Royal Blue and Snakeprint

I might be obsessed with blue tops and light bottoms. Or more specifically these bottoms. And this color blue. I wish I would have returned this sweater though and gotten a size smaller. It is the same sweater as I wore in this post. Actually, it is the same outfit, but with a different colored sweater. lol. Part of me likes the slouchy sweater look, and the other part of me likes the tighter sweater. All of my likes this royal blue color. 

I hope you do too.

The man was rushing me out the door when I was taking these pictures...so there are only two quick shots. Sorry.

Leopard, black, and purple

I'm not going to lie, wearing scrubs to work everyday makes me cry a little bit every morning when I get dressed. Okay, maybe that is a lie. I don't cry *every* morning. Come to think of it, almost every job that I've ever held had either some sort of dress code (as is uniform) or required scrubs or jeans (because you don't dress up when you work on a farm). 

The only time that I got to play dress up for work was when I was a P.A. for a loan officer while I was looking for an actual job. Darn.

Well, at least I will be interacting more with patients soon, so wearing scrubs won't be so bad. (Let's face it, I don't want to bring blood and what not home on my nice pretty clothes.)

I have a feeling that life will stay busy, giving me reason to dress in fun clothes....as long as I have time to go home and change first. 

This is one of my many house hunting outfits. I probably haven't called the others"house hunting" clothes, but that's not really important. 

I was going to originally going to wear the leopard shirt with black pants, but I wanted to try to stick to the "rule-of-three". Since I do not own any bright cardigans, I decided to keep the cardigan black and the pants brights. Yup.

I decided to go sans necklace and bracelets with this outfit. The shirt actually ties at the top, and I felt like a necklace made it too busy. I was also in a fuss-free mood and didn't feel like dealing with a lot of accessories. Yeah,  life is just so rough. 

Faux Fur and Stripes

I don't know about where you live, but the weather around here has been absolutely crazy! One day it's beautiful and sunny (and you think that it is spring), and the next day you are wondering if the rain is going to turn into snow because it is so cold outside. 

This outfit came from one of the warmer days. This sweater is pretty sheer, so it's actually best to wear it when the air is a little on the warm side. I have been wanting to wear this vest for some time now, but everything I go to wear it, it's raining outside, and I don't want it to get wet. This vest is one of the softest things that I have ever felt. I find myself constantly stroking the thing. 

The man and I had a lot going on this weekend, so I felt like this outfit was perfect for the amount of errands and socialization that we had planned. I'm not going to lie, this outfit was very comfortable.

And this is my take on wearing stripes right now. I really like how this sweater has different "layers" of stripes, if you will.

White & Black & Red all over

When I originally bought this cardigan, I only wore it buttoned up, over a brightly colored cami. (Usually canary yellow). For some reason, I just never thought about un-buttoning the sweater to turn it into a cardigan. I almost got rid of the sweater until one day I thought to myself, why not try wearing this opened up over something? That little move opened the (closet) door to so many new outfits, and I am so happy that I did not get rid of the sweater. 

Some days, I just want to wear something comfortable, so you get this outfit.

Month of January. Outfit of Fall.

So I feel like this outfit would have been a bit more appropriate during the fall months, but I didn't own these orange pants then. I'll admit that I completely forget about this sweater until the other day. I currently have most of my sweaters in an unorganized pile on a shelf in my closet. After I wear a sweater and wash it, I just kind of throw it back up in the pile and hope that the pile doesn't come tumbling down. At the start of fall, I had this nice, neat pile of sweaters and you could see all of the sweaters. 

I really need to just rearrange the shelf so that the pile isn't so high. Or clean out a dresser drawer so that I can put my sweaters in there. (I don't hang my sweaters, as that takes the shape out if them).

So please enjoy my fall outfit that I wore in January.

Big Ol' Sweater

Some days, I try my best to NOT wear a jacket...no matter how cold it is outside. No, I'm not trying to make myself sick, I just get tired of my outfits getting covered up by my jacket. (Usually I'm chilly and don't want to take my jacket off.)

Insert this sweater/cardigan thing. It is so thick and warm, that you absolutely do NOT want to wear a jacket with it. Its perfect for those days that I'm either running around outside a lot, or I know that I'll be in a place where it stays chilly.

Enjoy

Finally, A New Year's Outfit

So I figured that it has been a few days since I posted about how I wore this sweater, so I could post about it again.  I had been planning on wearing some fancy dress for NYE, but then the man and I decided that we really did not want to go out to celebrate, so we decided to ring in the New Year with family and friend's. The man's brother was hosting another NYE party at his condo, so we were able to have some low-key fun. 

The invitation said "Dress to Impress, but it doesn't take make to impress me". haha. I decided that I wanted to be comfortable since I knew that we would be sitting around the living room playing games, and stuffing ourselves silly with tasty food. 

I will definitely wear this outfit again, probably on a dinner date or something.

*I was going to wear a necklace, but I just wasn't feeling them once I tried on 3 different necklaces that evening. 

Anyone look at what the color for 2013 is going to be? It's Emerald! Now I am very excited about this as Emerald and jewel tones are right up my alley when it comes to coloring.
