How I Style…

How I Style… a purple cardigan! The one above was purchased from Anthropologie in early 2011. I was eying it in Alberta at the West Edmonton Mall, but it was priced at something like $118 for this thin material! I ended up finding it on sale for a fraction of the cost, months later. So I picked that baby up immediately.I obviously don’t know how to wear it any other way but the same way I’ve worn it. Whoops! How did I not notice that??

I know I’m not styling the Anthropologie any different than the previous one shown, I haven’t really tried my best to style this. I kinda like it the way I’ve been wearing it. Plus it’s really tight in the sleeves so I can only wear short sleeved with it.

The other plum cardigan shown (in the bottom photos) was a Christmas gift from my boss in 2010. I love it!

Time to go research wireless booster. I still don’t have my desktop computer at home up at running. Super slow laptop’s where it’s at.

First day back to work in 2012. Oh, it’s always so hard to come back to reality, isn’t it?

Well it’s a new year so I have a new topic. How I Style… blazers. I’ve styled my cardigans for seven weeks now, so I thought I’d switch it up and show you how I’ve worn my inexpensive blazers for work.

This will be a short little post as I feel very corporate and businesslike workin the red blazer. I haven’t found an ideal way to dress it down just yet. But this is the way I’ve been styling it for the time being.This blazer was originally over $100 at Mexx. I never noticed it until it was on the sale rack for $40. It’s made of a really thick wool and there were a few other colors to choose from like grey and black. I’m somewhat kicking myself for not picking up the grey one. But from what you see below, I clearly don’t wear it often enough. I really dislike the middle look. I look like a middle-aged boss lady. Ew. My favorite has to be the one on the left, just paired everything all simple-like with black, and making the blazer pop on its own.

How would you pair this?

See Thursday? I cannot stand dress pants on me. I’ve even tried to get them tailored to make the leg more slimmer. It just turns out terribly. I haven’t found a pair of dress pants I enjoy wearing and I don’t know why I keep them around. It’d be put to much better use to donate it. But remembering how much they cost, plus the cost of tailoring discourages me from simply giving them away. I just think there’s a better way to dress that is more flattering for my body shape. Clearly dress pants aren’t the way. It adds too much bulk to my frame and makes me look 25lbs heavier than I really am. Pooie. Anyway, at least I’m loving the rest of the week. Yay!

I’m going to take a wee break from blogging over Christmas and starting tomorrow I have some guest bloggers lined up to post here. Fun right? Stay tuned!
