Borrowed Belts

 Funny Faces Monday

This is my contemplative face.

Headless and therefore faceless.

 On Monday I went for what is right now a very trendy look: a cardigan with a skinny belt over it.  I have seen this look pop up at the Gap and J. Crew, and the instant I tried it myself I knew why it is so popular.  I really like the shape it gave me.  In order to stay away from the boring I went for colorful with my purple cardigan and my teal shoes.  I borrowed my mother's double wrap around belt to achieve my look.  So as not to be naked at the office, I put my cardigan over my basic black dress.  I really liked the simple silhouette of this outfit, but also that it was not too muted.

This is my suspicious face.

This is my whaaaaat face?

Fall Tuesday

Its been cold and raining on and off for the last few days, so today I planned my outfit around one of my warmer sweaters.  I bought this sweater years ago off the sale rack at Maribel.  I really like the different patterns and colors of this sweater.  Because this sweater has so much going on, I paired it with all black underneath.  I wore my black J. Crew cords and my gifted Gap shirt from Stormy Normy.  Because this shirt is pretty flowy, I belted it with my marm's orange J. Crew belt.  To give myself some height I wore gray BR heels.  I always convince myself these heels are not as uncomfortable as I remember, but they are!!!  Still I loved the way they looked with this outfit! To combat the rain, I broke out a hat that my friend Nutter Butter made me for my birthday in college.  I love the red color and the floral detailing of this hat.  It even got complimented by a rando on the bus!!!
