!

Accessorizing

One thing I have noticed since taking more time in planning outfits and especially with taking pictures of myself, I need to get better about accessorizing. Like the below outfit, its super cute, I added the necklace and the belt for a more polished look but look how bare my arms are! I definitely needed a cute bracelet or an oversized watch or something.
I think I need to take a little break on clothes shopping since I have slowly started figuring out how to put together the clothes in my closet and start purchasing some cute jewelry. I think I need to take a trip to Forever 21 or somewhere else that has cheap cute jewelry!
If anyone has any great accessories to recommend to me, please leave me a comment!
