Daily Outfit - 12/17/09

dailywear

I have always loved blue and orange together and was sad that I didn't have anything for the combo when it was one of September's Featured Looks for the Inspiration Calendar. I agree with Mariel that gray is a great neutral to go with the combo too. So when I spied this cardi for 35% off this past weekend I just had to grab it.

Recently Updated126

Orange Cardi - Avenue, on sale for $17.50 (Dec. 2009)
Navy Dress - Dressbarn, on sale for $26 (Sept. 2009)
Necklace - Silver Necklace from Target, $15 (June 2009) with Missoni Scarf from Loehmann's, $7 (May 2008)
Gray Belt - For Love/Forever 21, $5 (Summer 2009)
Gray Boots - Avenue, on sale for $29 (Dec. 2009)

This dress is proving to be rather versitile too - here's a look at some past ways I have styled it.

Also, if you follow my tweets you saw that I scored an all leather Longchamp bag for $22 at a consignment store yesterday. Similar bags go for $400! There are a few scratches (they look worse in the picture than they are in person) on the front that I need to see if I can work out but the lining is perfect. All-in-all a good score!

This is my favorite way you styled this dress! That scarf is the perfect finishing touch.

I really like the way you did the scarf :)

I think we have a very similar wallet.

Do you have coach leather cleaner and moisturizer? They will take the scratches out easy. My friend used to use it on her hard leather couch that the cats would scratch up and it would come right out!

Thanks, ladies!!

Hillary, my wallet is the Madison Checkbook Wallet - is that the same?

I put some of the Coach Moisturizer on the purse last night, but need to do it a few more times I think. Thanks though!

This outfit is so amazing! First of all, that navy dress was a great find, and I just LOVE navy with orange. Such a creative idea to wear the scarf as a necklace, too. From what I've read today, it seems like a lot of bloggers are just stepping it up today for some reason :)

I love all the color in this outfit! That scarf is the perfect accent

I heart this color combo. Looks great on you and that pop of color is great for the dreary winter weather.

Jo said...

I love that you let us peek inside your purse! It's like being a voyeur, seeing the inside of another person's purse!
