Happy Wednesday lovelies!
It's Hump Day already and I'm thankful for how quickly this week is going by.
Sometimes I wish that I had somewhere special to go everyday-an event of some sort-so that I could dress up and do more outfit posts.
Does anyone else feel that way?
Probably not because most of the bloggers that I visit are mainly fashion bloggers.
Sooo, I guess I'm alone in feeling this. LOL
Anyhow, since blogging I've noticed that when I do get dressed there's somewhat of a formula that I follow, if you will.
It first begins with picking a statement item from my wardrobe...
Like this one...
It could be a blazer, pants, a shirt, or even this thrifted gingham skirt which has been sitting in my closet for more than a year-easily!

For some reason, I was on the fence about this skirt. It fit a little awkward and it had a weird 'fishtail' like thing going on in the back!
But I rocked it anyway.
The next step would be for me to pick a contrasting color to pair with the statement piece.

The coral/pink shirt was perfect!
The colors are a bit more springy than the season calls for but who follows fashion rules anyway!?
I don't!
I just make my own!!
Next, I gather my accessories. If my clothing pieces are already matchy, matchy then I will go for contrasting accessories. But in this case, since my pieces are contrasting, I went with neutral accessories.

And shoes...

| Shoes-Thrifted (Nine West) |
Can you believe that these cute Nine West babies were thrifted brand NEW for $1!?
I couldn't!
I snatched them up with the quickness and watched the other ladies boil with thrift envy as I went merrily about my way!!
Since I don't have a cream bag, I added this thrifted beauty to pull off the look. I also styled this bag here and here.

And that's it. I have found it to work really well for me-especially on those days when I just can't get it together!
What do you think?
What's your outfit formula?
I can't wait to hear from you!
Thanks for reading!
