Styled By Me: Good To Go

Dress #11
Belt #1
Shoes #11










This was one of those outfits that I just threw on and was out the door just like this *snap fingers*. A shirtdress is so easy to wear and handy on rushed mornings such as this one. Button up, add some neutral shoes and belt, and you're good to go!

Styled by Me: Quick-Change Artist

Top #64
Skirt #33
Belt #2
Shoes #14






This weekend I had to go to a wedding. The wedding was an evening wedding, and I had a long to-do list to accomplish before the wedding started. This caused me to get home just in time to throw on something super-fast and run out the door to grab a taxi to the church. I was seriously in and out the door in under two minutes and made it to the venue just in time to join the crowd. I acted all graceful and ladylike while knowing that just a few minutes ago I had ran around like a klutzy madwoman putting this look together. I'm not one to plan outfits but I think some occasions call for a little bit more organization. Sigh, will I ever learn?

Styled by Me: Old-School Secretary

Top #35
Vest #60
Skirt #39
Shoes #13
















I felt like a 1950's secretary in this outfit. Which to me, is a good thing. I love the 50's era silhouettes and the chic feel of their ever-so-ladylike attire. I probably needed some color in this outfit, but aside from that, I'm pretty happy with it.


Styled By Me: Field Trippin'

Top #16
Vest #49
Pants #38
Shoes #2










This is the outfit I wore for a quick business trip. It was a field visit I had to do which calls for a more casual outfit, but I still wanted to look put-together. The pulled-together thing was going well until I had to change into my hard hat and steel-toed boots... so much for that! :)

Styled by Me: Sophisticated Lady

Dress # 23
Belt #4
Shoes #13





I had a meeting with some very important clients yesterday, and to my dismay, I was pressed for time in the morning. I had to find a quick fuss-free outfit that still would look pulled together and sophisticated enough for the nature of the day's activities. Enter my new LBD. I pulled it on, wrapped the red belt around it for a pop of color, added the high-heeled mary jane pumps, tied my hair in a low bun, and I was good to go. I was able to make it to the meeting on time and it was quite a productive day altogether. Yay for super-fast ways to put together a sophisticated outfit :D

Citrus Punch

Suggested by Inez of Style Chic 360






Citrus Punch, is what this outfit reminded me of, with my graperuit-colored top, lime-green belt, and lemon-yellow shoes. This is another example of an outfit that seemed like it would clash when I envisioned it, but once I put it on, the items actually blended together quite nicely. This was a fun, colorful outfit to sport today. Thanks Inez!

Left Unmentioned

Just a couple of lovely items I didn't mention in the haul because I didn't actually buy them... they were more like hand-me-downs. Or in this case, they were hand-me-ups because one was from my younger sister (the skirt) and the other item (the dress) is from my good friend that's like a younger sister to me :)
