Gray and Burgundy

Hey everybody! I'm definitely 'matchy matchy' today, however the vest totally gave this gray dress a new life. I'm searching for a replacement for the dress--it's seen better days.

Fall Trends: Menswear

 

I really liked the way that this outfit came together! Originally, I wanted to wear my black pinstriped vest, however it did not come up far enough to really 'pop'. Then I was going to wear my black wedges, but switched them out for my tan loafers at the last minute. It's cute, menswear-esque, and slightly college prep all in one!

This skirt is 100% silk and is perfect for the hot summer heat in an unconditioned classroom full of sweaty, stinky 12 year olds, lol!

When will all this snow melt once and for all?!

I really like this green and blue combination. It seems as if I either pair this cardigan with purple, reds, or blues. What other color would you wear with it?

I'm so glad it's a holiday today. And the fact that I have the rest of the week off makes me giddy! All I need now is $1,000 to spend however I like--now that would be a real vacation!

I recently thrifted this purple cardigan and thought it would look fabulous with burgundy today. Apparently I need some new slacks for work as these (along with my black pair) are fitting loose. Suggestions? I'm thinking about buying the Gap Perfect Fit trousers.

I happen to love the colors purple, green, and orange, especially worn together.

Today was a lovely day spent with my loved ones and lots and lots of Legos!

This whole outfit is almost entirely from Old Navy, except for the sandals (and glasses)!

I've owned this skirt forever and have yet to wear it until today. It's bright and a wee bit tight. Should I keep it or chuck it?
