Outfit of the Day: Doing the Black and Brown Thing

Hello bloggy world, trying to get back into my posting groove, fingers crossed! 

Here is today's outfit of the day.
 Striped Knit Blazer - Forever21
Trousers- Anthropolgie "Cartonnier" brand 
Shirt - Ann Taylor
Necklace - Gift from Rachael (this post is for you dear)

I wish I had a stock picture of these pants, but I couldn't find what they were called online. They have an awesome plaid lining and a thick cummerbund style waist, with 4 buttons/tabs on the front. Best part? Mint condition thrift find for $7.99. 

Dear local person who keeps donating things in my size and style, please keep doing so, I am rather enjoying the things you pass up.

Outfit of the Day: Cue the Repeats

So onto my third week at my new job (yay!) which means it is about time to start repeating and mixing new outfits out of what I have. 

Blouse: JCrew outlet ruffle camisole
Cardigan: Jacob
Pants: Lauren by Ralph Lauren

I am really loving these Ralph Lauren pants. There is something about green plaid lined wool pants (that were $6) that really floats my boat, plus they are very comfortable. 

Close up of  my necklace. It was a congratulatory present from my aunt, which had belonged to my grandmother once upon a time.  Vintage jewellery has such history, that I can't help but feel happy wearing a piece.

Outfit of the Day: What a jean-ius idea.

In my head, that was a play-on-words with "genius". We were granted a jean friday today, so yay! Except my jeans were too long and I didn't remember to hem them. Which meant wearing heels all day. That part wasn't exactly genius to me, been a long time since I wore heels for 8 hours plus.

Jeans- Gap (gift from my friend Vivienne)
Shirt - Forever 21 (worn here)
Cardigan/Jacket: Anthropologie "Cascading Tulle"
Shoes: Anthropologie "Sweater-Cuffed Booties" by Schuler and Sons

From a previous outfit, but the same shoes.

Weekend time! Hurray! Anyone have any awesome plans?
