Outfit of the Day | Pink & Leopard

Blazer: The Limited Black Collection | Dress: Calvin Klein {similar} | Heels: Nine West 'Flax' {awesome version with ankle straps} | Tights: Simply Vera via Kohl's | Scarf: Simply Vera (I think) via Kohl's, old {similar} | Watch: Fossil | Ring: F21

Fun scarves are a super safe way to mix prints at work (especially in the winter, I'm suspicious of all you sweat-gland-less weirdos and your summer scarves). If you have to go to court or a meeting or somewhere else that's inherently unfit for fun and enjoyment, leave it at your desk.

I'm joining in the Take One, Pass It On challenge at Sarah's Real Life this month, so be sure to check out everyone else who's playing along and check back here tomorrow to see which one of these pieces gets remixed!

Bloggers Who Killed It

NEED TO GO ON A PINNING SPREE? CHECK OUT MY FRIDAY FAVES BOARD.

{Katie's Bliss} That dress, that jacket, those booties.

{B Soup} Fantastic print mixing.

{a fashion love affair} I usually hate flat ankle booties, but when they're done exactly right I almost want a pair. Also, proof that pencil skirts can be cool outside the office.

{Sparkle and Spice} Teeeechnically this was September... but gold and plaid? You know I'm in.

{The Other Side of Gray} Plaid coat peeerrrffection.

{hello fashion} Full skirt + amazing peep-toe booties.

{allie wears} I don't know what I love more, the pants or the bag. Please don't make me choose.

{Sarah's Real Life} Simple, but not even a little boring.

{Simply Just Lovely} Fur and a flippy skirt, plus the coolest haircut I've ever seen.

The World Outside of Style Blogs

This book finally came out and I like it Alot.

Am I the only one whose entire Google history is dogs in funny costumes?

SO SOON.

OCTOBER, am I right?
(get ready for the picture-heaviest catch up post in the history of ever.)

I wore this last weekend to go see a play (The North China Lover - better than I expected, still a little weird) and stuff my face full of PF Chang's. ALL OF YOUR LETTUCE WRAPS, PLEASE.

Neutral outfits are way more fun now that my hair is a connnstant accessory. Plus, I love this because you could pretty much swap in any skirt in your closet and it would still work. I can stage 5 cling to my summer clothes for months!

Vest: Target | Sweater: Target | Jeans: American Eagle, old {similar} | Flats: Steve Madden 'Vegasss' | Bag: Melie Bianco via TJMaxx | Scarf: apt. 9 via Kohl's

In case it wasn't immediately apparent, I love this sweater. And Target generally. And this amazing vaguely-J.Crew-ey vest... from Target.

Blazer: The Limited Black Collection | Top: DKNY via TJMaxx | Skirt: F21, old {similar, similar} | Heels: Nine West 'Booboo' {similar} | Necklace: F21, old

I've had this skirt for awhile and I can't really remember the last time I wore it, and then this month it was all I wanted to wear. It was easy to grab on those mornings where I didn't plan an outfit but I didn't want to wear a plain suit again.

Hey remember that time I wore basically the same outfit twice in the same month? Waaaait for it...

Boom.

I hate this outfit from the knees down. 

I HATE NUDE TIGHTS. I HATE THEM. 

Maybe navy? I don't know. But please try not to look at my legs in that picture.

Blazer: The Limited Grey Collection | Tee: ...keep reading | Skirt: The Limited Grey Collection | Heels: Sam Edelman 'Portney' {same in different color} | Necklace: Nordstrom Rack {similar} | Bracelet: J.Crew {BaubleBar dupe}

Hypothetically, this is what one would wear if one woke up in an apartment not one's own and realized that the only clothes one had were yesterday's suit and the smallest tee in one's boyfriend's closet.

Welcome to the grown-up version of the walk/shack of shame.

Sweater: F21, old | Jeans: Gap | Heels: ShoeMint {similar, similar - can you tell I love ankle straps?} | Earrings: F21, old {similar} | Watch: Fossil

These jeans are the same jeans from this picture, so I'm not sure why they look suctioned around my cankles here, but suffice it to say this was a whole lot better in real life. This was my "we all passed the bar exam, let's go drink beer and eat baby pretzel bites" outfit.

Jacket: Rubbish via Nordie's {similar} | Top: Target {similar} | Leggings: Target | Booties: Betsey Johnson 'Ziah' {same in leopard print} | Necklace: F21, old | Watch: Fossil

Stay tuned this afternoon for my favorite things on the Internet from the month of October.

It's good to be back :)
