from work to weekend

Work:
Pants, Belt & Bracelets- ThriftedTop- LoftShoes- Payless w/ Vintage Earrings; Purse- Gap; Necklaces- Dragon Moon & RW&CO; Ring- H&M


I'm a huge fan of colours, the brighter the better but sometimes I'm in the mood for pastels.  Last week I unearthed my thrifted Banana Republic pale blue pants (bought over 5 years ago) and took them from work to weekend, with just a change in accessories and shoes.  I'm always amazed at how different styling can completely transform the same items of clothing.  I really honed my remixing skills with Kendi Everyday's 30x30 challenge (which I really wish she would initiate again- maybe we should all petition!)



I'm linking up to Inspiration Monday, where reality tv star Kristin Cavallari has me lusting over her purple pants (hmm wonder if I could thrift a pair?

Weekend:

Pants, Belt, Clutch, Bracelets, Scarf & Shoes- Thrifted; Top- Loft






How do you take a look from work to weekend?

  1. I love this look both ways! The pants are great and they fit you perfectly. The top is super fun too. And I can't decide which pair of shoes I like more, because they are both awesome!

    Usually for work to weekend let's say I wore a skirt and while I might wear a dressier blouse with it for work, I'd wear a casual t-shirt with it on a weekend.

  8. It's so great when you can take an outfit from one scene to another. Those pants are lovely and the sparkle in the tank is super fun for work. But the bright accessories and youthful pigtails really make the outfit great for the weekend too. Lovely!

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
