LBD + Blazer

Happy Friday ladies! 

During my busy day of packing, cleaning, & laundry yesterday, I managed to put together a comfy yet casual outfit for work.  

I am a large fan of my LBD (little black dress).  I found it at Goodwill for $7 bucks and it is from Ann Taylor.  I have worn it underneath a blouse & I wore it for one of my best friends, Mary - Hannah's bachelorette party.  Thrift shopping can be a great success or a waste of time.  Usually when I thrift shop, I like to have an open mind and plenty of time to waste.  It is crazy at what you can find at thrift stores.       

I thought about wearing my bright blue necklace with this outfit but I chose my orange necklace because I liked the bohemian vibe of my outfit.    

My Outfit:

Blazer: Loft, last season

Necklace: Forever 21

Dress: Ann Taylor, found at Goodwill

Shoes: Payless Shoes

How do you spice up your LBD?

Coral Pants

When spring classes were still in session, I wore this outfit to class!  With work and blogging other outfits, I guess this outfit slipped my mind to post! 

I love colored pants, just ask any of my friends!  If I have the choice, I would wear them every day.  I found these broken-in straight pants from Gap.  They fit like a glove and they can easily be dressed up or down.  

You will find that I pair these pants with many different types of tops.  But for this particular day, I wanted to wear a casual white blouse with a pop of blue in my necklace!  This way it keeps the outfit very casual for my mile-long walk on campus to class.

My outfit:

Broken in Straight Pants - Gap

Blouse - Loft

Necklace - Gifted from my momma

Shoes - Payless Shoes

What do you ladies think of colored pants?

Blazers in the Summertime

Happy Friday ladies!! 

For the past week, Tallahassee has been HOT.  The weather on Monday hit around 92 degrees and it has only cooled down a couple of degrees throughout the week.  So instead of dressing in a tee shirt to work (like I always do), I decided to dress up my black tank with an old blazer I found in my closet.   

The blazer is perfect for this weather since it is 100% Linen, however I had a problem with the wrinkles.  The iron and I had a pretty hard battle but I think I conquered all the wrinkles in the blazer. 

I paired this lightweight blazer with my favorite pair of cropped pants from Loft.  Cropped pants have never been a necessity of mine but ever since I tried the Curvy fit, I have fallen in love with them!     

 

I found this cute bird necklace from Target yesterday, when I went in for a new planner.. I came out with a new necklace & earrings plus the planner.  But anyways, that is a whole different story.  The earrings & necklace were in a pack together for only $4.99, so if you are in love with this, I would definitely go pick it up!  It's definitely a steal.  

My Outfit:

Blazer: Loft, 1 year ago

Tank: Target

Cropped Pants: Loft

Shoes: Payless Shoes

Necklace: Target 

What is the latest steal that you have found?  Let me know, so I can check it out!  I hope everyone has a lovely Friday!

Daily Outfit Post: Work Attire

Since I work at Loft, I am required to dress up and look the part of a Loft employee.  This is not a problem for me since I enjoy dressing up so much! On the days I work I will try to capture my attires to show everyone how to dress cute & professional but still be comfortable.  I am usually on my feet for 7 - 8 hours a day when I work, so I tend to wear flats.

Outfit: 

My black dress is from Loft and is currently on sale in stores & online.  It comes in a blue color.

My cardigan is from Old Navy, I have had this cardigan for the past couple of years and I always keep it every year because it makes my eyes even bluer!

My necklace is from Forever 21 and was only $8.00! It was definitely a steal.  I couldn't find the exact necklace of mine online but it is quite similar! 

My shoes are from Payless Shoes.  This has been my best investment in the past couple of months.  They were only $16 and are perfect for ladies who work in retail! They even come in black!
