one piece many ways

Now & Later // Link up

MK over at Outfit Posts is hosting a link up. The challenge is to show how you would use one piece now (when the weather is still sometimes a little chilly) and later when the weather gets warmer.

I felt like my neon pants weren’t quite summery enough so I added a shorts outfit, even though I don’t wear shorts a ton. And, I’d probably wear sandals in the two outfits on the right, but my toenails aren’t painted so I kept them covered. 😉 **please excuse the unfocused pics – I don’t know why I’m having issues getting it in focus with the remote!**

I got this chambray shirt at Loft and it is by far the best one I’ve found! I have one from J Crew Outlet and a denim one from H&M, but this one blows them out of the water. Like, I love it so much, I want to go buy another one just to stash for when I undoubtably mess mine up somehow. It’s soft, just the right length for me and the perfect color for the denim on denim trend.

One maxi skirt, Six ways :: linking it up

I love my maxi (aka crotchless yoga pants), so when I was deciding which piece of clothing I was going to remix for an upcoming blog link up with Putting Me Together, it was one of my top choices.

I kept my jewelry to a minimum because, 1) I think you can focus more on the outfit rather than the jewelry, but 2) I was trying to get my photos done quickly & quietly while my sick hubby was taking a nap. 😉

Here are each of the outfits individually…My maxi skirt is from Loft, but most of the other items aren’t online anymore so I didn’t include links. If there’s something specific you have a question about though, I can tell you where I got it.
