OOTD- Confetti Fun Like the Party Cake

Do you love khaki? It conjures up images of a uniform to me, especially since I had to wear them when I volunteered at a museum once and at a part-time gig ages ago complete with a badge and name tag. My bf jokes that we should dress up in our khakis one day, find a red shirt to match and play tricks on the staff and patrons of Target. I can totally see him getting us busted by acting crazy on the store intercom system asking for price checks on things that don't exist.

Since buying this skirt earlier this year, I've only worn it a few times. Besides being a wrinkle monster, I've been trying to rack my brain and figure out how to make it less of a standard issue item. I figured I would ground it with some black, then I layered on some jewelry and added a touch of color. I'm rather certain I wouldn't be mistaken for a Tar-jay team member in this ensemble.



Outfit Details:
Black tee- American Apparel
Blazer- Jones of New York (thrifted)
Khaki skirt- Zara
Pink patent belt- J Crew
Black pumps- Taryn by Taryn Rose
Black handbag-??? (some Italian brand)

    Whooooa, the blazer is amazing! And I have the same aversion to khaki -- it reminds me a little too much of uniforms! But I think pairing it with a bold piece like the blazer certainly helps to not make it look like you work at Target, haha!

    What I wouldn't give to see pics of you two hamming it up in Target colors in the store. *lol* They've definitely ruined tan khakis in some regards.

    @ Rosa and Lilly- Glad you guys enjoy the bag eye candy. :) I have a slight problem resisting the pretty bags.

    @ amy kelinda- Glad you like the blazer. I love a colorful tweed and just couldn't leave this in the store. :)

    @ gigi- I hope my bf doesn't read this because it might encourage him to actually do it, lol. Good thing I don't own a red polo!
