Casual Friday: Work In Progress

TGIF all!

I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling my outfit today. Being casual is always a struggle for me because I’m so used to dressing up everyday. Does this sound silly? I’ve seen other women (such as my new blogger crush Curves and Curls) with amazing casual style but I just cant do it! Gimme a pencil skirt and some kitten heels and I’m good to go. Give me a pair of jeans and shirt and I’m at a loss. Go figure!

Nevertheless, I’m committed to improving my casual style. If any of you have any tips please feel free to share!

Have a great weekend!

Putting It All Together

Happy Hump Day!

Shopping my closet this week has been very interesting. While going through my closet, I had to acknowledge my cycle of shopping. I found when I would get frustrated while figuring out what to wear, I would just give up and buy a new outfit. Sounds crazy right? I would justify needing new clothes by saying “I don’t have anything to wear!” I’m ashamed to say there are clothes in my closet that I’ve only worn maybe twice and haven’t wore them again. This leopard print shirt and mustard yellow pencil skirt I’m wearing today is prime example of this. I can count on one hand how many times I’ve worn them, which is a shame. There are so many ways I can style these pieces and I plan on finally giving them their due!

What gems do you have in your closet that you aren’t wearing?

Have a wonderful day!

Casual Friday: Style Inspiration

TGIF everybody!

My outfit inspiration today comes from the lovely Shea of Curves and Confidence. I’ve been a fan of her sleek, polished style for a while now, so when I saw her outfit on Pinterest, I knew I had to put my spin on it. Shea’s ensemble was right up my alley because it combined two of my favorite things, hot pink and leopard print. The pop of bright color compliments her outfit and makes it stand out. I also liked that she wasnt afraid to wear a strong color to work. Often people shy away from wearing bright colors in the workplace but Shea shows if you wear it properly, you can definitely pull it off!

Check out Shea’s blog to see more of her fabulous looks!

Have a wonderful weekend!
