White and Stormy
20 Aug
Have you entered to win a shopping spree plus two fun tote bags yet? If not, do it now!
Top – Old Navy | Pants – The Limited | Shoes – SE Boutique via DSW | Necklace – NY & Co
Good – I managed to take outdoor outfit pics before it started raining
Bad – It started raining as soon as I got off the train. And guess who didn’t wear rain boots?
Good – I ducked into the post office to ship my latest Because I Shop Too Much sale and missed the biggest part of the downpour.
Bad – My shoes (and pant cuffs) still got soaked.
Good – I always have a spare pair of shoes in my office. And leopard goes with everything.
Also good? My guest post on Librarian for Life Style! Jen is super sweet so I’m thrilled to be kicking off her vacation week with a collage of Chicago looks.
Now I’m off to make the rest of my Monday have more checks in the good column!

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.




Love the leopard shoes!
And it always rains when I wear white. ALWAYS.
So….did you wear white today, too?
I have on a white sweater, I gave up on the white pants & skirts years ago. It’s just not worth it. And I come to work early so was here way before the storms hit.
Those leopard print shoes are MORE than just good, my friend! love. them.
Thanks! Leopard is totally a staple in my book.
Love that photo!
I think I’m going to try and take as many pics on my rooftop as possible. Although they probably won’t all have such cool storm clouds in them
Hi this is Dawn from Suitcase Vignettes, popped over from Jen’s blog. Congrats on guest posting. Your leopard heels are really gorg. I will be guest posting on the 31st. Drop in anytime, nice to meet you. dawn xo
Eww, I always hate getting my feet wet in sandels, it’s such a weird feeling. (But kudos to clever you, keeping a spare pair of shoes at the office! And yes, leopard does go with everything.^_^) I love this necklace, the style is a little funky, but the blue in it is stunning.
When you commute by train and walking you always keep a spare pair of shoes around. Currently there are four pairs under my desk and another three pairs in a drawer
