OOTD- Is This Over Yet?

Is the color blocking trend over with yet?? If it is, then I am horribly out-of-date because these new purple pants of mine where begging to be paired with my green blazer. We all went out for a night of girl time and drinking at Shecky's last night and we had lots of fun.

Do you tend to dress trendy or classic? Do you like to follow what's new for the season or do you like to stick to your tried and true closet pieces? The fashion industry is a fickle beast so there's always something new to buy and try and I admit that I love to test the waters with what's trendy (as long as it works for me), but if there is one thing that's apparent, it's that what goes around comes around. What's old is new again, right? So whatever you gravitate towards, just remember to find what works for you, your lifestyle and body. But most importantly, go with what puts a smile on your face. You can't go wrong when that happens!

OOTD-Same, But Different

As I was trolling through the thrift store recently, I came across a few winning items and this was only after I tried to keep my eyes from burning at the sight of a million ugly Christmas sweaters. Seriously, where did they all come from? Do they hoard them in the back until this time of year? One such find was this super pink blazer. Pink is one of my happy colors, so I had to snatch it up, despite the fact that I already have a hot pink blazer that I found in the same thrift store last year. Is that crazy?? It needs several alterations (the shoulders are too big and the length is borderline tunic length), but yet it languished in the "to be fixed" pile and never quite made it to the tailors. The same color and it saved me some money... I'll take it!!

What's your happy color when it comes to clothes, shoes and accessories?
