Brighten Up
25 Apr
Blazer – Forever 21
Top – Old Navy
Necklace – Gordman’s
Pants – Gap
Shoes – Nine West
Whew! Today has been a busy, busy day. It’s also been a gray rainy day so I’m glad I wore my bright pants to help take some of the gray out of it. I noticed on the train to work this morning that everyone was wearing black but me.
Just a few short months ago I was in a black-pants rut. I wore black pants almost every day. Now I still wear a lot of dark colors but I’m slowly branching out.
When’s the last time you wore something bright?
P.S. I suppose if I’m going to be taking close ups of my shoes this summer I should invest in a pedicure so I don’t subject you all to my nasty runner’s feet, huh?

A reader recently contacted me and asked for help with a pair of ankle boots she just bought.
Right now I’m pretty happy with my closet. But even so there are days when I stand there and stare at all the hangers and think, “I wish I had….”
I’ve had all of these clothing pieces in my closet for a long time. I keep wavering on whether or not to keep the cardigan and then it keeps staying. 
Pairing the fancy sequined skirt with a neutral colored cardigan and nude heels helps keep it from being too bling-y or overwhelming.
The fact that I paired two pieces that could be considered slightly casual but added heels and a blazer makes my outfit work appropriate without being traditional.
