OOTD: Starring... Great Shoes

I wore a version of this outfit here, but I'm now wearing jeans instead of khaki pants and I've switched up the accessories as well as the shoes.

 The shoes!  Can we talk about the shoes?!  I am in love with them.  They are my favorite backless style and so comfortable.  To me, they are soooo pretty and in a favorite color of teal/marine blue/aqua.  They are adorned with darling sequins, gems, and pearls.  They were only $5.60 and look brand new.

Wearing this outfit made me feel nearly as wonderful as Ally at Shybiker feels in her maxi skirt.  :)

Strawberry Ice and Glacier Gray - Pantone Spring 2015 Colors

I'm loving the Pantone Spring 2015 color choices.  In this post I wore a softer shade of the tangerine and also toasted almond.
Here, I'm wearing my new scarf which is similar to the Strawberry Ice Pantone color.  It was a great match to an older sweater I had in the same color. The cardigan is Glacier Gray.  I was very happy with this combination.  Thank you, Pantone, for the inspiration! :)

New Snakeskin Print Blouse

I just loved this gray and cream snakeskin print blouse when I found it.  I have hardly ever worn thin dressy blouses before, but in the last couple of months I've bought 4 of them.  Other than this one, I also got 2 animal prints ones and a minty green with white polka dot one.
I wore my cream silk jacket over it on my way to work on this slightly cool morning.

Winter White With Pearls

I love the large fold over collar on this sweater.  I think the collar, softness, and color makes this this a little more special than your average every day cardigan.
I accessorized with just elegant pearl and gold drop earrings, gold watch, and gold bracelet.

 The white sweater worn underneath is new and a good staple piece for my wardrobe.  I have many other like it in different colors.
I do have another sweater and turtleneck in a caramel color that more closely match the shade of the pants that I could wear as an alternate color to the white for another option under the cardigan.
I have not even tried wearing this cardigan with jeans yet.  It's very exciting because, in general, outfit possibilities seem endless and I'm always getting new ideas from other bloggers. It makes dressing so much fun!  :)

 I'm wearing my favorite lipstick of the moment...Wet n Wild 514A.
