Saturday Bonus Style Stalking Post: Dueling Leopard with See Jane

This is an instance where I didn't necessarily love the overall look, but one part inspired me. See Jane was advertising her Beau Bag during Fashion Week (back when EVERYONE was), but it was her leopard pumps with leopard pants that intrigued me. I never would've thought to put two different, but yet very similar, leopard prints in the same outfit, and here she was with them right up next to each other!

High Waist Trousers with Pin Dot Cami and Shoulder Bling

It was really hard to find similar items to link for this outfit because many of the pieces are really old. The pants are at least 6 years old from Zara, and the cami is at least 10 years old by Ralph Lauren. The cardigan is the most recent purchase - on sale from American Eagle a few months ago - but it's not on the website. Hopefully, you are being INSPIRED by my outfits and not coming here for specific shopping tips...

A Look Back: Fave Outfits of 2013

As 2013 comes to a close, many people take time to reflect on their accomplishments, disappointments, and set new goals for the year to come. I'm just reliving a bunch of my favorite outfits from this year (in no particular order)! Click on a picture for more details.

    

    

    

    

     

    

    

Upon further reflection, it looks like 2013 was a year for leather, camo, mixed prints, statement neckwear, and sweatpants. What new looks are you excited about for 2014?

Festive Plaid Pants and Sequin Star Tee

I had triple booked myself on this Sunday (a Sassy City Chicks event, Elle's epic annual Christmas Soiree, and the MIL's birthday dinner), so a comfortable, versatile, festive look was in order! Low heels and a tee shirt were comfortable, layers were versatile, and the plaid pants and sequins were festive. 

Actually, these Joe Fresh plaid pants have become much more versatile that I had thought. I've worn then several times with different looks, and I loved them so much I bought the navy ones too! 

I can't find the tee online, but it's from the girl's section at Target. Check in stores.

Van Halen Tee in the Boardroom

This is a prime example of a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. Each piece seems like it could be a little too casual for work (a concert tee, a leather skirt, a cotton cardigan, leopard pumps) but when put all together with a pile of pearls, it takes on a suit-vibe. In fact, this is one of the most professional looks I've had this year!

Fancy Sweatpants for Nordstrom Trend Show

Not very timely post, but a great outfit nonetheless! This is what I wore to the Nordstrom Trend Show for Fall. This was outrageously comfortable, and I still continue to get compliments on these Vince Camuto shoes every time I wear them.

Camo Blazer and Leopard Pumps

This is a Casual Friday Remix of the outfit I wore on the first day of school. I had originally imagined regular skinnies with this, but the slouchy boyfriend jeans seem a little more interesting. I topped it off with this camo blazer, and I'm very pleased with the way the boy/girl ratio turned out.

DO try this at home: Both camo and leopard are considered new neutrals, so mixing them together is a fool proof way of mixing prints!
