Day to Night

Today I’m making a Day to Night series. This 'errands running' outfit is easy to transform into a 'night out' outfit. The burgundy color (now it's fashionable to call it 'marsala') is so trendy right now, so I just made a simple, fun outfit playing with this color. With flats this is one of my most comfy outfits.

Inspiration Monday: Printed Top

This time for Inspiration Monday I'm going with Britt Robertson. Actually, we don't have much in common with our outfits... I could say that she has a printed top and I have a printed top, but our tops have completely different prints considering fit and shape.

Cargo vest

The options to pair the cargo vest are endless. It's such a versatile item, you can rock it with a dress, skirt, pants, or shorts. You can put it over a t-shirt or button down, even layer it with wool or a leather jacket.
This is my new favorite outfit; the cargo vest with a striped, light blue button down shirt. I just love this color combination.

Casual Wear: Striped Top & Denim Skirt

Inspiration Monday: Printed Pants

This time for Inspiration Monday Emma Stone was chosen . I had plans to wear this outfit on an upcoming trip to Hawaii.

 

Two ways of layering a shirt dress

You probably would agreed that a shirt dress can be the most comfy dress in any wardrobe. Besides the comfort, a shirt dress can be a very versatile item. You can always cinch your waist with a different type of belt or even a fabric tie...or update a basic shirt dress with on-trend accessories and it will look different.
Personally, I prefer a loose fit, so when I get tired of the simplicity of the dress I can get creative with layering.
These are just a couple of ideas to help you get a bit more wear out of your shirt dress. This time I layered my shirt dress with a plaid button down shirt (I borrowed this idea from Alice of "Happiness at Mid Life").

Inspiration Monday: Leather Pants

This time for Inspiration Monday Two Birds choose Charlize Theron in leather pants and an oversized button down shirt. So this is my version of her outfit. Don't you think that sometimes the leather pants can be a good alternative to everyday denim?

Easter time

For a few days we went to Virginia for Easter and our grandson Liam's christening. We don't see him very often so mostly we spend time with the baby and for me their wasn't time for the outfits photos...plus I forgot my camera. So just to post, here are some iPhone photos.
