Multi color Stripes

My multicolor stripe sweater which has been in the closet since it was purchased last summer, got a chance to breathe the fresh out door air today. It's quite an upgrade to my stripes pieces as this was the first multi color stripes item that I purchased. My few other stripe pieces are mostly neutral black and white stripes. I am  glad that this can be worn in other ways as I can layer it underneath a jacket over pants or skirts. I decided to throw in a punch of color with the lime color shoulder bag; a very simple casual outfit suitable for walking around the mall on a fall afternoon with a light jacket in hand.

Do you own any or lots of stripes clothing item and are they just neutral or multicolor stripes? A little stripes here and there does not hurt as it does make wardrobes a bit interesting.

Behind the scenes

Hi friends, I have been off from Blogsville for a few days because I have been super busy behind the scenes. I have been trying to create a perfect balance in my schedule in between work, family and other beautiful things that make life great. I hope everyone is doing good and having fun so far. Hopefully, I would have some more time soon to resume my normal blogging schedule.

This outfit is what I wore today to run errands around town and it is the outfit inspired by the Polyvore Collage I blogged about here sans the shorts. The shirt is pretty old and I have had it for years but I just can't let go of it yet because it's so comfy. I love the soft linen fabric. I'm currently craving this long sleeved version on J. Crew here. I swopped the shorts for some denim pants because fall is upon us already and it was a little chilly today. My new trench coat from Old navy came in handy too.

Getting Closer..

It's day three of the Summer outfits/birthday count-down and though I'm so tired and sleepy right now, I did not want to miss my posting and just had to do it before going to bed. The outfit in this picture was worn at the close of the summer; sometime last month when I just got my low heeled leopard prints pump I blogged about here. I wore a simple sleeveless brown dress I purchased from Target last summer underneath a beige jacket and my new prints shoes completed the look. The pictures are not so clear but I decided to post them anyways.

Dress: Target
Jacket: Old Navy
Shoes: J. Crew
Bag: Kenneth Cole
Sun glasses: Target

Ouuu..gh (a big yawn). Now, I got to go to bed to get my beauty sleep. Thanks so much for visiting my blog and have a great week.

"Shoes in"- Sneak Peak

+-

The shoes are here!..:) We ladies do love our shoes and can never have enough. My packages just arrived and I think I'm done with my shoe shopping for the year; (I hope?) Save for one last purchase I might make. I'm thinking of getting a pair of leopard prints flat for the fall and I'm currently searching for an affordable pair that would not break the bank. Okay, enough rambling about my future purchase...:)

We all know that shoes make a huge statement and they transform an outfit and take it up a notch. In my opinion, they do not have to be expensive but they do have to be super comfortable. I usually do not go for trends but would get something that is in season if it is super pretty or catches my fancy; clothes and shoes alike. Also, I do get thrifty by buying only items that I really need and getting them at discount prices except for occasional splurges. So, I made a note to myself last fall that I would need a couple of new sandals this summer and a couple of booties for the fall/winter (since the ones I own presently have weathered some storm) and some rain boots for the kids and sandals also for them to play in...an endless list I know! Well, hubby took care of the kids and I took care of me!..:)


I did some stalking on Victoria's secret('s) website; my favorite place to shop and when some of my favorite pairs went on sale, I made a fast move. This post is just a sneak peak at my shoe haul and I will do the reveal later. ha! ha!! (whisper: lots of animal prints..) To see my post on the ongoing sales of my favorite pair(s) check here.

Top & Skirt: Old Navy
Cap toe flats: Neighborhood boutique

Thanks so much for stopping by and do enjoy the rest of the week. Leave me a link and I'll check out your blogs.
