Boots & Pumps


A's Style Roll Call

Teach                                  Pray                                 Love   

After looking at the past two posts, I realized that I had NO color whatsoever in my outfits, so I decided to mix it up this week and go with not only color, but also stripes. Some would argue that strips (specifically horizontal) are a “No-Go” because “They’re not flattering,” but it’s not necessarily about the stripe. In fact, stripes can be quite slimming depending on the shape. Shape trumps stripe. Remember that. 

Teach: If you can’t tell by now, I love to wear a skirt and belt. I think it’s easy and comfortable, which are two of my favorite things. The shirt and shoes are from Kohls while the skirt is from JC Penney. I like to pair color on the bottom with a pattern on the top. By the way: that color blue is my favorite right now!

Pray: This is an outfit that you could also wear to work. When I first got these pants (from JC Penny), I was terrified to wear them because they’re BRIGHT red. However, after a couple of times, I’ve come to really like them. I paired them with a cardigan from Old Navy and a sheer white shirt from Penney’s. Just as a side note: I’ve also worn the red pants with the shirt in frame one from my work outfit. Love when you can mix-and-match outfits.

Love: This was my “Movie Date with Sister” outfit. It’s a plaid red flannel under a v-neck sweater from Old Navy. The jeans are a dark skinny from TJ Maxx, paired with a pair of flat, brown boots from Macy’s (Rampage). It was the perfect outfit to watch Zach Effron in That Awkward Moment.


M's Style Roll Call

As many pairs of boots as I have, this week I found myself repeatedly reaching for these camel color boots.  Maybe because they were at the front of the closet, and I was too lazy to grab another pair.  But I think the color of them was just working well with the outfits for this week.  

"Teach" Outfit:  The inspiration for this outfit was actually the black and white polka dot tights (Kate Spade), which are kind of hard to see, but they added a little excitement to the camel/black color scheme.  The black skirt is from Banana, and the sweater is Tweed from TJMaxx last season.

"Pray" Outfit:  Comfortable leggings from Loft make this outfit an easy weekend go-to.  Gray Dex brand sweater was a gift (thanks to Colleen!) and I really like the length.  The bronzed gold detail makes it work with the boots.  White t-shirt from the Gap.

"Love" Outfit:  Another pair of black leggings but these are a bit more dressy because they have some stitching going down the side (Michael Kors).  I searched high and low for a chambray shirt, and ended up with this favorite from Old Navy.  Guaranteed to see the denim shirt in a future post.


Until next week!
