Touch of Boho

Hope you all have been having a great weekend!

Skirt:  Forenza by The Limited (Available here)
Top:  Forenza by The Limited (Available here)

I wore this look to go to lunch and run some errands yesterday with the family.  I wanted an outfit that was casual but cool enough to contend with the 90+ degree heat.

Sandals: Target (old)
Bracelets:  Jodi Arnold for The Limited, Claire's, Torrid

The bandage skirt and breezy flyaway top could have easily taken a more evening turn, but the feather sandals and fringe bag give the look a more casual bohemian vibe.

Purse:  The Limited (Available here)

I love how shoes and accessories can really change up an outfit.  Do you use accessories to give your outfits a different feel?

I apologize about the quality of today's photos...the sunlight was causing weird coloring and effects.  One of these days, I'm going to figure out the best time of day to take pics!  Any tips from my fellow bloggers?

Whimsy for Work

Hope you all had a great week and are enjoying your weekend!

I've spent the last two weeks in suits, so yesterday, when I had the opportunity to have a little more fun with my work look, I seized it.

Blazer:  Torrid (Available here)
Blouse:  Forenza by The Limited

"Evil eye" ring:  H&M
Bracelets:  Target, World Market

While I try to maintain a fairly conservative look for work, I do love adding a little whimsy sometimes through bold color choices, pattern mixing, and fun accessories like my "evil eye" ring and snake earring (close-ups here and here, respectively).

Pants:  The Limited
Purse:  Target (Available here)

Shoes:  Target

Bettie at the Movies

Happy Sunday, everyone!

T-shirt:  Torrid (Available here)
Skirt:  Forenza by The Limited (Available here)

Shoes:  Target
Ring:  The Limited (Available in turquoise here)

I'm working today, but yesterday, I took a break from work and enjoyed a movie night with the honey. 

We went to see World War Z, which was delightfully better than I was expecting (to be fair, I wasn't expecting much except for some Brad Pitt eye-candy).

I wanted a comfortable and casual look, but I also wanted to have some fun with my outfit.

I wore a Bettie Paige t-shirt with a bandage mini-skirt I recently purchased from The Limited.  I folded the waistband over for a slightly more mini mini.  I finished the look with a lightweight jacket for the always freezing theater.

Jacket:  Torrid (Available here)
Purse:  Vintage

This outfit made me feel sassy, which is always a marker of a great look in my book!

What would/do you wear for a movie date?
