Top: Express

Pants: The Limited

Shoes: Aldo Shoes

Bracelet: The Limited

I am working from home today before I head off to the great city of Knoxville for the Tennessee v. Florida game tomorrow afternoon! Go Vols!

I love the combination of gold studs on this olive green tank. I am really digging olive and khaki for fall, which is funny because I actually wear very little khaki in real life! Probably means I won't actually jump on that trend wagon, but I like to look at it in the fashion magazines. But olive? That's a trend I can definitely get behind!

Vest: Ann Taylor Loft

Capris: LEI

Sandals: Aldo

Necklaces: Free

Ring: The Limited

This look was inspired by one of my fave fashion bloggers, Kimberly over at Fab Finds Under $50. Each month she posts an Inspiration Calendar for those days when you just need a little help getting dressed.

I got this vest a few weeks ago at the ATL final clearance event ($4.98!). As soon as I saw it, I envisioned wearing it with shorts and a white tank top, which I did on vacation a few weeks ago (sorry, no picture!). But I was struggling with how to wear it to work since shorts aren't appropriate. When I saw the 'Blazer and Cropped Pants combo' on the August Inspiration Calendar, I immediately thought of this vest. I never would have put these two together without that little extra spark I got from the calendar. Thanks, Kimberly, for inspiring fashion bloggers every day!

Top and Skirt: New York & Company

Sweater: Ann Taylor Loft

Bracelets: Ann Taylor Loft

Shoes: Naturalizer

So this is my version of 'getting dressed in the dark'....or at least without a mirror.

Nate had a dentist appointment this morning, so he slept late. I neglected to plan an outfit ahead of time, so I was left dressing the closet without benefit of a mirror. It turned out okay but I'm not thrilled with it. I feel a bit 'hippy' (and not in the '70's funkadelic way).

That said, I like the pieces of this outfit, just not the whole. I love the little flower and gather details of the sweater. And the bracelets were final clearance scores from the Spring and I have gotten a ton of use out of them already, both separately and together. This outfit is definitely a case of the whole not equalling the sum of its parts.
