Inspiration: Jessica Simpson Collection |
New purchases: do you wear them right away, or do you save them? I normally wear things right away, but I've been saving this colorblock button down for a couple months now. My theory is that there are so many things I could possibly wear it with, it was hard to pick just one! Regardless, I'm digging the end result of this catalog re-creation and plan to brainstorm even more ways to wear it. How would you wear this top?
Shirt: TJ Maxx, $15
Pants: Target, $22 (similar, similar, similar, similar)
Necklace: My Stella & Dot website, $138
Shoes: Chinese Laundry c/o (same)
Purse: Michael Kors, Santa
Watch: Michael Kors, family gift
Rings: My Stella & Dot website 1, 2
Bracelets: My Stella & Dot website 1, 2, 3
Rings: My Stella & Dot website 1, 2

Love that shirt, and the Stella & Dot necklace.

Like the look, but I think a belt could help this look more pulled together.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I know you aren't into what things are called but technically, that shirt isn't a button down (button down shirts are the ones with buttons that hold the collar down, that's a button up shirt...)

DeleteI actually think that was helpful. I didn't know that either!
DeleteI love your shirt. I have a similar one and this is how I wore it, had to dig through a lot of posts to reach it but here it is for you. :) http://fuss.co.in/voices/

The outfits running through my mind are endless. This top would look awesome with pencil skirts, jeans, colored pants, oh my goodness! A denim jacket maybe? I love it. I'm also loving the versatility of this look!

I'm loving the end result.
ReplyDeleteI don't wear everything right away, which is a sign that I probably need to stop buying things. I'm glad I didn't wear my mint Express blouse right away though, because it turns out they restocked it online so I got it, another blouse, and olive skinnies for an average of $29 each. Phew that was a close one.
I'm also of the mentality that I shouldn't "waste" a cute outfit on a day where I don't need one. That's a holdover mentality from college/when I didn't have as vast of a wardrobe (before I started working full time). So I definitely need to get rid of that mentality because I could waste a cute outfit every day now and not run out of things to wear.
Love your outfit. I like to wear what I buy right away. It's like getting a present!!! :) Love the top and how much your look looks like the picture. I like yours better. I would pair this top with trouser jeans and a blazer or under a sweater.

I can't save new purchases! I get so excited I want to wear it all right away! Your outfit is so much cuter than the inspiration and I am loving those shoes :) Good job!

Gorgeous top! I'd wear it with everything, lol. Seems really versatile! I vary back and forth; sometimes I wear new things right away and sometimes I forget about them for a bit. xD
ReplyDeleteOhhhh I love those shoes and they are on sale now! It's almost like I HAVE to buy them now lol

I love the way you wore this shirt. I'm a fan of the color of the pants too. I think it would look really cute tucked into a printed skirt for spring.

This is one of my favourite looks - it's simple but so chic.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an effortlessly cute look. I like to wear things right away because unless it's a major event (wedding/holiday), why save it?
ReplyDeleteThat top would go with absolutely anything!! I'd love pairing it with a really loud patterned skirt :)

I found this on the clearance rack at TJMAXX for $10!
ReplyDeleteLove this look on you :) This is great colour block top which is so versatile. I have this kind of top and I have worn it in a similar way - here: http://coverupchic.blogspot.ca/2012/09/fall-suiting-burgundy-with-contrast-trim.html; with cobalt jeans - here: http://coverupchic.blogspot.ca/2012/09/early-fall-attire-creme-and-royal-blue.html, and with leggings - here: http://coverupchic.blogspot.ca/2012/10/fall-attire-leather-and-bows.html

*Almost* any purchase from TJ Maxx is a good one in my book :) I feel like there are endless ways to wear this: casual with jeans and black pumps, dressy with a skater skirt, tights and ankle boots, or even with black jeans and bright colored pumps. Love versatile tops like this!

I recently purchased a top just like this from Kohls that has a cutout in the back across the shoulder blades! I wore it buttoned up with a black pencil skirt and a sock bun. Love the versatility
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love the gold tipped shoes!
ReplyDeleteI wore a vintage shirt that looked a lot like that tuked into a black pencil skirt with black boots and a shimmery pink statement necklace.

ReplyDeleteLove this look on you! As for new items, if I don't wear something in the first month I buy it, it's probably a sign I should take it back. Not that I'm always disciplined about that rule :)

Great look! I love the classic color block blouse with the burgundy jeans, but I love it much more without the coat.
