Work It: Casual Thursday

I have a confession. This post was almost titled "Ridin' Hound & I'm Gettin It!". Yes, inspired by my houndstooth blazer, riding boots, and words from the poet whom we all know as 2 Chainz.  Some days it is just too cold to wear slacks and dress shoes, so I moved casual Friday to Thursday and pulled out the boots and (not quite) jean skinnies.

Chill Weekend

I think I am the very last person in the blogosphere to use Polyvore, but that's OK. I've finally bitten the bullet and joined and I have been hooked ever since. This past Friday there was snow (!) and sleet :(  in NC so I was cooped up in the house, bundled up trying to stay warm. I wanted to create some outfits for the weekend, but out of sheer laziness I found myself using Polyvore to come up with looks based on items in my closet instead of going up to my actual closet.

Here are the inspiration looks I came up with...

...and here are my actual looks from this past weekend:

Work It: Snakeskin & Oxblood

I thought I got home too late in the afternoons to take outdoor pics, but I guess I was wrong! I was able to catch the last little bit of light for my mini-photo shoot. This is another work outfit featuring a pair of oxblood ankle trousers by Merona and a New Direction snake print blouse from Belk's.  Trousers always make me feel a bit bigger, so to counter that I  accented my waist with a skinny belt and added a black cropped cardigan.  Silver jewelry completes the look.
