Transitioning to Spring

I'm still wearing dark suits and familiar favorites to get me through the winter, but, even though it is going to be less than 10 degrees Fahrenheit here tonight, I have faith that spring will EVENTUALLY get here. 

While it can't happen soon enough, I'm doing some planning - trying to come up with some new transitional outfits that will get me through unpredictable spring weather in the Midwest. 

Skirt and top:  Target

Jacket:  The Limited

I've added my heavy faux leather quilted jacket and ankle boots to a spring/summer outfit from last year for a mix that will keep me warm enough while still sartorially celebrating nature's re-birth with bare legs and pops of sunny yellow.

Denim Week 2: Weekend Edge

Hi everyone!  Today marks the start of Denim Week 2!  If you missed my first Denim Week, you can check out the looks here, here, and here.

This denim look was a recent weekend outfit.  I wore it out for a casual dinner with the family. 

Jeans:  The Limited (Similar here)
Jacket:  The Limited (old)

I haven't featured a flats look as of late, and I decided it was time to give my poor abused feet some rest.  The studded flats add a little edge to the outfit, and I've always been of a fan of black and grey mixed with red.

Tote:  The Limited (old)
Flats:  Target (Similar here)

Blouse:  The Limited (old)

For the longest time, I didn't like grey jeans - I saw them as faded black jeans, and they reminded me of old outdated jeans from childhood.  Over the last year or so, they started to grow on me to the point that I decided to try a pair.  Guess what?  I love them!

Ring:  The Limited

Get Your Motor Runnin'

Hope you all had a great day!

Pants:  The Limited (Similar here)
Tank:  Target (Similar here)

Maybe I'm craving a road trip because today's work look is loosely inspired by the road.  I started with a faux leather jacket perfect for riding the road on a motorcycle (it's actually quite warm even if not a proper "leather").

Jacket: The Limited (Similar here)
Shoes:  Target (old)

Purse:  The Limited
Necklace:  Express

Then, very literally, I thought of the colors of the road and added a hematite grey necklace and traffic line yellow tank.

To make the look a little more work appropriate, I added high-waisted trousers and a basic work bag. 

Ring:  Local flea market

Snake bracelet:  Torrid (Available here)
Earrings:  The Limited

This outfit could easily transition from day to night by swapping out the tote for a more fun bag like this or this.

Last week, we had some chilly weather.  I wore this outfit to work to stay warm.

Purse:  The Limited (old)

I love this outfit!  It's my favorite color combo; the top has a great graphic print; and I can't get enough faux leather lately!
