Keep it Simple - My Go To Outfits

Hello lovelies!
I'm joining up again for WIWW over at the Pleated Poppy.

While recently I've enjoyed dressing celebrities(I mean photoshopping) like Reese Witherspoon, January Jones and Audrina Patridge, I figured it's time to link up a few of my favorite outfits.

I'm a stay at home wife and I work from home.
While I like the idea of getting dressed everyday, I don't.
I mean, I get dressed, just not dressed UP everyday.
Especially ever since I had this moment.
(On a side note, ever since that moment I've been consistent for 7 weeks now!)

While I'm usually drawn to anything with a great print (as evidenced by my friends and the fact that anytime I go shopping with them they'll pull the wildest print off the rack and say, "This totally looks like you!") lately my favorite outfits have been very basic. Like this one.

I seems like so many women (including me!) feel the need to layer-layer-layer and over-accessorize when trying to look trendy and fashionable.

Sometimes our best bet is to keep it simple and spice things up with a few fun accessories.

These are two of my recent favorite go-to outfits (& my favorite fun accessories!).

Outfit #1:
Top: thrifted and refashion by me (vintage refashioned tops will be coming soon to my shop!)
Jeans: my favorite skinny jeans from New York & Co (I desperately need to get another pair!)
Oversized sunglasses: Betsey Johnson
Green GOES WITH EVERYTHING shoes: Mossimo from Target several years ago
Yes, I really do think they go with everything.

Outfit #2:
Top: thrifted (& is the shirt I patterned my white tee after!)
Jeans: same ole same ole
Necklace: made by me
Shoes: some Italian suede shoes I bought in Chicago several year ago
(Wore them over Easter playing with my niece & nephews in the yard. They might be ruined.)

Here's a set I put together of some simple looks. The best thing about keeping it simple is that can totally accessorize with shoes, jewelry, purses, hairstyles.You have more room to give an outfit multiple looks - daytime, work, evening ... whatever you want!

Headed to any weddings this summer??! Check out this post for bridal luncheons, showers or wedding looks!
