Outfits Not Just Clothes

Closeup of Textures! coat-H&M(similar here ), sweater- Le Tote , shirt- Banana Republic Factory Store , pants-Uniqlo(similar here ), socks-Target(similarish here ), loafers- Etienne Aigner (similar here ) You may recall my fox socks in this post back in November. Here they are again welcoming Spring! It's kind of surprising how many colors and patterns are seasonally appropriate for both latish fall and early spring. The temps are similar, at least here in Pittsburgh, hence layers are de rigueur for both season. And while some may consider plaid a fall/winter pattern, for this outfitter there's a plaid for every season, and a fresh green and navy plaid fits just about any time of year.

This sleeveless, knit dress from Madewell was just the thing! The texture and color are very fall-appro, but the silhouette made the 70-degree days bearable. This lightweight jacket provided coverage in the morning, while the sleeves paired up with the dress surprisingly well. I went for earth-tone accessories, again as a nod to fall. Plus, pockets! 

Notice how the cuffs are opposite patterns, LOVE IT! blazer-J.Crew Factory(similar here ), cords-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Ines de la Fressange for Uniqlo(similar here ), necklace-Duro Olowu for JCP , ring/bracelet- Jewel Mint , watch -Nixon via Urban Outfitters, heels- Etienne Aigner via DSW(similar here ) Yes, I'm sporting my Gap cords once again, last seen here . This go round I skewed more toward a workday outfit with the blazer and classy-lady heels. Up next, I'm thinking of going super casual with a tee shirt and sneakers.  Also, am still loving this shirt from Uniqlo and the great color combo of navy and orangey red. Thank you, that is all.
