Graphic Flow

Pants:  Target (old)
Today's black and white look pairs silky pajama style pants with an asymmetrical trapeze tank.
Tank:  Target (old)
Clutch:  The Limited (Available here)

Neon pink heels add a pop of color and the polka dot clutch adds another fun graphic print to the look.
Shoes:  Target (Available here)
Ring:  Purchased at local jewelry show
I love this look!!  It's super comfortable and is such a relaxed way to look chic while going out.
Cuff:  The Limited
Slouchy pants and a trapeze tank definitely break the fashion rules for short curvy girls, but who cares?  Rules are meant to be broken, right?! ;-D

Today's look also provides a segue into this week's feature - black and white!  All looks this week will feature this major spring trend!

Hope you enjoy!!

Urban Safari

Happy Friday, everyone!!!

Today's post features an outfit that I wore to work yesterday.
Blazer:  The Limited (Available here)
Pants:  The Limited (Available in other colors here)
I paired red pants with a black wrap top, camel blazer, and leopard print heels.

I originally conceived of this outfit with just a simple black silky tee, but I decided that I wanted a slightly longer and more detailed top.  The pics with the plain top are from this past weekend (before my haircut).

Top:  Old Navy Petites
Shoes:  Target (Available here)
Purse:  Express (Similar here)
Necklace:  Forever 21 (Available here)
I love that this look has a slight safari feel with the camel jacket and leopard print.  The red makes the look perfect for navigating the urban jungle!  ;-)
Blouse:  The Limited (Similar here)
Tank:  Old Navy Petites (Similar here)
Hope you all have a wonderful day!!

Would you pair red with leopard print?

Spring To It

Today, I bring you a professional spring work look.
Skirt: The Limited (Similar here)
Blazer:  The Limited (Similar here)
I paired a green pencil skirt with a white top and jacket.  To add some visual interest, I added this floral scarf.

Top:  Torrid (old)
Scarf:  The Limited (No longer available on-line; see here)
Bracelets:  Express, Target
This outfit is quite conservative, more conservative than I usually go for.  I like it though because it feels so fresh and springy with the combination of green and white.  It's a great way to bring a little of the joy of spring into the office.
Shoes:  Target (Available in other colors here)
Purse:  The Limited (Similar here)
Hope you all have a great day!!

Stripes & Polka Dots

Today's work look takes a nautical inspiration.  I love playing with prints, and mixing stripes and polka dots is a fun and simple way to do it. 

Skirt:  The Limited
Tank:  Forever 21+ (Available here)
The striped A-line skirt (it has pockets!) complements the coral dotted tank.  The navy blazer and pumps pull the look together and make it perfect for work.
Blazer:  The Limited (Available here)
Shoes:  Target (Available in other colors here)
Necklace:  The Limited (Available here)
I love that the color blocking on this necklace also creates a striped effect, adding to the pattern mixing of this look.
Satchel:  The Limited (Similar here)
