Work it Wednesday!

Work it Wednesday is baaaack! Have you missed it? I have...

Today's featured item is the black obi belt. I have seen these popping up in around the internet and fashion mags. I don't own one, because honestly I haven't seen them in the stores to even try on (if you know of an easily accessible one... LET ME KNOW!)

I really like the look though... they are a bit fashion forward. And a touch "serious" (think Victoria Beckham)... but let's see if we can't seamlessly integrate it into a wardrobe, shall we?

From completing this little exercise it seems as if an obi belt (at least for me personally) is best "dressed down" - that takes away the severity and makes it fun and flirty!

How about you? Would you wear an obi belt?

work it wednesday!

Hey ladies... it's that time again! Work it Wednesday - where I choose one wardrobe piece and highlight how to "work it" in three different ways. This week I am highlighting some super cool peacock earrings! 

I have seen these at a couple of online boutiques and this past weekend saw them in "real life" and fell. in. love. They just scream fun and whimsy and are super trendy right now. Trendy isn't always bad.  When used in moderation it can take the classics in your closet and instantly make them up-to-the-minute chic!

Fashion Friday... all you need is love!

As you may (or may not) know... Fashion Friday is where I take one item that I have highlighted over the past week an formulate an outfit using it. Today I am feeling basic and simple and cozy. I really loved this scarf I featured in yesterday's rainbow post from www.Vivre.com that I think was actually in their men's department... but men's-shmen's. I like it. And this week is so cold and miserable with having a sick kid that I just need some comfy-cozy goodness. How about you?

rainbow inspiration...

My four year old son asked me today, "when do the rainbows come back?" - the kid is obsessed with spring and summer. And with windchills at or below zero and feet (not inches!) of snow on the ground, who could blame him. Here's some rainbow inspiration... similar to one I did in patent recently.

Fashion Friday... a touch of spring!

In the coming weeks the stores will be flooded with early spring styles... so if you are going to be doing any clothing shopping soon, you'll need to integrate some of these spring looks into your winter wardrobe with out them looking like they are aliens from another planet. Before my husband and I had kids, when we could do whatever we wanted and had two unrestricted incomes... ahhhh, the days... we would take an annual trip to Chicago for Valentine's weekend for romance, relaxation and of course shopping! Except that navigating clothing retailers in February can be tricky. They were ready for spring, but the wind chills aren't.

Here's an outfit idea using the handbag featured earlier this week that will bring a touch of spring into your winter wardrobe!
