Eyelet & Denim

For the last casual Friday at work, I paired an orange eyelet blouse with dark denim and a black blazer.

Blouse:  The Limited (Available here)

This is definitely a go-to casual Friday look for me (dark jeans/blazer).  It's relaxed but still feels very professional and put-together.

I love this shade of orange mixed with black.  It's such a great color pop.  A Deco-inspired necklace with paler orange stones added a touch of bling to the look. This blouse definitely makes me think of spring and summer, but it's still been too cold here to be too serious about spring fashion (despite my better wishes).  It does appear that spring is on the horizon though, and I for one can hardly wait!

I am looking forward to pairing this top with white bottoms and turquoise!

Hope you all have been having a great weekend!!!!

Black and White Delight

Hi everyone!   Holiday hustle and bustle and a hectic work schedule has kept me too busy for blogging the last several days, but I'm back today with this black and white combo.  It's also my 100th blog post!  Thanks for joining me on my new adventure!

Black and white is a perennial favorite.  It never really goes out of fashion as a color combination, but it's having a serious moment in fashion right now.  It was all over Fall 2012's fashion runways and is expected to be a huge trend for Spring 2013 as many designers featured the graphic color combination during their spring shows.
