Lace, Dots and Leopard

Today was another miserable rainy morning and although I had grand intentions of wearing a skirt with this top today, I just couldn’t do it. And since pajamas aren’t acceptable in the office, I settled for some J.Crew cotton polka-dot cafe capris. Part of me wanted to sport all black in protest of the weather, but I can’t currently find my favorite black sweater (UGH) so navy it was.  I stayed with my tried and true pearl/crystal necklace combo after I failed again to style the J.Crew factory neon crystal necklace in a way I was happy with. I’m still trying. This morning’s photo took a lot of extra light since there was literally none to be had – it was that dreary out.

I will say, one of the perks of doing a daily wardrobe inventory (and posting it online) is that I am much less likely to try and be lazy with my wardrobe choices in the morning. So I appreciated the extra push this morning because I ended up with an outfit I hadn’t originally planned on. What do you think? Worth the extra push this morning? Come on, leave me a comment and let me know what you think! Thanks for visiting 🙂

P.S. – I’m excited to say that I linked up today with Mix & Match Fashion Blog for What I Wore To Work!

    I have that top and never thought to belt it – great idea! You outfit is wonderful.
    I usually polyvore an outfit the night before and 50% of the time when I dress, I pick something totally different. At least I had a plan.
    I admire bloggers for posting their outfits regularly – so much pressure!

      Having a plan/direction is half the battle…it makes me feel somewhat accomplished in outfit planning. I love coming up with new ways to wear existing clothing items! I’m new to the whole blog thing – it is definitely a time commitment and eats up some of my morning taking pictures, etc. but I’m having a ton of fun doing it! Thanks for the feedback and taking the time to comment!! 🙂

    Wow! What a cute outfit 🙂 Love the lace top and the polka pants individually, but even more chic when paired up! xo
