Going Back to Pinterest for Inspiration

Ever since I started working from home, I must confess I've been in a style rut. I've been wearing the same pair of jeans for days at a time, or if I have to go out, it's the black slacks and a sweater. One reason is because I'm home most of the time now. And another reason is I just finally switched out my summer clothes for my winter clothes. I feel like I've forgotten how to dress up. So, I found myself going back to Pinterest for inspiration. Here's a peek at my Pinterest Inspiration Board. Enjoy and Repin away!

Over the Knee Boots

I got interested in over the knee boots last year and embarked on an all winter search for the perfect ones. I got one in taupe which I'm wearing in this post.  I also wanted a black pair but never found the right one. Well, this year it seems the over the knee trend is here to stay with so many options out there. Here are a few of my picks. I should be getting my black pair soon. 

Are you a fan of over the knee boots?

Favorite Shoe store

I love shoes and I love getting most of my shoes from Nine West. I wear my pumps mostly on Sundays for church and since I'm on my feet for almost an hour on stage, comfort is key. Nine West shoes are comfortable and they offer great service: Free and fast shipping and a reward program that keeps me going back to get more shoes.  
Here are some of my picks for you in case you are looking for shoe shopping ideas. I own the silver version of the leopard pumps and the burgundy version of the grey pumps is what I have on in the picture below. (I knew this photo would come in handy one day. The rest of the shoot didn't come out right but I saved this picture just in case). You cannot go wrong with leopard and grey both of which are hard to find. The grey goes with anything and the leopard pumps adds a pop to any outfit.  I also love Nine West hand bags. The satchel is another favorite of mine and I have it in hot pink/radiant orchid as shown in this post from last month.   What's your favorite shoe store?

Summer Vacation: What to Pack, What to Wear

Anyone taking a vacation this summer? Here are three outfit ideas for different activities typical of a summer vacation trip. These are pieces and styles that I would wear.

Back to Basics:Essentials for your Summer Wardrobe

Many times we go shopping and forget to focus on basics in order to have a workable wardrobe. How many times do you look in your closet and tell yourself you have nothing to wear? I only started focusing on basics a few years ago. When you stock up on basics, you will always have something to wear and stretch your wardrobe for unlimited mixing and matching options. I can actually create several outfits with these basics. Next time I'm going on a non business related trip, I might refer back to this and pack similar items to create different outfits.

1. Slip on Sneakers: These slip on sneakers are popular this season. They are great to wear with shorts    and cuffed jeans and more importantly, they are comfortable. I see myself wearing this every weekend in place of my flats. 2. Open Front Cardigan - This is great for chilly days and nights, layered over a tee or tank to add dimension to your outfit or balance your shape. 3. Maxi Skirt - Maxi skirts are comfortable and a change up from wearing pants. Wear with a knotted tee shirt layered with a jean jacket, or chambray top 4. White tee - The white tee is very versatile and can be worn alone or layered under a jean jacket, cardigan, or vest. It will also work great with colored pants and will pair well with a printed scarf or statement necklace. 5. Bermuda Shorts - Shorts are great for the hotter days of summer and for play. I actually bought the pair shown in February because last summer, I looked high and low for bermuda shorts and couldn't find any.  6.  Comfortable Jeans - Everyone needs a pair or two of comfortable jeans. This pair looks comfortable yet stylish. 7.  Striped tee - Need I say more...everyone loves stripes. Wear with colored bottoms or tucked into a circle skirt. 8. Layering Tank - Wear alone or layered with anything   J Crew Factory, Gap and Old Navy are three stores where I shop for affordable basics. Are you lacking any basics? Do you focus on buying basics?

Greens and Greys

Green with grey is a color combination that I'm loving lately. I was sent this mint infinity color block scarf by 9th & Elm and I decided to wear it with this grey dress, an Avon favorite of mine. The green trench is making it's debut on the blog. I think I got it two years from Old Navy and never wore it much because, let's face it, it's a spring jacket and we don't get much of a spring around here. It's still sort of cold as we speak and next thing you know, it will be summer and there will be no need for jackets.  Anyway, if you're looking for a way to wear your grey piece next time, try pairing it with something green. 

Be sure to check out 9th & Elm.  They provide lovely hand made and independent designed clothing and accessories. I would also wear the color block infinity scarf with a maxi dress or white tee with jeans.
