Today's post is a fun one--an outfit of the day!
Last week I blogged a review of Candace Cameron Bure's new book, Balancing It All. In it she discusses the value of having "girl time" as a woman. After that review, I designed a "how to look like you have it together" outfit along with a movie review of Moms' Night Out, coming Mother's Day weekend 2014. So if it all wasn't flowing together so perfectly already, I then went out for my own Mom's Night Out with some girlfriends so we could talk parenting, marriage, and just life. So here's the outfit that I wore that night:
I also wore this outfit for a video I'm making for my YouTube channel, hence the library background.
This outfit is feminine yet edgy, pairing soft and hard prints and fabrics.
- The floral blouse is from Von Maur and gives the outfit a soft look. And I needed a print to remind me that Spring is coming!
- I paired the blouse with a faux leather jacket from JC Penney...this is obviously the "harder" part of the outfit and makes the outfit less predictable.
- Skinny jeans from American Eagle (I can still fit into American Eagle!) are just a staple in my wardrobe.
- Watermelon-colored flats from DSW (the box literally said watermelon) add some of the color from the blouse and were a little more fitting for the slippery parking lots I'd be walking in.
- Delicate jewelry--black jeweled hoop earrings and some monogram necklaces from Linx & More--keep it sweet
So what do you think?
Last week I blogged that blouses, blazers, and heels make a great outfit, and I just tweaked that a little for this outfit.
What are your staple fashion items?
Tomorrow I'll be back with Diamond's outfit from the book Panic. Hope to see you then!
