Un-Suitable

Outfit Deatils: Chambray shirt-J.crew, Vest-Madewell, Skirt-J.crew, Booties-J.crew.

This outfit I wore to work. Now.. I have alittle bit of flexibility in what I get to wear to work which is great for someone who, like me, likes the idea of a suit and that's about it. That's not to say I will not wear one it just has to be interesting. This outfit includes my go to pieces that complete a seamless look: collared shirt, skirt, third piece (i.e.blazer, vest) and wedges. Now some women say to me that they do not look good in neither one of these pieces.. and I say "Yah right! There has to be at least one that flatters you". To find that piece you just have to shop around and find a brand that fits you well which will require trying on clothes!! I know this may sound like I am pushing you..ok just alittle.

Favorite Blouse

Sweater-J.Crew:Blouse-Jones New York,thrifted: Jeans-Madewell's skinny cropped:Shoes-Naya

This blouse has become one of my favorite blouses. I found it at a local Goodwill store and immediately was drawn to the pattern. I felt the material and in my mind I hoped that is was not polyester and instead hoped for silk. Not because I hate polyester but because finding silk at such a low price makes a thrift shopper believe that she has hit the "JACKPOT" and that is exactly how I felt that early summer day this year. I have recently become a major thrift shopper and I have had a blast!! My thrift shopping extravaganzas have resulted in some great wardrobe additions that I will share soon. But, back to the top my favorite detail I love speak about is that it is actually a size 18.. hence the blousy look. Oh! I almost forgot it's on backwards to. Never under estimate a piece of clothing's potential.
