Casual Friday Argyle Sweater

by  • 29 March, 2013 • 5 Comments

Although it’s technically spring, we’ve had a few cold snaps in Florida allowing me to still wear layers and boots. I’ve always been on the fence about argyle sweaters.  I’ve debated this before here.

Sometimes, I love them and other times, I feel like I belong on a golf course. Whether you love or hate argyle, the print works well for casual Friday at the office.

J9 Outfit: Casual Friday Edition

by  • 7 September, 2012 • 13 Comments

It’s Friday! And that means it’s time to sport another casual Friday look. I recently acquired this fun cardigan a few weeks ago and it feeds my stripes obsession. Another part of this look that I love is that it has the slightest hint of fall. Sweaters and boots, here we come! This outfit also reminded me of back-to-school time and is something I would wear if I were in school (well, I am in grad school, but that doesn’t really count).

Cardigan: $16, Dots

Purple Tee: $5, on clearance at Old Navy

Raspberry Belt: $3.48, on clearance at Target

Jeans: $8, on clearance at Target

Necklace: $8.95, Forever 21

Nude Flats: $20, on clearance at Macy’s

Total Outfit: $61.43

If you were/are in school, what would you wear on the first day?

Outfits on the Cheap: Off to the Beach

by  • 1 June, 2012 • 9 Comments

Normally on Fridays I post a casual Friday office look. But since all I can think about is the weekend and future summer beach days, I decided to share what I wore to the beach last weekend. If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know that I have an irrational love for ridiculous hats (see hat posts here and here). This beach outfit is proof of my obsession. Since it was a very windy day, the floppy hat did not photograph too well, but trust me, it is fabulous!

Summer Dress: $9.99, Marshalls

Fabulous Hat: $14.99, Target

Sunglasses: $9.99 Target

Flip-Flops: $4, Old Navy (I usually NEVER wear flip-flops, even to the beach)

Total Outfit: $38.97

Would you wear a larger-than-life hat this summer?

I don’t have a casual Friday look since I was on vacation last Friday, but this one is pretty close to one. In this outfit, I’m rocking thee different trends: bold color, animal print, and a statement necklace. All of the items in this outfit are old except for this wonderful necklace I got while in NYC. It’s from a store called So Good Jewelry and they have unique accessories at affordable prices. This was on sale for only $17! They have stores all over the country, but I couldn’t find their website.

Occasion: Running Errands

Jacket: $30, H&M

Black Tee: $10, Old Navy

Jeans: $8, on clearance at Target

Necklace: $17, So Good

Leopard Flats: $18, Target

Total Outfit: $83

Have you heard of So Good Jewelry? Have you ever been to their stores?

Jeans: $20, Old Navy

Flats: $12, on clearance at Target

Outfits on the Cheap: Winter Blues

by  • 11 December, 2011 • 6 Comments

Here is an outfit I wore to work then a 3-hour car ride out of town. It’s my first winter outfit of the season. And yes, the high was like 73 degrees, but that’s considered winter to some people here. I’m blue that it’s not colder yet and I can’t wear my new riding boots as often as I’d like to. I am in love with my new riding boots. It’s true that I don’t actually ride horses, but they are so comfy and totally transform the outfit.

Occasion: Work, then travel

Blueish Dress: $20, Old Navy

Black Tights: $6, Charlotte Russe

Riding Boots: $25, Ross

Black Necklace: $10, Target

Silver Necklace: $6, on clearance at Target

Total Outfit: $67

Are you a fan of riding boots? Do you own pair? If so, where did you get them?
