Silk with Sweatpants and Gladiator Heels

This was my wild card look, and I kind of wish I has skipped it. With everything else being SO classic, I felt like I wanted one look to be representative of  Now. But I think I went a little overboard... This was cute in person, but the grey of the pants against the grey of the rocks and the grey skies just didn't look right. I also changed in the back of the car, so my shirt tuck came out a little awkward.

These shoes are knockoffs of the Extreme Dior Gladiator Platforms Carrie Bradshaw wore in the fist Sex and the City movie! Steve bought these for me when we first started dating, so I thought it would be a cute touch to include them.

Get Blazed: Blazer with Sweatpants and Adidas Slides

Here's a slight tweak on the sweatpants look I wore to work for a more casual vibe. I wore this shoe shopping - the slides are perfect for frequent changes.

Also: further evidence that a black blazer can pull together ANYTHING. Here are a few awesome ones in a wide variety of prices.

White Wrap Blouse with Baseball Hem Skirt

Uhoh, mixing it up with white now - look out! This blouse is about 6 years old and from the juniors department at Nordstrom. I've rarely wear it because it's a massive pain to iron, but I love the shape too much to get rid of it. I think the bow is supposed to go in the front, but I like how it takes on an obi vibe when I wrap it an extra time to the back.

I bought this skirt with the intention of styling it with my Adidas slides, but decided it was too weird for work.

Violet Hour

Oh the disorgaization of it all! These last few (and probably the next few) posts have been wildly out of order, but such is life.

This extremely purple number was from the last day of Spirit Week. Friday was Wear Your School Sports Team Shirt Or The Spirit Week Shirt Day, of which I had neither, so I just decided to go overboard with our school color: purple. I've worn this tank/cardigan combo out before, but certainly not with all the extra purple accessories. The silk top is scandalously low cut, so I decided to throw a little pop of Other Color in with the modesty cami.
