Daily Outfit: Trendy and Loving It

Normally, I tend to shy away from trends.  I usually prefer classic styles, and trends come and go so quickly, that it seems pointless to spend too much time worrying about them.  However, sometimes a certain trend will really resonate with me.  When that happens, I will wear, even after it’s gone out of fashion.  Today’s outfit embraces two current trends: belted cardigans and layered chain necklaces.

I. loved. this. outfit. so. much.  I felt amazing all day.  The combination of wearing my new favorite belt, my beautiful new necklace, and my pencil skirt which always looks awesome, was the perfect storm.  Not to mention my beautiful new $2 Ann Taylor tank.

All this has made me realize something.  I MUST buy more pencil skirts.  In good fabrics with quality tailoring.  I think I will be spending my Christmas money next month at J. Crew.

Daily Outfit: Professional

Yes, uber original title, I know.  I wore this outfit when there was a big principal’s meeting at the school I work at.  It was hosted in the media center, so I wanted a polished, professional appearance.

I think this black and white blouse is quickly becoming one of my favorite thrifting finds.  The material is so soft, the print so modern and versatile.  It’s definitely becoming a staple piece for me.

Whenever I need to look really professional, I always reach for my pearl necklace.  To me, no other jewelry looks quite as polished and sophisticated.
