Making it Simple.....and Adding some Lashes!!

Today is going to be a quick post on how to create a simple yet pulled together look when you don't have as much time to plan your outfits.
I usually plan out my outfits the night before, however with Scandal on last night I did not make the time to that! So this morning I kept it really simple and easy. I knew that I had to had to wear something that would keep me warm, as it is pretty cool for us here in Texas, which is very unusual during this season.
I started with my grey denim, which is a great color to own in denim because you can pretty much pair it with anything and it transitions into all seasons. Then I added a sheer button-up shirt, I have a lot of these in all different colors, I think that they are just so easy to wear, can be outfitted with all different kinds of bottoms and still give you a polished look. I choose one that I have in a bright coral color to help and pull that color out of the my black based multi-color tweed blazer. Layering any type of blazer over a button up is a super easy way to look pulled together. I personally like a little bit of a cropped blazer, that is fitted at the waist and not the traditional silhouette, that is what seems to work best for my body shape.
I finished off my look with some plum colored shoe-boots and jewelry that you have seen before in my Mix it Up! post (http://anelegantedge.blogspot.com/2013/04/mix-it-up.html) I loved the pop of teal, as that is another color in my jacket. That is why I love this blazer you can pretty much pair it with any color!

 

Here is a close up of my blazer, so you can see how many colors are in it.

 

And finally to help glam up my look a little, I added these really fabulous lashes that my mom introduced me to. They are really great because it is 3 individual lashes together, I just put them at the ends to help add a little volume. I have tried doing the full lash thing and while it looks great for an event, it is just a little to much for daytime (in my opinion). I don't know that I will use these everyday because it does add sometime to getting ready, but it is fun to do every now and then without looking overly made-up and the great thing is that you add more if you want to go for a more dramatic look!

 

Have a great weekend!!
