OTI: Casual, Colorful Black
15 Jun
Dress – The Limited | Scarf - Nordstrom | Necklace – gift | Shoes – TJ Maxx
The challenge for Friday was to choose a photo we wanted to interpret. I have a TON of photos on my Pinterest board just waiting to be interpreted. So, finding a photo wasn’t hard. Choosing one, though, was difficult.
Until the scarf I ordered because Laura linked to it arrived and I knew I wanted to use it in my outfit. So, I went with the photo that inspired me to order the scarf in the first place.
I thought this was the perfect way to make my black dress more casual. It’s the same dress I wore a few weeks ago but different accessories change it up entirely.
Also, it’s windy on my roof.

Nothing is classier to me than tweed and a pencil skirt.
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.
Great choice! I love Laura’s cool, casual style. And wow, that black dress is versatile. It’s amazing how just a simple change of accessories can change an outfit.
Sometimes it just takes a little nudge to realize you can wear something old in an entirely new way!
Appreciate how much fun you had this week. And that you’re a Chicagoan, like I kind of am!
Are you from Chicago or are you living here now??
I love how you prettied up a simple black dress! That scarf is beautiful!!
It is lovely, isn’t it? Now I just have to come up with other fun ways to wear it!
I looooove this outfit! First off, wow on the scenery from your roof! Second, you did a great job of remixing that dress. I wouldn’t have even guessed that it was the same one!
My husband makes fun of me for wanting the Chicago skyline in every photo but, dang, how could you not want that as your backdrop?
