Well this hasn't happened in awhile, I had challenges getting good pictures of my outfit today. These were the best I could manage before my boss came in for the day. I think it's such a dark outfit it's just not photographing well. I never claimed to be any sort of professional!
Pants and blouse - Banana Republic, hand me down and thrifted
Sweater - Charter Club
Shoes - Etienne Aigner, thrifted
Necklace - Butterfly Boutique
I was originally just going to wear the sweater and pants, but then decided at the last minute to add the blouse to have a little something extra. I don't always do well with a button up shirt under a sweater, but this one is working ok for me, I think because it's short sleeved. Less bulk under the sweater.
Also, I didn't do it today, but I have had some requests for more detailed shots of some of my jewelry, so I'll try to do that a little more often in the future.
And, that is about all I have today. We had another night of birthday celebrations last night with my in-laws and I'm quite wiped out today! It's both a blessing and a little bit of a curse to have so many birthdays so close together!
I really like the blouse under the sweater, it adds a little pop to it.
ReplyDeleteI really like the button up under the sweater and the necklace. It's kind of preppy :)
ReplyDeleteNo matter how hard I try, I still can't get photos to turn out the way I want them too. Heather
Very cute- I love those pants! Are they velvet?
ReplyDeleteNope - corduroy, but they are soft as velvet!
DeleteYou look super cozy & cute! I feel you on the photo difficulties! So frustrating sometimes!
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of wearing button downs under sweaters! It's all I've been wearing lately!

cute outfit! you look cozy :) I hope you had fun last night!
ReplyDeletei never wear button downs under sweaters, either...it always feels too bulky. maybe i need to get a short sleeved button down!!
ReplyDeleteWell regardless of the photos your outfit is super cute! I love the sweater :) And if you saw my photos today we were having difficulties lighting in our apartment. I really need to go home over lunch to get day time photos ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the collared shirt under the sweater. It gives a nice little pop of color! Glad you had a good time last night.
ReplyDeleteI COMPLETELY understand the frustration with shirts under sweaters... Too much stuff going on, ARGH! But I can't wait to see more of your jewelry!
ReplyDeleteI like the collared shirt under the sweater. My office is usually on the colder side, so I layer a lot.
ReplyDeleteA blouse under a sweater has pretty much been my go-to outfit for the past few weeks! I completely agree that a short sleeve shirt is easier, as sweaters can already be bulky! You look cute and professional :)

This is a different look for you, but I think it works! I agree with others, the collar does add a very great detail. I usually keep a couple of sleeveless buttondowns specifically for layering. I have a very thin black one that is pretty much only for layering.
ReplyDeleteThat outfit looks so warm and cozy! it's kind of a weird thing to say but it just gives me that feeling :) you look wonderful and I think that detailed shots of your jewelry is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to start having to wear my cords again - I think I forgot I had them! This looks great with the sweater, and the button up underneath was a great addition to the outfit!

ReplyDeleteI loved the necklace you had on yesterday - and i don't like those 'signature' necklaces that are all the rage this year. nope. and ...i know what you mean about shirts under sweaters (too tight sometimes).

Birthday mania - lots of cake though :) And I swear sometimes the camera is just conspiring against us!

November is definitely a popular birthday month - it's because Valentine's Day is nine months prior :)
ReplyDeleteI like the shirt layered underneath, the collar poking out looks cute!
