Honorable Mentions 2

Last summer, I featured a few looks in one post and called them "honorable mentions."  These were outfits that didn't make the cut for whatever reason as their own post.  Today, I'm bringing four more honorable mentions - all looks worn to work over this past fall and winter.

For work, I tend to stick to certain formulas (skinny pants or jeans+blouse+blazer) that satisfy my personal aesthetic and the demands of the workplace.  I rarely wear the same exact outfit more than once, but I often tweak outfits that I love, creating only minor variations.  Since a lot of these looks are similar, I don't feature all of them on the blog.  That said, I thought I'd give a few of them an honorable mention...

A work version of this previous outfit:
Pants:  The Limited
Booties:  Target (Available here)
Cami, Blazer, and Scarf:  LOFT

I love red pants with black and white prints.  This fun tote adds a new touch.

Bright red lipstick really doesn't work for me, but my love of a red lip makes me "forget" that sometimes!

Pants and Blazer:  The Limited
Tote:  Isabel and Ruben Toledo for Lane Bryant (Available here)
Top:  Ann Taylor Petites
Heels:  Target (Available here)
Casual Friday options:

A python clutch, burgundy heels, and gold accents add interest to a simple look.

Jeans, Blouse, Blazer, and Necklace:  The Limited
Clutch:  Ann Taylor
Ring:  LOFT
Heels:  Target
Grey jeans are polished for work with a flowy aqua blouse and navy blazer.  Silver and turquoise accents help tie the look together.
Jeans and Blazer:  The Limited
Blouse and Heels:  Target

Cuff:  Gift

  1. Those are great honorable mentions but I think my favorite is the red pants with the black and white, I just love combination of the black and white with red. Oh and I think you look great in red lipstick!

  2. Thanks Nina! Sans the red lipstick, that is my favorite outfit out of the group too.

  3. I'll go outfit-by-outfit here.

    1.) The deep plum blazer looks very nice and is my favorite element of this outfit. You styled this one well in my view. Of course, yet another pretty close-up of you here.

    2.) I think this is a fun outfit. While the red pants offer personality, it's the handbag that really makes the outfit fun.

    3.) Casual meets chic, and I think those jeans are wonderful.

    4.) I think the aqua blue top looks wonderful.

    Great style by you though these outfits didn't "make the cut."
