Okay now that we have sufficiently laughed and are looking forward to the weekend, let's start on my outfit of the day! Summers in Atlanta can be tricky to navigate. Here is the problem, outside is always INSANELY hot and inside my office the air is blowing so cold, you would think I need a heater! This is why I usually dress in layers. Layers are the easiest way to make sure you are always prepared. Throwing a jean jacket or blazer or even a cardigan on over your outfit will allow you to always be prepared! So let's get started...
This is another really simple outfit. To be honest, I don't have too many fashion forward looks in my closet. I tend to go more towards basics that can be built upon. That way I always know I have something to wear. I also looking at this picture feel like i have WAY too much white and black! It's summer I promise to add some color soon!
My skirt is an old pencil skirt from Express. I own like three of these in multiple colors. I have tried a million skirts from a million places and I always come back to these! They are perfect for the office. Here is the same skirt in black! White skirts are perfect for summer because they are light and airy. I like staying with neutral color bottoms for the most part because it allows you to play with color elsewhere without it being overkill. Although you can't tell from here...I promise to add color soon LOL!
My tank top is just a tank top from Old Navy. See here for an example. I have two types of tank tops I wear. The first is one similar to the white one I had on my post on Monday. I usually buy those to fi pretty tight to the body. This tank top I buy a size larger. I like to do this because it gives an option of what to wear. Sometimes you are having a "bloated" day and need something looser and sometimes you are like "dang I look good" and want something a little more form fitting...always have options. it saves you from giving up and wearing sweatpants LOL!
I searched everywhere for a jean jacket I loved. Everyone I looked at I just didn't love. It was either too dark or too light. More 80's that today or WAY to fashion forward for me. Then, I found this one in a Forever 21 in Orlando and fell in love. It is cropped and just the right color. It goes with everything and overtime you will see I wear it ALL the time.
My shoes are from Target. I love Target shoes. Is it just me or did they seriously step up their game in the last few years. I bought these ones a while back but these are really close to the ones I have. A leopard print access is perfect for pulling a look together. I love a hint of leopard to add a touch of fashion!
I was running late this morning to take my daughter to camp so my accessories are really minimal, a necklace my husband gave me on our wedding day and a simple silver bracelet.
Let me know what ya'll think and again HAPPY HUMP DAY!
Love Always,
Katie
