Substitute

Vest: Victoria's Secret

Shirt: Target

Cargo pants: Ross

Sandals: Madden Girl via Marshalls

I'm loving the faux leather sleeved/olive jacket look that has been trendy the past two  years, but since I had an olive utility vest, I figured I could recreate the look with black sleeves. I had initially tried this outfit with a purple maxi skirt, but it looked too casual so I switched it out for the olive cargo pants and it has the same feel of the jacket I'd been coveting. Will it take the place of the jacket? Maybe. At least for now, unless I find it for super clearance and I have a credit or coupon that I have to use :)

Chevron Remix

Shirt: Rue 21, last year

Scarf: Target

Leggings: Forever 21

Boots: Ross

So I was feeling so over anything chevron and didn't think I'd be wearing this tunic again because it felt too trendy. I wasn't happy with the open mandarin collar, but by remixing this top with the red scarf, it looks so much better. Because it's long, it's perfect to wear with leggings and it's a good basic for the winter with different scarves. 

Just goes to show that you just can't give up on your clothes :)

My Heart On My Sleeve

Shirt: H&M. $7 old

Skirt: old

Shoes: Burlington Coat Factory, $8

My first H&M purchase

Shirt: H&M, old

Skirt: Ross

Shoes: Target

Love this printed shirt from H& M, it was probably the first thing I bought from them. 

Loving how the turquoise necklace makes the outfit more colorful. 

Striped necklace? I'm in!

Dress: Marshalls $8

Cardi: Target

Purse: Sway

Sandals: Steve Madden

Necklace: c/o Ace Commune

I had been admiring Ace Commune's jewelry and was so excited when they had told me to watch my mail. This pretty necklace was a fun surprise and I love how the black and white beads create stripes. Since I am addicted to stripes, I played that up in my outfit choice. I also brought in the blue and yellow through the rest of the look. This whole outfit was inspired by the necklace and I love how outfit inspiration can come from anywhere, 

even from the smallest of details. 

I may not have put this outfit together without it so I'm also happy to be remixing this look from my existing wardrobe. Be sure to check out the rest of Ace Commune's line: loving the simple, beachy and boho quality, especially all the tasseled pieces. 

You can also follow their Facebook feed. 

The winner of the arrowhead necklace is Tiffany! 

Please check your email and respond within 48 hours before I choose another winner.

The Collar

Jacket: Forever 21, old

Tank: Forever 21, old

Skirt: Ross, $17

Shoes; Sears $6

Took out this old jacket to document it, love the unique collar. When I bought it, it was probably around $14 and not even on sale. Such a good price!

Layered

Agate necklace: Ewelina Pas

I can't get enough of layered necklaces and I think these two look perfect together. I had seen a similar look on Pinterest, so when I found the light purple agate necklace I was so excited! The rough cut of the agate is so organic, natural and boho. I love the layers of colors along the top and now I want more Ewelina Pas agate necklaces. 

The stones she finds are so vibrant! 

The arrowhead necklace is a good versatile piece to layer with other necklaces in the future as well.  I was able to customize the length of each chain so I took some time trying to decide how I wanted to layer each necklace, and I think it turned out perfectly. 

Seeing it in the picture, I also love how the chains match. 

I had taken a close up picture of me too, but my camera has seen better days. More and more, the pictures are becoming more blurry. Partly due to the age of the camera and partly due to lack of patience of my camera-women. A new camera may be in order or maybe just a permanent tripod set up...we'll see...

Ewelina Pas is graciously offering an arrowhead necklace to one of you!

I'm so into mustard yellow these days so I couldn't pass up the chance to pick up this scarf.  I wearing it shorter this time around, but you can also untwist it to hang below your waist.  It's so soft, light and love the shade of yellow that pops against all my winter neutrals.

Purse: Stella & Dot How Does She Do It tote

I've forgotten all about my striped tote so worked an outfit around wanting to wear it. 

So versatile..I have it buttoned down on each side to look like a satchel, but you can also unbutton to look like a tote.

Thought I'd do two outfits with vests and stripes, a casual and more dressed up version to highlight my new Lyss Loo items.  Both outfits were comfortable, layered and warm, perfect outfits for fall days.

Stripes Anyone?

Jacket: Ross, old

Tank: Express

Skirt: Old Navy

Shoes: Burlington Coat Factory

I wish I had time to take pictures in the morning before I leave for the day because sometimes I find that after I look at the pictures, I find a way to make the outfit better. 

This outfit, for example, was more slimming with the jacket unbuttoned, but I had worn it closed the whole day at work. Another dress looked so much better when I added a belt, but again, I went to whole day before I realized this.  

I should have learned my lesson from when I went wedding dress shopping 11 years ago. Thank goodness I had taken of a picture of myself in what I thought was my wedding dress. After looking at pictures later, I realized that the drop waist was not flattering and I saved myself $400 by going with another dress. 

Oh how I love thee

Sweater: Rue 21, $2

Skirt: Victoria's Secret

Shoes: Burlington Coat Factory $8

Gold Sequin Clutch: $12.99 c/o Vintage Heart

 Love this outfit! Heart, pink, red, stripes and gold!  The sequin clutch adds an extra pop to it and it is going to be such a versatile addition to my wardrobe. Who doesn't need a little gold sparkle in their life?

Love the print on this dress. It's from Forever 21, but

 I picked it up from Susie's Deals for $2! 

I stopped by Susie's Deals the other day and a new store was there so I'm sad not to have another store for bargain shopping. The dress doesn't translate well in the picture, but you can see a close up of the print with my lion's head bracelet.

Love this Mix

Necklace: c/o ShopLately

I started this outfit with the necklace and I love how the lime colored stripes are unexpected. The necklace pops on this shirt and the sequins adds to the sparkle.
