Taking it for a TEST Spin...

The impulsive look.

I was going to place this look in my archives as a back-up in case I was too busy to take outfit pics.

I couldn't help but share!

Then on impulse I got the idea to throw the new addition to my wardrobe in the mix!

Well two...

I absolutely LOVED wearing these shoes today!

They are not only fetching to the eyes, but oh so comfortable...

I love it when I find items that are patterned after high dollar brands for significantly lower!

I'm seriously thinking about acquiring these in more colors.

I can see copping silver, gold, and BRIGHT yellow!

Gold Hoops: The Avenue (never can have too many hoops)

White Blazer: Sears.com

Long Sleeved Gray Tee: Forever 21

Orange Skinny Belt: Rue 21

Gold Watch: New York & Company

Medium Washed Skinnies: Old Navy "Sweetheart" Jeans

Warm-Toned Faux Toms: Rue 21

Peanut butter Carry-All: Marshalls

And for the record, I switched the blazer with my light denim jacket for a denim on denim look...

Painted-On Color...

I honestly didn't realize HOW painted on these jeans were until I looked at these pictures.

By then it was too late.

Oh, well.

I do try to stay away from wearing jeans this tight to work.

But I couldn't RESIST wearing my green denim with my Sperrys...

They look so good together...see...

In my defense I tried to wear a loose-fitting shirt to contrast with the tightness of the jeans.

Wasn't long enough though...

Oh well, I made it through the day with hopefully no side-eyed glances from Staff...Well, maybe not to my face!

Black & Silver Hoops: Charming Charlie's (on clearance)

Tri-Stranded Chain Necklace: Rue 21

Annnnnnnnnnd, I got a new addition to my closet today in the mail!

Which was a HUGE surprise because the email invoice said this...

Un HUH!

I had been scoping for one online for a minute, but I wasn't ABOUT to pay some of the outregeous prices for a White Blazer. Plueeze. When I saw it on Sears.com for a fraction of what other retailers wantd, I jumped on it so fast! I love online shopping! It's like Christmas!

And I ALREADY got plans for it too...

The Least OBVIOUS Color...

I took it upon myself to give a commenter to one of my posts, tips on adding color to her wardrobe.

One of the things I shared with her is one my rules for a multi-colored garment such as this...

Pick the LEAST Obvious Color,

And Accent.

 

When I first spied this dress, in all of its bold splendor, Peach is the color that caught my eye. [Navy could also be one that stands out, or Orange, or Tan for that Matter!]

But,

That might be because I LOVE Peach! Which is a cousin of Coral.

Today when I was getting dressed, I saw my discarded White Pumps...

Ding, Ding, Ding! We had a winner.

They were PERFECT to illustrate my point.

I love the way the white POPs out against my navy blazer.

And to add a funky twist, I incorporated my fringed bag to the look.

I love the way it's a cross between a satchel, with the long strap

Or a Boho Chic tote...

So versitile...

So Me.

For work I toned down the look with flats and my matching Peanut butter Carry-all.

Also a tote or shoulder bag... I carry it as a tote though.

Navy Blazer: Forever 21

Warm-Hued Dress:Target

White Pumps: Charlotte Russe

Fringe Bag: Rue 21

Tan Lace-Up Sandals: Mia Brand via Piperlime

Peanut Butter Carry-all: Marshall's

Oh Yeah!

My Sperry's Came Today!

They will make a Nice Addition to replace my Leopard Loafers!

I liked the ALL Leopard pair. But I wasn't about to pay $70 bucks!

I found these for much cheaper! Score!

If you're interested, They can be found on DSW.com!

Bright Britches...Take Two!

You know how you make a purchase and while you are making it, four or five different looks go through your head?

Then, you get home and in your spare time, you try on what you envisioned to see if it will actually work together...

Un huh...

...EXACTLY what I did today.

Except, I ended up putting this together in addition to what I originally had in mind.

I've wanted to wear these pants ever since I bought them over a month ago.

But, I was waiting for the right look.

So I was fortunate to find these teal accessories.  ...Because they were in the room together, it just felt right to put them with the pants and some stuff I already had to make this look happen...

I Love It! And will be sporting a variation of this look to work, no doubt...

Stay Tuned for another Look with these Bright Brtiches...

Jade& Gold-Toned Button Earrings & Matching Ring: Forever 21

Gold Watch: New York & Company

Light Denim Jacket: Old Navy

Teal Flats & Belt: Old Navy

On my nails: Piggy Polish's "I'll Get You My Pretty..."

After having an amazing breakfast at IHOP I did some browsing at Rue 21...

/Side Note/: Even though Rue 21 does have a website, rue.com, I'd suggest going to their store...

Ya'll don't sleep on Rue.

They had some amazing finds and the prices weren't bad either. 

Here are some items that caught my eye.

 

Since my friend and I FINALLY made it to Old Navy last night as they were closing, I wanted to try my hand at their white floral Dress and White Shirt-Dress.

Even though I only left with two adorable pair of button-earrings, I am considering going back to purchase one of the dresses.

Now I'm going to lounge and have a Red Box Day watching

"Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"

&

"Young Adult"

I love that the moves are just roughly a buck a day, so if they stink, you're only out a dollar & some change.
