Out of my comfort zone

As long as I can remember I have avoided drawing a lot of attention to the lower half of my body. I've seen people of all shapes and sizes rock boldly colored pants, but I never thought it was a trend I could pull off. When I saw these dark red corduroys at Forever 21, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and give it a try.

I've had these pants for a few months and, much to my surprise, they have  become one of my favorite wardrobe pieces. They're super comfortable and warm.

Outfit:
Pants: Forever21+
Shirt: Old Navy
Cardigan: Old Navy
Belt: Thrifted from the Garment District
Shoes: Target

Now that I've got a little experience rocking the boldly colored pants, I am really coveting these green skinnies!

Dress Obsessed

I love dresses. In fact, I have a whole board on Pinterest dedicated solely to dresses. I carry most of my weight below the waist, so it is a lot easier for me to find dresses that fit than it is for me to find fitted bottoms. I am most comfortable in a dress with leggings or tights and a cardigan. 

I really love this dress. In fact, I love it so much that I bought it in two colors, and I've been thinking of stopping by H&M for one more. I wore the coral one last week but didn't get outfit photos because I had to be into work early that day. (I am really not a morning person.)

Outfit:

Dress: H&M

Camisole: very old, but I think Old navy

Cardigan: Old Navy

Tights: Target

Boots: DSW (wide calf) 

When I find a basic item that I really like I tend to buy it in several colors. Do you own multiple colors of the same style, or do you like more diversity in your wardrobe?

Men's Cardigan and Polka dots

When you're out shopping, don't count out the men's section of your favorite stores. I absolutely love men's cardigans. They tend to run just a little bit longer than women's cardigans and they typically have pockets.  Typically colors in the men's department are pretty basic, but every now and then you'll find something unusual like this teal number.

A pencil skirt, basic shirt and a cardigan is kind of my work "uniform".  It is the combination I gravitate towards for the office, especially if I am doing in person interviews, or anything where I need to look especially professional (I work in HR). This fun polka dot skirt adds a little sass to an otherwise basic look. 

Outfit:

Tank: H&M

Cardigan: H&M Men's 

Skirt: Torrid

Belt: Forever 21

Pumps: DSW, Crown Vintage

Necklace: Gifted

Do you ever incorporate men's wear into your wardrobe?
