Work Outfits Part 1
Hi! Remember me? I have been terrible at keeping up on here. I do have a semi excuse - I start a new job Monday! New job means outfit making time! Like my usual outfit creations, I had to have inspiration pictures. I have been in a definite winter slump and struggling to make cute outfits! I wear the same clothes year round, just in different layers, so at times it can be difficult to come up with a new and exciting outfit. Inspiration pictures to the rescue!
I save tons of Fashion inspiration on my Pinterest page, so whenever I am in a rut I head here and try and recreate a few of them. I know a lot are quite a big stretch, but anything to get me thinking with what I have. PS - EVERY SINGLE PICTURE from here had a broken link on Pinterest, or went to someone's tumblr page so they weren't the actual owner, etc. Drives me CRAZY when you try and click on a Pinterest picture and the link is broken or it goes to a random site with no information. Grrr! Makes me want to watermark my pics so that never happens with my site!
Let's begin! I can wear jeans at my new job, which is awesome! I absolutely LOVE this inspiration picture - her rocking bod doesn't hurt either. But I love how it is professional yet fun with her leopard shoes and statement necklace.

I attempted to take a couple of these pics with my nice camera. I don't think I am strong enough to hold up the camera and suck it in and attempt to pose.
Blazer: H&M, Necklace: Target (I think?), Tank: Target, Jeans: Citizens of Humanity, Leopard Heels: Guess

Weird - another blazer look. I have saved this photo for a while, too. I am still dying to get a pale coral blazer. So pretty! I love love love blazers because they look a little fancier, but are usually pretty comfy. And you can usually find cute ones at Forever 21 or inexpensive boutiques.

Again, definitely a stretch but it made me pair these two pieces together that I normally wouldn't!
Blazer: Forever 21, Tank: Express, Jeans: MiH, Flats: Von Maur (sorry about my awkward partial turn out. I swear this is cuter in real life).

Close up of the earrings! $2! (Heartbreaker - local MN boutique)
Clearly I am dying for color in all of this dreary weather. Can't take much more of it! Love this inspiration pic to keep me happy in brights!

I kind of flip flopped the colors but it works!

Normally Kim Kardashian's outfits would be hard to remake, but this one is easy!

I still want to find a better pair of black jeggings. These are little stiff and I want a pair that are sleek and comfy! (sorry about the giant camera strap).
Blazer: Forever 21, Tank: Target, Necklace: Francesca's, Skinnies: Alloy, Heels: Jessica Simpson

Both of these outfits are soooo cute, but I knew I could recreate one of them almost exactly!

My version isn't as cute, but I tried! I wish my sweater was a little looser, then I wouldn't be so judgmental of myself. :)
Sweater: Macy's, Blouse: NY&Co, Necklace: Express, Jeans: Alloy, Boots: Heartbreaker

I have a large obsession with Courtney Kerr, her show, blog, and most importantly, her style! I stalk her Instagram daily to see her outfits and she ever disappoints. This photo wasn't so much an exact inspiration, but reminded me of one of my favorite shirts.

Love this shirt! I wish I had some green skinnies. Then I would really love this outfit.

I'm always looking for ways to wear my plum jeans, and when I saw this on Instagram I was in love!

Such a simple but cute look!

And last but not least, I didn't have an inspiration picture, just want to wear it. So sue me!

I will post on Instagram what I actually end up wearing. I am going to start up the #30dayclosetremix like I did last year. Force myself to be accountable and try to keep this up!
I also had Nate order an outlet protector since my goal is to actually do my hair more often for work. The biggest problem - I worry I leave my flat iron plugged in and have anxiety all day long that I left it on. Problem solved!
Are you in a winter fashion rut? What tips do you have to get out of it??
