Stripes Week: Working Black and White

Happy Thursday, everyone!

Stripes Week continues with this recent black and white work ensemble.

Jacket:  Torrid (Available here)
Blouse:  Old Navy Petites (old)

Pants:  The Limited (Similar here)
Shoes:  Target (Similar here)

I guess I should have called this week's theme "Black and White Stripes Week" as every outfit featured this week has included my favorite color combo!

Tote:  The Limited
Bracelet:  Torrid

Necklace:  The Limited

This is one of my favorite ways to wear black and white.  I wore my burgundy heels for a subtle pop of color.  I'm so ready for fall, so burgundy shoes are a great way to get a touch of fall while it's still warm.

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
