Ok, guys, admittedly, I'm being lazy tonight and decided to post an outfit from a couple weeks ago b/c I don't feel like changing out of my pink & green Lilly Pulitzer PJ's I'm currently lounging in whilst typing. Anywho, this is an outfit I wore recently for a casual date with my SO to grab dinner from a cute little Mexican restaurant and go see The Bourne Ultimatum (great movie btw...I recommend):
I wanted to be comfortable, but most importantly, I wanted to be warm. Those movie theaters are freezing! Good thing I picked up this trapeze style cardigan from TJ Maxx recently - perfect for layering. A girl's got to have lots of options for layering, right?
Green Bubble Top: Banana Republic
Gray Trapeze Cardigan: TJ Maxx
Skinny Jeans: Guess
Black Patent Platform Slingbacks: Cole Haan
Vintage Pendant Necklace: D Celestine Limited
It's been faaaaar to long since I did one of my "three outfits/styles/ways" posts (click here for an older post). Luckily, I've been working on a couple. I had one almost complete, but then on a whim tonight, I decided to do a new set tonight.
Here are three outfits based off of one tank top. You guys know I love turquoise, so, when I saw this tank top on sale at Banana Republic, I had to have it. I haven't had much a chance to wear it yet, but tonight I decided to play around with some new looks:
Turquoise Tank Top: Banana Republic
1. Tank Top and Casual Seersucker Pants:
Since it's hard to see the pants, here's a detailed shot of the seersuckers:
To me, seersuckers are almost like jeans...you can wear other colors with them.
Seersucker Pants: J Crew
Brown Espadrilles: Banana Republic
2. Tank Top with a Vest:
It seems I always see vests with boring colors, so I wanted to try adding a pop of color to the look. Are vests out? Oh well...either way, I'm not done with them yet!
Skinny Jeans: Guess
Dressy Vest: J Crew
Black Pumps: Kenneth Cole
Black Clutch: Ann Taylor Loft
Necklace: Moi - D Celestine Limited
3. Tank Top with White Skirt and Patent Belt:
There's something to skirts with tucked in tops and waist-cinching belts - so chic!
White Skirt: Banana Republic
Patent Leather Belt: No Name?
Peep-Toe Linen Shoes: Banana Republic
Leather Purse: Banana Republic
I love playing with clothes!
I don't know what it was with my shoes yesterday, but do you ever wear shoes that make you feel like you're developing blisters right on the balls of your feet? I knew that I'd be wearing flats today, and luckily, this skirt looks fab with my J Crew flats:
I love wearing these flowy skirts to work - I feel like I'm wearing pajamas except these skirts are often work-appropriate! I love these skirts because they're so versatile. You can dress these skirts up with heels or dress them down with sandals. You can dress them up with a sleek black top or dress them down with a simple tank top. Either way, you should have one in your wardrobe. I especially like the ones Banana Republic does.
Green Printed Jersey Top: Banana Republic
White Cotton Skirt: Banana Republic
White Camisole: The Limited (they have the best camis!)
Brown Bow Flats: J Crew
Brown Leather Purse: Banana Republic
My camera is fixed! Yay!!!!! Ok, back to outfit posting...
I wore an outfit very similar to this to work yesterday, but was so ready to get out of it by the time I got home. I had to run to Best Buy (to get my camera) and then I took my SO out to one of those Hibachi restaurants, which we both love love love. I decided to keep the top and belt, but lose the skirt and swap it out for some skinny jeans:
By the way, not sure about your town, but there was no official "line area" by the Geek Squad counter at the Best Buy, so be sure you stand your ground and don't let people cut you off. I got cut off by someone b/c I was sitting down while waiting and they just waltzed up to the counter and plopped their broken computer down on the counter. I think BB/GS should get a ticket distributer like they have at some meat counters or bakeries, but that's just me.
Button-down top: Banana Republic
Belt: Nordstrom
Jeans: Guess
Shoes: Enzo Angioni
Quilted Purse: Chanel
