R's Latest Outfit Inspiration

So, as I'm getting older and wiser, I've been trying to buy better quality clothes, which will eventually reduce the quantity of clothes in my closet.  I'm hoping with better structured pieces that fit me better and some great accessories, no one will know that my closet is shrinking :)  I'm also starting to take pictures on my iPhone of clothes I like in magazines to keep my clothes fresh and fun :)


Here are some of my latest creations:


Outfit 1:  Meeting in Vegas that needed to transition to dinner and drinks.

Blazer:  Michael Kors (via Bluefly.com)
Shell:  Gap circa 2011
Skirt:  Nanette Lepore (via Nordstroms)
Peep Toes:  Gucci (via Nordstroms - on sale! score!)

Outfit 2:  The weather is turning nicer and I'm exploring brighter colors.  Just a normal day of work outfit.

Pink Blazer:  H&M circa 2012
Printed Shell:  H&M circa 2012
Tan Pants:  Banana Republic Outlet circa 2010
Gold/Brown Shoes:  Baker's circa 2008 (purchased for my bachelorette party!)

Then, outfit #3, another normal day of work outfit

Blue Top:  H&M circa 2012
Skinny Pants:  Express circa 2006 (happy they fit!)
Locket:  Forever21 circa 2009 (happy I haven't lost it!)
Wedges:  kate spade

Will keep you posted on any new inspirations!

Stumbled Upon on a Sale Rack...

Except for the shoes, this entire outfit was less than $30 and all found at the Gap in Los Gatos!  I was super excited.  I like how it still looks professional but fun.  And I learned from Mrs. A that leggings do count as black pants :)

Outfit of the Day - May 6

Even tho my sister does not read this blog (I know, who doesn't read this amazing source of rambling?!), I want to give her a shout out and wish her a happy birthday!

Daily Outfit Post - May 5

Today was one of those days...you know, the one where you try on 6000 things and can't find ANYTHING to wear.  I swear I have NO clothes (regardless of how full my closet MAY seem - its all an illusion).

I love this maroon sweater (the picture is dark), except for the kangaroo pouch..i think it makes the tummy area look lumpy.  It just requires alot of fixing before I see people.  Oh well, its cozy especially since I'm exhausted from not being 100% for the last few days.

Outfit of the Day - April 7

Let me start off with: I'm having a pity party kind of day, and because you are reading this post, you have RSVP'd "yes" to my party and therefore have to hear me rant.

I feel whale-like...the scale at the gym continues to inflate my weight (let's be honest 3-4 pounds that's realistic, 10+ pounds - NO WAY!) and regardless of me rationalizing it does not work, it still makes me grumpy.

Anyway, this outfit makes me look wide, but oh well. You win some, you lose some.

Jacket: Ann Taylor Loft

Sheer Top: Forever21 (N got it for me!)

Cami under Sheer Top: Old Navy

Pants: Banana Republic (you now know that all my pants are from there)

Necklace: Forever21

Bangles: Gift

***********

OK, N here. I'm just adding onto R's post today for probably the only outfit of mine I will ever show. Do we see a pattern? :)

Sheer Top: Forever21

Cami under Sheer Top: Forever21

Pants: I have no idea - they're old

Bracelet: Gift from Mom
