Navy Plaid and Polka Dots

I wore this exact clothing combo with different accessories on my birthday. The pants and silk blouse are both Joe Fresh, and of course I have my trusty old green cashmere. This is a great way to ease into mixed prints: cover most of the second print with a solid, so only a tiny bit sticks out. 

Silk Polka Dot Blouse with Camo Blazer and New Purse

This is that $50 Nordstrom purse (now marked down to $24!!!) I posted on Facebook a few weeks ago! It is every bit as fantastic as I'd hoped. This is also the coat from Friday's post with the hood attached. Also important: this silk blouse is Joe Fresh from JC Penney and is probably still on sale in store.

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.
