Wedged Between...

I can't decide how I feel about today's outfit.  I like each piece individually, but I'm not sure how well all of the pieces blend together as a cohesive look.
Skirt:  Torrid (old)
Blazer:  New York & Company (Similar here)

Maybe it's me, but the outfit seems a little disjointed?  The top and blazer say business, but the skirt and boots say casual.  The boots say fall, but the blouse and skirt in this particular outfit read a little more summer to me.
Tank:  Old Navy Petites (Similar here)
Blouse:  The Limited (Available here)
Boots:  Target (Similar here)
Clutch:  Target

Any one of these pieces could work in any season.  Any one of these pieces could go casual.  Somehow, together, the individual pieces seem a little mis-matched.  
Bracelets:  The Limited

What do you think?

Simply Navy

I love the simplicity of today's look.  There's nothing overly special about any of the particular pieces, but the long block of navy just feels so streamlined and sophisticated.
Pants:  The Limited (Available here)
Blazer:  The Limited (Available here)
Wrap top:  The Limited (Available here)
Purse:  The Limited
I do love my wrap-style tops, real or faux, and this one is super comfortable as the front is woven, but the back is modal knit.
Heels:  Target (Available here)
Necklace worn as a bracelet:  The Limited
I wore this outfit to work yesterday with the navy heels, but I also really like the neon yellow pumps.  The navy heels finish off the clean monochromatic look, but the yellow pumps add a fun and unexpected pop of color to this simple outfit.
Heels:  Target (Available in other colors here)
Tank:  Target
(Available in assorted colors here)
 Monochromatic looks were a popular trend on spring's runways (see here).  While these looks were usually shown in bright colors, navy is a more toned-down way to wear the trend for the office.
Earrings:  The Limited (Available here)
Would you wear a monochromatic look?  Which shoes do you prefer?
