Somehow it seems like my spring sartorial style this year features a lot of pencil skirt + tights + ankle boots in the same color. It's definitely a flexible building block for work outfits. Here it's as simple as adding a scarf in the colors of the blazer and skirt.
Coral blazer (JNY), $4.95/wear
Dark grey skirt (Walmart), $0.92/wear
Grey short-sleeved T (Kohls), $0.32/wear
Grey/coral tree scarf (Target), $0.86/wear
Grey tights + grey ankle boots by Seychelles, $4.24/wear
Outfit total: $11.29/wear
"Blue Bird"--Thursday, 4/20/17
This time I upped my ante by wearing not only the navy skirt + tights + ankle boots combo, but also a white t-shirt just like last week. But with a different-colored cardigan and a different navy/pink scarf, it doesn't look like a near-repeat. (Also, if it's not clear, I LOVE these slightly longer pencil skirts from Walmart. My JCP pencil skirts come in great colors, but the length is a bit shorter than ideal.)
Navy skirt (Walmart), $2.50/wear
White long-sleeved V neck T (Lands End), $1.00/wear
Light blue cardigan (Lands End), $4.37/wear
Navy tights + navy ankle boots by Seychelles, $5.60/wear
Navy/burgundy/blue birds scarf (Kohls), $1.37/wear
Outfit total: $14.84/wear
"Clod Stomping Leopard Print"--Friday, 4/21/17
And now to round of the week with flared jeans and boots, which has a kind of semi-country look to it, not a go-to silhouette for me. But I'm in more solid Sally territory with the leopard print and the long scarf, right?
Light magenta short-sleeved T (Walmart), $2.50/wear
Grey leopard blazer (thrifted, Macy's), $0.63/wear
Flared jeans (thrifted, Lane Bryant), $0.11/wear
Bright pink scarf (Target), $1.09/wear
Grey ankle boots by Seychelles, $4.12/wear
Outfit total: $8.45/wear
And here's some bunny goodness in the classic form of the Broken Polish Loaf.
In other news...I also hate these goddamn tops.

Breaking--this just in--being president of the United States is hard! But maybe watching Trump learn this the tough way could have a sliver of a silver lining?

Speaking of which, I recently watched the New Girl episode "Spiderhunt," which of course made me think of my mom. She would be down for this activity.
