This weather can't make up it's mind so I can make up mine either. I wore this structured work blazer with this casual outfit. It was comfortable and professional so I feel like it was a win-win for everyone. I also got the chance to wear my bogo boots from Payless that I got at a steal $14. The open toe boot concepts seems to fit perfect with the outfit and sense they too has a bit of a split personality it worked out.

SL: Purple Haze

In a paisley purple haze today, enjoying this great weather. I have decided that I will still dress in layers because it is not warm enough to go without a coat but to warm to wear one all day.  So hear I am warm and toasty with my scarf, tights and blazer, just how I like it. I am happy to see that this great fall purple is being brought into spring this year by paring it with a pail shades of lavender. I cant wait to give that pairing a shot. How will you mix up purple this spring?

Calling Every Body Every Wear: Red + Pink

 

I know I am super late on this post but as I was taking this weeks challenge I realized that I never posted my pictures from the last Everybody Every Wear Challenge. The challenge was to wear pink and red together. Two years ago that would have been a fashion don't but times they are a changing and pink and red suddenly seem to go famously together.  You know you can tell when a trend has really caught on when you see men wearing it to. So don't be afraid to pull out your LRD (Little Red Dress) and add some pink!

                                                        

Trend Translation: Coat + Contrasting Belt

The Trend of the Day:

  Coat + Contrasting Belt 

 

If you are looking for a way to pop up an everyday suit, try adding a contrasting belt to your coat or blazer.  I just fell in love with the Burberry Prorsum 2012 Fall/ Winter contrasting belted coats and bow details, so of course I had to put my spin on it. I chose not to include the very cute yellow bow detail in this trend translation because I wore this indoors and needed for people to take me seriously in meetings however I was able to use my mustard H&M belt to get the same vibe. You too can get this look but taking any blazer or dress and throwing on a contrasting belt.  It is just the added pop you need to update an otherwise plain outfit. I can't wait to read your emails to hear and see how you are translating Burberry's line this year.

MOD: Grey + Cranberry

As winter goes off into the sunset, so will a few of my wool skirts. Like this one I picked up at the Salvation Army for $4.50. I will be sad to see them go. These warm colored pencil skirts put in some work this season. Which piece did you get the most use out of this winter?
