Blouse – Macy’s (similar) | Pants – LOFT (similar) | Belt – Target | Booties – Liz Claiborne via DSW (similar) | Necklace – Macy’s (similar)
This outfit looks very spring-y to my eye what with the colored pants and the white top. You’d never guess it was 20 degrees F outside. And windy. And my poor husband was taking these photos and freezing his fingers off. Ah, the sacrifices we make.
I suppose I could have made this colored pants look even more winter appropriate but after I saw the inspiration photo I knew I wanted to wear this blouse.

Sure, Lauren’s blouse doesn’t have any black on it, but I knew that my blouse would have enough billowiness to drape the way I wanted it to. To make this even more Chicago-winter appropriate I’d probably throw a black cardigan on over the top to help stay warm.
And aren’t her ankle boots adorable? Now I’m inspired to wear these blue pants with my own tan ankle boots in the future. See, multiple ideas from one outfit! Score!
Would you wear Lauren Conrad’s outfit? How would you interpret it with your own items?



For those of you looking for casual outfit inspiration, this one’s for you!
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.
