Office Poncho

Lately, I've been finding myself very cold and uncomfortable in the office, and if any of you have tried working on a computer with your jacket and scarf on, you know that it's quite inconvenient. I've been thinking about taking a blanket with me to work, but carrying that on the bus would be odd.

When I was at Target this past weekend, all problems were solved as my eyes fell upon this poncho. Warm, neutral, yet in a fun pattern, and cut so my arms could move freely... and I thought the vacuum I bought was the best purchase of that trip...

Back To Basics

When it comes to wearing the very, very basic pieces in your closet, you have to make sure it fits. A tee and jeans can go from chic to frumpy if the fit is off. Below I am wearing a tee and jeans that I accessorized with a necklace, belt, and heels. This is something I would wear to the office on Friday, so it can easily transition to happy hour and beyond! It's so simple, but I think still very fashionable.

Accessorize

I don't have my ears pierced. When I was little, I did, but it was a traumatizing experience, so I didn't keep up with them. Now I regret it, but I still don't want to pierce them. So these bold clip on earrings from Target were a no brainer buy! I decided to pile on the accessories with this outfit, and just have fun with it. I really like how it turned out! Plus I promised I would wear this skirt with a huge sweater, so here it is!

Daytime Appropriate

Through a closet clean-out raid, I happened to toss all of my day dresses. While none were worthy of keeping, I did end up leaving myself with no breezy, hot-weather dress options. So, I decided to rethink something I wouldn't wear for day, and make it work. Layering a plain tee under this strapless floral dress happened to do the trick! A wide brimmed hat, and my favorite oxfords made this look totally perfect for a walk in the park.

Sunday Swing

Hey everyone! This is something I wore this past Sunday. The confusing weather put me in somewhat of an outfit rut, so I threw on a brand new skirt from Anthropologie, that my mom sent to me. I layered around it with basics, and headed out the door for the day. Despite its somewhat grungy, messy feel, I kind of like how it turned out. Next time though, I'll be wearing this skirt in a dressier fashion, because the print is too precious to not treat well.

Belt in Up

Remember how I said that a scarf can be your best accessory? Well besides throwing it on to add some fun to a look as a scarf, you can also have it be a stand in for a blouse. Sometimes, when I just can't figure out what blouse to pair with an otherwise completed outfit, I grab the scarf that I intended on putting on anyways, and belt it around my torso. Under a coat it works like a kimono style blouse, and with a plain t-shirt and sweater layered on, if you need to take off the coat, you're still covered up!

Rust and Ice

I don't know how this happened, but one day I'm walking around in light layers quite comfortably, and now it is FREEZING. Like chilled to the bone cold. I think I may have forgotten how to dress for the cold weather, or I just am not used to it, being spoiled by the amazing weather. Either way, as excited as I was for Fall, I'm being a total baby about it. Ask anyone who has been around me; it's a shame, really. Good thing I stumbled upon this amazing coat the other day. It's very warm and heavy and in the perfect Fall color. Would you believe it is from Target? Or that is was under $70? Yeah, amazing, I know.
