Style / May 21, 2014

Floaty fabrics can turn seemingly dull colours into fun ones!  Especially if there’s a cute pattern thrown in the mix 🙂 Keep reading to see more photos of this outfit and shopping ideas inspired by this look!

In this outfit I’m wearing:

  • Beige batwing chiffon buttonup (TJMaxx)
  • Turkish Coin Necklace (F21)
  • Leather Harness Belt (BCBG)
  • Polka Dotted Pleated Skirt (F21)
  • Fringe Ankleboots (Mossimo)
  • Dual tone oversized watch (Michael Kors)

I’m pretty proud of this outfit as it didn’t cost a ton all put together.  Even more excited that I found all of these pieces all at different times and loved that they paired so well. This top caught my eye because of the soft flow-y material and the oversized bat-wing sleeves that stop at a cute 3/4 length.  Being so plain, it goes well with a lot of things 🙂

It was a double win when I noticed that the polka dots on this skirt are the same material and shade of beige as my shirt! They were meant to be together 😉 (It got a little windy haha)

As always I find a way to sneak in my harness belt into outfits.  I feel like I need to get a few more in different colours since I’m so fond of how this one pulls together most of my looks. My harness belt is definitely ‘me’ hehe.

I’ve worn this look a few times already and I absolutely love it.  It’s fun, flirty, cute, and can be worn anywhere whether its going to work, running errands, going on a date, hanging out with the girls etc.

And of course a pair of ankle boots had to be thrown into the look.  These were a great find.  A year and a half ago, I was looking for some comfortable ankle boots to wear to work every day that would spice up my outfits but at the same time weren’t too loud.  I found these during the fall, but their height works well with a lot of spring outfits and the fringe carries it well into warmer weather looks.

A lot of times we have these moments where we feel like we have nothing to wear.  Trust me, I have them all the time.  But sometimes, all you have to do is stare at your closet for a few and find ways to mix and match things that maybe you’ve owned for a while and haven’t worn in quite some time.  Find ways to make old pieces new and when shopping, find new pieces that will work with ones you already own.  Its a great way to stretch your closet without stretching your budget 🙂

Below are some shopping ideas inspired by this outfit.  What are your long time loves in your closet?
