Neutral base with a POP of color- Day 13

I feel like so many of these challenges would have been a bit easier if I only had a turquoise necklace.  I can't tell you how many times I thought just that: "If only I had a turquoise necklace."

Well I don't have one yet, but trust me....I've been on the lookout.

In case you were wondering, these are what I've been ogling and googling a lot lately:

Today's outfit is no exception.

It is as neutral and blah as I could think of and I know a turquoise necklace would've been that "pop" the outfit needed.

Instead I turned to a scarf and turquoise earrings as my pop of color.



Scarf and Cardigan: Maurices; Earrings: Local store;
Tank: Romy; Skirt: Goodwill



In the end I generally don't love it.  I don't even know if I really like it.

I kind of look like my Kindergarten teacher from over 20 years ago and I KNOW I don't like that.

Sorry Mrs. M.



Layer accessories- Day 7

If you've stopped by here before, most likely you have already read that I'm a pretty simple girl....at least style wise.  Wearing belts, tucking my tops in, wearing different patterns all pushed the envelope a bit.  So then it should be no surprise that the prompt to layer my accessories resulted in a little anxiety.  If I do wear an accessory it is usually a very simple one and all by itself: a necklace with a simple pendant, a small bracelet, etc.

To me, layering the accessories was meant for the other girls who have their "stuff" together, who know what looks good with what and pretty much rock whatever they wear, even if it is an old flour sack.

As for me?  I'm still trying to figure it out.



Necklaces: Round beads x 2-gifts; Shirt: Romy



But I'm proud of my layers and will most likely be wearing this (simple) layered look again!
