OOTD:Touches of Gold With A Soft Cream And White Striped Jacket

My purse is new and I'm crazy about it! The belt, loafers and purse all have the exact same gold coloring, but each was purchased at different times and just happened to randomly come together to help perfectly compose this creamy gold wonder. :)

A Scarf Adds Style

 This outfit was worn a week or two ago when the weather was still in the high 60's.  I continue to wear sandals on occasion when the weather is still that mild.  I know most people are rushing to wear their booties, but I'm always hesitant to let go of the sandals and of hiding my last toenail polish until spring.  I like to give my toes a rest from polish for a few months when they'll be hidden with closed toed shoes.

I did thrift a couple pair of new booties recently and I'll be showing them soon.

This scarf is one of my favorites and I thrifted it for under $3.  I love adding the element of a scarf to make an outfit look a bit more stylish.  This is a very simple outfit consisting of off white jeans and a plain tee with sandals, but by adding the pretty scarf and a necklace it transforms from plain to casual chic.  I could have exchanged the sandals for a low heel to further elevate the status of the look, but this day was a casual errands day for me so I'll save the dressier shoes for another time.

 I recently purchased a variety of bracelet sets from ebay for around $1.25 per set.  I wear this type of stretchy style a lot.

Hope you all are enjoying your fall weekend. :)

A Neutral Color Scheme

 A neutral, monochromatic outfit is one of my favorites.

 I thrifted this scarf several years ago and I feel it makes such a pretty addition to an outfit.

Lace Cardigan

I found this pretty off white lace cardigan at Ross for only $12.99 and couldn't resist.  I fell in love with it.

I love neutrals and so chose to wear the new cardigan with nude tones and dark brown jeans and sandals.  I added a crocheted scarf and mother of pearl earrings.

This is my new favorite outfit.

How a Cardigan Can Greatly Increase The Number of Outfits In Your Closet

Just as I was talking (here) about remixing and the potential to raise your outfit quotient with just a single scarf...the same thing can be said about a cardigan.  
I can't seem to get enough of this one.  It seems to go with so many things in my wardrobe.  I like wearing it in a more casual way with one of my favorite pairs of jeans and wedged ankle boots (as in this post), but I also liked it here dressing it up a bit more.

The light caramel hue goes well with things of color, but works equally well with neutrals such as black, browns, and grays.

This cardigan was a total steal at only $1.95!  I definitely hit the jackpot with this one.  It fits perfectly into my style vision and I've created numerous outfits by incorporating it....with more to come.  :)

Snakeskin Prints

I love my neutral hues in this outfit, the soft feel of the scarf, and the print of the purse and flats.

I also love these mother of pearl shell earrings I thrifted.  These will be a favorite pair.

New Circles

 My first time to wear the circle necklace, shoes, and scarf.
I didn't get a close up photo, but the necklace is a double tiered row of circles in an antique gold or bronze color originally from Chico's.   The shoes are very similar to another pair I own, but are a lighter brown.  Soooo comfy (and great price) I couldn't pass them up!  I had gotten 3 different olive colored print scarves and this is the 2nd one.  Still one left I have not yet worn.

OOTD: Boots + Denim

I was soooo disappointed.  I loved these ankle boots so much, but a few hours into wearing them for the first time my shins began to ache.  The top edge of the boot banged against my shin when I walked leaving a bruised feeling.  If I wore them with long pants and had on thick socks that came up above the top of the boot it might give enough cushion to resolve the issue.  I was looking forward to being able to wear them with the shorter pants like these though.  I may have to save that look for shorter outings...not an all day work boot I'm afraid....unless the long pant/sock cushion attempt works.
