Weekly OOTD. Pintrest Inspired

A few of this weeks outfits were inspired by Pintrest.   The lovely ladies of Instagram have a Pin and Spin challenge going on for the month of September.  This is one of my favorite challenges.  I love seeing others outfits and then putting my own spin on it.

Here are the outfits I put together this week..



    

I didn't own a red skirt so instead I wore a red dress which I got a few years ago from Target and threw on a yellow cardigan that I got from Marshalls.  The necklace is from Charming Charlie and the shoes from Shoe Carnival.  This whole outfit was something I have had in my closet for years but never thought to combine the colors together.




This was a fun outfit to put together and to be quite honest it was a bit out of my comfort zone.  I don't normally tuck my shirts in because I always feel I look weird.  But I took a chance and this outfit came together perfect.  It's hard to see in the photo but my skirt is Navy and White stripped.   Instead of wearing a pink top I wore a Navy top to match the skirt and paired it with a pink necklace.    The skirt and shoes are both from Target.  The cardigan is from Nordstrom. The tank is from Kohl's and the necklace is from Charming Charlie.




I love this look.  Another color combo I would never think to put together.  The pop of pink just completed this look.  The dress I got from Kohl's. The cardigan is a recent purchase from Target.  I picked this cardi up for 50% off and then got an additional 15% off that.   The necklace is also a recent purchase from Charming Charlie.  I love the chunkiness of this necklace.  The polka dot flats I bought a few years ago from Ross.




This one was not a Pintrest inspired outfit.  Although it's after Labor that doesn't mean I have to put away my white pants.  Right?  I paired it with a chambray shirt and a neutral color scarf.  I wanted to give it a pop of color so I put on this hot pink belt.  I thought it gave the outfit some character.    The pants and belt are from Target.  The booties and shirt are from Old Navy and the scarf is from Charming Charlie. 




On Friday's we get to wear jeans to work.  This was the first time I wore denim on denim.  I wasn't too sure about it at first but it seem to come together pretty nicely.    To break up the denim I wore this adorable tee that I got from Kohl's and paired it with a navy striped scarf.  The jeans are Rockstar Old Navy jeans. The Jacket I from Mejier and the scarf from Charming Charlie.



So there you go, my  round-up of my outfits for the week.  If anyone wants to join the pinitandspinit challenge check out my instagram and you can play along.

Wednesday Fall Wish List



Does anyone agree that this summer went by with a blink of an eye?  I love summer and I am very sad to see it go.  However I do love fall almost as much as summer.  





Sweater weather is one of my favorite things about fall.   I love being able to put on a light sweater and a scarf.   This sweater from Old navy is perfect.   It comes in multiple colors but I really love this white one.   I could pair it with some dark jeans and flats for a comfy cute look or add some heels to dress it up a bit.

Check out the color options here.  Old Navy








Another fall favorite of mine are boots!  You can never have too many boots.  Tall boots, short boots, boots with heels, flat boots.  I had a pair of brown boots that I just wore all the time.  They were very similar to the style shown here.  I had them for years and they were my go to boots, but last year I had to say good bye to them.   The material started cracking and they just didn’t look nice anymore.  I haven’t found a pair to replace them until now.  These riding boots from DSW are just what I’m looking for.  They come just below the knee and they are extremely comfortable.  I can’t wait to wear these with some skinny jeans and a sweater.   You can get these beauties here.  DSW







These Army pants from Old Navy are just too cute!  I already have an idea of what I would do with these.  I could go casual with a pair of flats and a tee, or dress them up with a tee, a statement necklace and ankle booties.


Here is the link to these adorable pants.  Old Navy






As I mentioned in a previous post you can never have too many scarves.  Charming Charlie has been killing it with scarves this year.  Right now they are on sale for 4.99 and it is buy one get one. This scarf is so pretty with all the neutral colors in it.    

Check out Charming Charlie's website besides this beautiful scarf there are many more to choose from.  Charming Charlie









Besides fall clothing my other favorite fall items are candles.  I love bath and body work candles.  Every year I must buy at least one pumpkin scent and one apple scent.  These two are new this year.    They smell lovely.  I'm just waiting for the 2 for 22.00 sale and these will be coming home with me!  There are tons of fall scents out there that smell fabulous.  I can't wait to stock up on them.  Bathandbodyworks




These are just a few of my fall wish list items.  Check back next week because I'm pretty sure I will be picking up one or two of these items this weekend.  I would love for you to see how I styled it!

One Tee Worn Five Ways

I must admit I wasn't one who wore tee shirts too often.  I always felt like when I wore them that I wasn't dressy enough.  Up until maybe a month or so ago I didn't own too many tees.  I decided to try them out and see what I could do with them to make them more fashionable.  I started with a plain white tee and worked my way up to the graphic tee.   There are so many adorable graphic tees out there right now I had to give them a try.  I decided to take one of my favorite ones and play around with different outfit ideas.   This is what I came up with.


Outfit 1: Super Casual



When running errands I want to be comfortable yet stylish.  I took this tee and paired it with my Rockstar distressed jeans from Old Navy.  I added this multi strand necklace and glitter cons to dress it up just a bit.

Top: Old Navy
Jeans: Old Navy
Necklace: Accessory Fair
Shoes Cons




Outfit 2: Business Casual



For this look I took my tee added this adorable polka dot skirt to make it a business casual outfit.  To dress it up even more I added black heels and a pearl necklace.  Very simple but work appropriate outfit.

Top: Old Navy
Skirt: Kohls
Necklace: Walmart
Shoes: Shoe Carnival


Outfit 3: Color Pants












I added red pants to give this outfit a little pop.  Really you can wear any color.  I paired it with some leopard heels, a statement necklace and this multicolor clutch. 


Top: Old Navy
Pants: Marshalls
Necklace: Charming Charlie
Clutch: Charming Charlie
Shoes: Old Navy



Outfit 4:  Add a Cardigan

  


                                                           

This outfit is perfect for a nice fall day.  I love cardigans and this one goes great with this outfit.   Sticking with the leopard themed I added a leopard scarf and flats.  Cute and comfy!

Shirt: Old Navy
Scarf: Walmart
Cardigan: Target
Flats: Target



Outfit 5: Add a Blazer

                                                            
            


This outfit is perfect for date night.  I love the white blazer with this tee.   Just add a pair a pumps and a sparkly necklace and bam!  You are ready to go.   Very Classy.


Shirt: Old Navy
Blazer: Kohls
Jeans: Old Navy
Necklace: Charming Charlie
Heels: Payless


With all these great styles I will definitely be buying more tee shirts.  The possibilities are endless.   This graphic tee is just one of many I have purchased from Old Navy.  Check out their website and see all the great options they have.
