Tuesday

 

Today's OOTD.  My goal today was warm, breathable with a touch of color.  I am really in love with pencil skirts.  This may become my new signature piece.  I grew up as such a tomboy.  You would only find me in a skirt on Sundays and only for church.  But I really enjoy the flirty side of skirts.  And the lines of skirts are more flattering to my eye these days.  On a recent visit to my cousin (who only wears skirts and dresses), I starting wondering what my life would look like if I were to only wear skirts.   I was crushing on running skirts long before this visit.  And I am continually looking for ways to incorporate more dresses and skirts into my life.  I really love a good sheath dress.  So this may explain my fascination with a pencil skirt.  The shape and structure of a sheath on the bottom with more versatility in the upper half.   Mystery solved!  Do you have any favorite silhouettes or articles of clothing that you can not live without?

Climate Controlled Office Space

This is what I had to bring to the office to deal with the changing temperatures in my office space. It's cold in the mornings and warmer in the afternoons.  So, I play a little game that I call "musical layers."  I switch back and forth between the two toppers on the right.  Please share your ways of staying warm but fashionable in the ever-changing office. 

OOTD

I really love the pattern and colors of this sweater.  I believe that one should have a few go-to looks on hand for days when you feel uninspired or are short on time.  :-)  I have a problem picking out my clothes the night prior to wear.  I can't do it.  I have a mental block.  Then I panic because the weather forecast may change for the following day and what will I do then?  But the worse is just not liking what I chose.  That excuse does not fly, I love clothes.  And I pretty much love all of my clothes.  I just may not like how certain clothes look on me on any given day.  But that can happen in the night as well as in the morning.  Lol!  But I continually strive to choose my outfits ahead of time to shorten my morning routine.  Maybe if I choose my outfits one week at a time, this may take away some of the anxiety.

So let me pose a question.  When do you choose your daily outfits?

Begonia and Spice

OOTD.  I adore the Begonia print.  It was definitely love at first sight.   Now we are great friends. I love this outfit because it is light, airy and comfortable during a long work day.  How do you stay cool, professional and comfortable during a long work day?

Inspired - Leopard Cardigan

This set is inspired by the link below which was inspired by another polyvore link.  I decided to add a variation to the theme as depicted on the left.  But I can't decided which version on the right I prefer.  I'll have to try both versions in the upcoming weeks and let you know.  Which topper do you prefer the leopard cardigan or the Tessa top in safari cat?
