{one more steal for good measure}

Happy Halloween Weekend! Today we have a Halloween Parade at work, our department is taking on Peter Pan and Neverland! I hope to take in a scary movie or two with my man {Paranormal Activity 4?!} and do nothing but indulge with a bit of Halloween candy and finalize details for our first Des Moines Blogger Event happening in two weeks!

Happy Friday!

Her Way // My Way: Katherine McPhee

Topshop Blazer // Jessica Simpson Pumps // Velvet Maxi Dress {Similar} // Harlem Bag

If I could design an outfit to wear every day, for both work and play, this would be it.  It has just the right amount of comfort & pops of color with these great Jessica Simpson heels and a bright blue blazer! 


What would you pair with your brights?

Look for Less - Olivia Palermo

I was perusing images on Pinterest this past weekend and fell in love with this look by Olivia Palmero.  Queen of mixing patterns, textures, and prints - she neutralizes the mixing of leopard and floral by adding a black feathered blazer & a cognac carry-all.  As I just invested in a pair of floral pants - this is a great idea for remixing! Below is the look for less - all items $100 or less!

My Style: Neons & Neutrals

{Mint LA Blazer, Tobi Blouse, Paige Denim, Forever 21 belt & necklace, London Fog bag, Marc Jacob sunnies}

This is one of the Tobi blouses I picked up in lieu of spending a fortune on the beautiful, but oh so expensive equipment blouses. I went out on a limb purchasing this color, as I'm not one to typically step outside of my blues & blacks. But tis the season of color - so I give you this look inspired by this outfit from My Style Pill.

stripes & denim

I have a slight obsession with Blair from Atlantic-Pacific.  This outfit is merely Exhibit A & even inspired me to create this outfit.  Just rocking some stripes and denim, no big deal.  She can even pull off the, "This ole' jacket, no big thing, I'll just tie it around my waist." look.  So chic & simply effortless.  

This is my version of Blair's look, each piece under $100!
