The Great White (Blouse)

Pinned Image

One of the undeniable staples of a woman’s wardrobe is the white oxford. It’s a classic must-have and can be worn in an infinite amount of ways. I realized yesterday that I have 6…oops I don’t feel guilty.

What I Wore: All Tied Up

(what i wore: blouse – polo, bowtie – claire’s, earrings – forever21, leather skirt – unknown vintage from potter’s house, tights – dkny, platforms – nine west)
I found this gem of a leather skirt for (wait for it) $5 the other day. I decided to snazz it up with ruffles and bows. My husband told me I looked like a card dealer at a casino. He might be right…

What I Wore: Basics

(what i wore: jeans – levi, blouse – beulah from shop ultra, flats – jeffrey campbell)
Casual Fridays cause a slump in my creativity. There is often something freeing (for me) in knowing you must look proper for the office. It sets me exploring different directions for outfits to take. Most Fridays, I try to be comfortable. It’s ok to take a day off, right?

What I Wore: Dress/Boots/Argyle


(what i wore: dress – vintage from the Samaritan shop, boots – Brekelles from ebay, socks – claire’s)
I’ve been super excited to wear these boots I bought on ebay a few weeks ago. They’re the perfect height and heel for longwear and protection from the winter elements. But…they are so wide on top, it’s ideal for leggings but not dresses. So, I thought paired with socks they looked a lot more fun. I’ve had a lot of trouble finding above-the-knee socks, do you know where to find?




Monochrome

Isn’t monochrome the tops? I find it easiest to do with black or white but I love it no matter the color – especially brights. It’s sleek, slimming and oh-so-on-trend.

What I Wore: The Best Sweater



(what i wore: sweater – vintage from potter’s house, shift – banana republic, croc booties – gianni bini, earrings – forever21, rings – forever21 and vintage)

This vintage sweater, complete with sparkles and shoulder pads was $1.50 at a slightly scary little thrift store called Potter’s house. I’m obsessed with it. It’s a delightful color and goes with plenty, plus I get a strange and heady high from this good a bargain.


What I Wore: Redux

(what i wore: trousers – new york & co, blouse – vintage from potter’s house, belt – vintage from the grey dog, ring – vintage, earrings – kate spade, heels – vince camuto)

I wore this in mid August and decided to repeat it last week. Even though it’s cream, I think it transcends seasons.

What I Wore: Game Day


what i wore above: blazer – vintage from cheap thrills, button down – new york & co, chinos – banana republic, oxfords – forever21, lipstick – covergirl outlast longwear in everreddy
I always have a lot of fun dressing for gameday (especially if our team wins). Rather than wear a team t-shirt and jeans, I like to take the color (red) and run with it!

 what i wore below: pants – old navy, checkered button down – cheap thrills, wedges – forever21, jewelry – vintage

What I Wore: Sophisticate

(what i wore; jacket – forever21, blouse – bcbg, skirt – apostrophe, heels – qupid, watch – bcbg, bangle – kate spade, pinky ring & rhinestone earrings – vintage from mae’s, long ring – ebay, beads – dillards)
One of my favorites  is the piled on look. Sometimes more is just better.
