do you go through phases every few weeks or months where you have a favorite outfit you've worn and you feel like nothing else you put together will match how great you felt in that outfit?  i skimmed through my 2015 archives to try to find the last outfit i remember feeling that great in and it was probably this outfit with my merona fit and flare dress, pink and yellow floral scarf, and hot pink belt!

however, today's outfit may creep forward to take that spot.  despite my unruly hair (no one believes me, but the humidity is just as bad in minnesota as it was when i lived in georgia!), i loved how this outfit came together - this old navy dress will be a winner for years to come and the violet-colored button-down complemented it so nicely.  i loved those two colors next to each other, especially with the coordinating belt that pulls them together as well as the tan shoes.

it sounds a bit like i'm tooting my own horn, but i guess this whole blog is about that!  haha.  i love outfits that are coordinated and cohesive and that is the feeling i was left with here.  thanks for visiting!

my outfit combinations are definitely inspired by anything and everything... today's was inspired by a singer i saw on the voice recently who was wearing a navy blue suit and a black button-down underneath it.  i thought, hey, navy & black look really sharp together!  enter in my new favorite jeans and a new blouse that just came in the mail!  i also commend myself for wearing these leopard print flats that have been gathering dust since january.  apparently wearing animal print doesn't come as easily to me as other prints like florals or stripes because i just haven't known what to wear them with.  it felt more natural when i added the necklace of the same hue.  and the shoes ended up being pretty apt as the day i wore this, an organization brought a bunch of exotic animals to showcase at my nursing home... the baby fox was pretty cute but i'm a-okay that i missed seeing the snake!
