Outfit Inspiration | December 13, 2013

Everyday Outfit Ideas

Sometimes it’s just not that easy to come up with outfits, you know?!?! Here are some ideas:

I really like how my flannel looks with my moto jacket…lumber jack goes edgy -ha!

Top- J.Crew for similar, Jacket- The Limited, Pants- Citizens of Humanity, Shoes- Pedro Garcia (similar), Bag- Linea Pelle, Long Necklace- Anne Klein, Long Beaded Necklace- Anne Klein

I love to challenge “rules” in fashion. For example, the rule where you shouldn’t wear a necklace when the top is busy (like sequins), but I liked it, so I did -ha!

Top- Scoop NYC, Pants- J.Crew, Boots- Elaine Turner, Necklace- Nordstrom for similar, Watch- Michael Kors, Bangles- Kate Spade, Diamond Necklace- Nordstrom for similar

Black on black with a black and white scarf.

Top- Nordstrom for similar, Scarf- Gap for similar, Pants- Madewell, Shoes- Here for similar, Necklace- Nordstrom for similar, Diamond Necklace- Nordstrom for similar, Watch- Michael Kors

Top- J.Crew, Sweater- J.Crew, Pants- Citizens of Humanity, Shoes- Here for similar, Necklace- Club Monaco, Diamond Necklace- Nordstrom for similar, Watch- Michael Kors

I love wearing oxfords, they instantly make me feel “put together”.Top- J.Crew for similar, Jacket- Club Monaco, Pants- Citizens of Humanity, Shoes- Here for similar, Watch- Michael Kors

Tee- J.Crew, Vest- Nordstrom for similar, Pants- Citizens of Humanity, Rain Boots- Roma Boots, Necklace- Club Monaco, Watch- Michael Kors

I loved that this was almost monochromatic, with the navy sweater and the blue jeans.

Top- J.Crew for similar, Sweater- J.Crew, Pants- J Brand, Boots- Frye, Diamond Necklace- Nordstrom for similar

Sweater-Gap, Pants- Citizens of Humanity, Shoes- J.Crew for similar, Watch- Michael Kors, Heart Bangle- C.Wonder for similar, Bangle- Kate Spade, Crystal Bracelet- Nordstrom

Top- J.Crew for similar, Scarf- Kuhl Linscomb, Jeans- AG, Booties- Sam Edelman, Sunglasses- Ray Ban, Watch- Michael Kors

Sweater- James Perse, Jeans- Citizens of Humanity, Booties- Sam Edelman, Diamond Necklace- Nordstrom for similar, Earrings- Nordstrom

Sweater-Gap, Jeans- AG, Boots- Ugg, Necklace- Katie Amend Jewelry, Watch- Michael Kors

I think I carry the world record for how many times one person can wear a grey t-shirt -ha! Tee- J.Crew, Jacket- The Limited, Jeans- Citizens of Humanity, Sneakers- Converse, Flats- J.Crew for similar, Necklace- Club Monaco, Diamond Necklace- Nordstrom for similar, Earrings- Nordstrom

Dress- Macy’s, Jacket- The Limited, Necklace- J.Crew for similar, Jeweled Bracelet- J.Crew for similar, Bangles-Kate Spade and Nordstrom, Earrings- BCBG (old), Shoes- Here for similar

My clients tell me they really struggle with layering. I’ve tried to come up with a helpful formula, but I haven’t found one yet. For this look, I started off with a base outfit that was neutral, added the jacket and, although the scarf didn’t really “go”, it all still worked. Maybe that’s the formula. When layering, sometimes it doesn’t have to perfectly match to “go”, you know?

What’s your favorite outfit? I’d love to know!

    Love the black on black with the striped scarf. Also love the comfy denim shirt with the AG jeans and the multicolored scarf. Those are looks I would wear in my oh-so-casual life.

    I’m new to your blog and love it! Your outfits are so helpful in getting out of the rut of wearing the same thing over and over and how to mix pieces. I hope you continue with these postings. Thank you

    I see a trend with some of your shoes and I love them. I am waiting on my hubby to finish some banking so I can purchase a necklace similar to the one you have and blogged about the other day!!

    I loved all four versions of the last look – so cute!! Preppy yet casual and can take you through all four seasons. I may have to buy that shirt 😉

    My fav is the denim top with Bordeaux AG jeans 😉 and the grey AG jeans with Gap sweater and awesome necklace. Both were casual, but not… Xo
