Outfit of the week

Hello!

I've got 3 more outfits to show today. This week was all about earth tones. I really love tans and olive greens. I have been told that the olive colors compliment my light skin.

You may have seen an outfit like this before but I chose to add this pic because it shows the tops color better and the detail on the sleeve. This shirt is from Zulily. It is comfortable, fits well and the color is amazing. It has a slight sheen but not shiny. I almost always pair this top with the featured scarf because they compliment each other so well. I got the scarf from Shoptiques.com using a gift card I received from a Popsugar MustHave box. It was less than $3 and that was the shipping! I know I mention Popsugar a lot but it is worth it! These jeans from Zulily have become my favorite pair, fit extremely well, and I always feel good wearing them. The shoes are brown Clark's flats that I found at Ross. The earings are a jade stone with gold tone wire that I picked up from World Market. They are my second favorite pair of earrings. 

I've finally worked up the courage to wear the tribal print sweater that I picked up from Forever 21. When I first tried it on I felt it looked too boxy, with the help of the brown braided belt I found at Charming Charlie it gave me some shape. Also the wider leg on these heathered brown Gap pants balanced the volume up top. I had several people tell me they liked my sweater and I feel more confident about being able to pull it off. The shoes and earrings are the same from the first outfit.

No great work week is complete without a blazer! This one is a forest green color and I found it from Zulily. I also have it in black. It is a cropped, 3/4 sleeve style. Underneath I have a light knit gray and black short sleeve sweater from Ross. As usual these are the dark gray NYDJ pants that I love and turn to most often. The shoes are a patent black flat from Ross. The silver pennant necklace is from Baublebar.com gifted through one of my Popsugar boxes. It's not too bold but not so dainty that it can't be seen. It's an everyday piece and a welcome addition to my growing collection of accessories. The earrings are a light teal blue with silver wire from World Market.

Most of my clothes and accessories come from the same stores but when I find a store that carries unique quality pieces at reasonable prices I go back as frequent as possible. 

Hope this has given you some ideas on where to look for cool stuff. It's sometimes hard to find clothes etc. on a tight budget but that's the fun in bargain shopping!

Thanks for reading.

Til next time,

Outfit of the Week

Hey there!

Today I am going to spot light the first of continual weekly work outfit posts. I have 3 outfits to show today. 

I am kicking myself because I had made awesome homemade meatballs last night and as I was pulling them out of the oven I thought "this would have been an awesome post for the blog!" But alas I did not have any pictures of the ingredients or the process or the before or after and therefor had NOTHING to post. I'm sure it was beginner blogger mistake. I'll get with the program sooner or later. 

Please excuse my lack of hairstyle. I get up at 2am to be to work at 3 so I sometimes forgo the hair. Here are 3 of my favorite outfits this week:

This top is from Zulily, brand eci New York. It is very flattering, has a nice fitted shape and I LOVE the color, with the black stripe down the sleeve adds a nice edge. The pants are NYDJ also purchased on sale at Zulily (love this site BTW, you can find some pretty sweet deals) they have hidden panels and a high waist to keep my tummy pooch tucked away! This scarf is my absolute favorite. It is light weight but soft and feels very comfortable around my neck. It's an infinity style scarf and the pattern is awesome, the colors go lovely together with the top. I got a great deal on it using a Shoptiques gift card I received in a Popsugar Must Have box and bought the scarf for just over $2 which was what remained on the shipping after the gift card was applied! My earrings are from Forever 21 and I cannot get enough of them. This is my go to look on a weekly basis and I usually just trade out the pants for jeans with boots.

I get so many compliments on this shirt that I bought from Nordstrom Rack ( great store for bargain finds!) it's shear so I pair it with a plain grey tank top also from Nordstrom Rack the black skinny jeans are from Target and I wear them all the time, they are so comfortable and fit really well! The shoes are slip resistant maryjanes from Payless (SR required for work). I forgot to accessorize this morning! 

This outfit was fun to put together and wear. The dress and belt are from Charming Charlie. The leggings are Hue brand and I bought them from Amazon (BEST leggings ever, soft, comfortable, still hold everything in place HA! I wish I had 5 more pairs) the blazer is  LC Lauren Conrad boyfriend blazer from Kohls. No matter how I dress it up or down I always get compliments on it. The silver cable heart necklace is Rampage brand found on Zulily. The shoes again from Payless.

Don't mind my badge/ID lanyard I usually have to snap these shots while running around during the day.  

Hope you enjoyed these looks and I can't wait to show you what outfits I pull together next week!

Thanks for reading!
