Same Print, Different Scale

So, the other day I ordered a floral blouse from Nordstrom Rack.  Soon after, I was in Sephora, which out here is housed in a JC Penney, and I spotted what looked like the same floral print.

And it was the same print, just on a different scale and in skirt form.  So, of course, I immediately purchased said skirt and promptly wore both pieces together:

See?  Same print, different scale:

Also, studded boots.



Because I figure that if you happen to find two items in the same print but a different scale, you're practically obligated to wear them together:

Blouse: Wayf via Nordstrom Rack  Skirt: JC Penney
Turtleneck: Gap Tights: SPANX  Boots: Ash (similar save, splurge)

Right?  Right.

Now, unfortunately, I can't find either the top or the skirt online, but I've picked some coordinating pieces below that I think would be pretty great together.


Happy Monday, All!

Olive Valentine

I tried my darndest to wear red on Valentine's Day, but it just didn't work out.  So I wore olive instead:

Dress: Banana Republic (similar)  Tights: SPANX
Booties: Ash "Joyce"

And polka dots:

Oh, and studs:

Ash "Joyce" Booties (on sale now!)

So, yeah, not the most Valentine's-like outfit ever.


But, it's okay, because my fiance made up for my short-comings.  He wore pink:

Is he just the cutest?!


Happy Tuesday, All!

The Faux Cowl Point

You see this mustard cowl?

It's not a cowl at all.  It's a faux cowl I created by draping this sweater vest around my neck:

Thrifted vintage wool sweater vest

Why?  Because I wanted a brightly colored, warm scarf to brighten up my otherwise neutral outfit.  Specifically, I wanted mustard, but, for some reason, I don't own a mustard scarf (I know, I'm surprised too). 

So, I did what anybody would do in my situation; I used my mustard vest as a scarf:

Jacket: Nordstrom (similar) Dress/Tunic: Target  Leggings: Target  Boots: Gap (similar)

And I'm glad I did.  I think the mustard brightens up this whole look and is the perfect focal point.  Or faux cowl point, if you will.  Yes, it's terrible and no, I can't stop.

Happy Thursday, All!
