work it wednesday!

Since I bought my "calf-friendly" boots {if you have no idea what I am talking about, see this post}, I have been dreaming of ways to wear them. Too bad the temperature hopped back into the 80's for the beginning of this week. When the weather allows here are three ways I plan on rockin' my new kicks:

{top, jeans, shoes, jewelry, poncho, bag}

{poncho, t shirt, legging, legging, boots, handbag, earrings}

{top, jacket, skirt, stocking, boots, bag}

{top, jacket, skirt, stocking, boots, bag}

I pretty much have something that looks like everything above except for that pink poncho and the black cable knit poncho. I feel like they are in my future, though.

Just an FYI...Lands End Canvas is now having 50% off sale as well as the Classifieds {if you don't know what the Classified are, read more about it here}. Again, as I have mentioned before, they have awesome stuff and their sales are really good. I just bought 3 turtlenecks for $5.00 each. Love me some LE Canvas.

Happy Wednesday! My blog posts have been rather wordy lately...so I wanted to do one with few words and lots of photos. Without further delay - work it wednesday featuring flannel (who doesn't love flannel when the temps drop?):

{flannel shirt, skinny jeans, shoes, bag, necklace}

{shirt, skirt, tight, knee socks, boots, bangle, scarf}

{shirt, shorts, cable knit tight, boots, handbag, hat, scarf}

What are you working today?

work it wednesday!

Happy Wednesday, friends!! And Happy Fall! Fall just seemed to sneak up on me this year, especially since the weather has warmed up yet again here in North Carolina.

Okay, so I just got this dark blue dress from Kohls and I adore it. I am already scheming several ways to work it into my wardrobe. Here are three looks I plan on trying out soon:

1. Wedding Wear

I got this dress specifically to wear to a wedding. I picture it with nude pumps and a nude clutch and some simple jewelry.

{dress, pumps, handbag, necklace, earrings}

2. Wear to Work

I think this dress would be too short without tights, so I think tights are a must for wearing this number to work. I think it would look great with a black blazer, black opaque tights (or textured if you are daring), black pumps, simple earrings and a fun colored work bag (I couldn't decide if I liked the pink or the orange bag best...so I added them both) :)

{dress, blazer, opaque stocking, pumps, hand bag, hand bag, jewelry}

3. Bummin' around town

This dress might seem fancy for bummin' around town...but sometimes you need a little wardrobe pizzazz - even if you are just going to the post office. I also think this would work great for meeting friends for brunch. Pair it with a comfy cardigan, flats or oxfords, a fun knit hat, messenger bag, and fun jewelry for running errands in style.

{dress, long cardigan, oxford, messenger bag, bangle, knit hat}

For some reason Blogger keeps changing my font sizes even though I edit them to be the correct size. What up with that, Blogger? Anyone else have these issues before?

work it wednesday!

Since I just got a pair of red Toms I thought it would be cool to see how I could work them three ways.


1. Game Day

The team I have adopted to root for down here is NC State. I have a lot of friends who went here so it seemed natural to adopt them as my home away from home team (this is the team I root for normally). People in the south dress differently than people in the north and there is this big focus on what to wear on game day. Normally one would wear a shirt with the logo or name of the team but down here there is more of an emphasis on looking cute and wearing a lot of the color of the team you are rooting for. Who am I not to take a perfectly good opportunity to look cute?
NC State's main color is red, so for game day I would load up on the red accessories (and of course my new red Toms).

{long shirt, shorts,Toms shoes, handbag,necklace, stud earrings}


2. Movie Night

I have been dying to wear my Toms with a dress. I think a floral dress would fit the bill nicely.

{dress, cardigan, TOMS shoes, handbag, jewelry}

3. Errands Around Town/Saturday Coffee Date with Friends

Red Toms would add a nice pop of color to an otherwise basic outfit. Oh, and check out that acorn necklace!

{Sweatshirt, skinny jeans,TOMS shoes, saddle bag, jewelry, Cami}

What are you working today?

work it wednesday!

I decided to join in on the fun for work it wednesday! These three outfits are all breaking the white after Labor Day "rule" with white skinny jeans.

Look #1: Date Night

{blue tank top, jeans, shoes, necklace}

I have this navy top and it looks great with pretty much everything. It also has pockets {bonus!}. That necklace will soon be mine. I love the colors - another piece of jewelry that will add pizzazz. 

Look #2: Casual Saturday

{tank top, cardigan, jeans, shoes, shoulder bag, necklace}

I love these red Toms so much. I am thinking about adding them to my vast collection of shoes (I consider myself a shoe collector).  

Look #3: Casual Friday

{button down shirt, blazer, jeans, pumps, handbag, necklace}

I am loving this look for a casual Friday at the office. White trouser jeans could be substituted if skinny jeans for the office isn't your thing.

Happy Wednesday and don't forget to check out more at good life for less!!

Jill over at good life for less started this this thing called "work it wednesday" where she takes an article of clothing and styles it 3 different ways. It is great because it gets the wardrobe juices flowing and helps me to be more creative in the way I put outfits together. Other bloggers also join in on the fun. Check out her latest work it wednesday post. I am loving the colored flats idea...a great way to add a pop of color to any outfit.

I have also included a button link for work it wednesday on my sidebar so you never have to miss a work it wednesday post!
