Casual in Cream

Was headed out to run errands. Wanted something simple, casual, but put-together.

Can't go wrong with a blazer for added warmth!

The Significance of Your Jeans

Are you aware that the dye of your denim plays an important role in the 'look' of your outfit? If so, good for you. If not, study these examples! Dark jeans will (typically, though it does depend somewhat on the cut/style of the jeans) dress up an outfit. Light denim (typically...) will dress down the look of the outfit. These outfits are the same, except the jeans! One would easily be suited to dinner, the other more for lunch.

 

(Since I was headed out to lunch, I did in fact wear the light bell bottom jeans.)

I have an illness. I'm not completely sure what it's called, but Fashion Fever might be it.  Even when I'm just going to sit around, eat and watch a movie, I feel the need to be wearing a decent outfit.

Sharing Secrets : UrbanOg

    Perhaps you think I'm just lucky to find all these great bargains. (And, honestly, in some ways I do just get lucky! But unless you use StumbleUpon, you'll have no idea what I'm talking about.)   I actually scour websites quite diligently to catch all these great deals! Today, I'll share with you one of those sites!

 

 

You may have noticed that many of my shoes and boots are from a site called UrbanOg. (They do also have a large selection of clothing.) I stumbled onto this site about 2 years ago. I noticed one very special link. It is now a bookmark on my internet browser that I visit every day. This may seem a bit obsessive, but there's a secret to it!

 

Every day, Urban Og puts a few items into their Deal of the Day section. These deals are insane sometimes! The next day, the items are back to regular price...which is why I visit everyday. Here are a few of my best scores....

Accessorizing

A few folks have mentioned their inability to accessorize to me. So, here's how I do it!

I started with the base outfit...very dark, but cute.

 



I added the yellow scarf for a pop of color. Cute, but not finished.

 



Hmm, maybe  a hat?

Ok, let's try blue instead of yellow...blue belt!

Oh! I have earrings that match!

Eh, not feeling the hat...

Oh! Add the yellow back in with the blue...? Yes!

Belt: $0 included with dress purchased at Goodwill

Change of Shoes....

Was having a few issues deciding on shoes with this outift.... I tried on the blue suede pumps but it was a bit too matchy matchy for me.

 

 

 

I next tried on the zebra pumps, which I liked much better!

 

But then I proceeded to bust my toe on the corner of the bed-frame and couldn't wear any cute pumps... had to wear the flat, slouchy boots!
