Werk it’

March 7, 2013

::Yellow Skirt J.Crew (similar here and here), Gingham Shirt J.crew, Vest (actually just a tank) J.Crew, Necklace Limited, Tights Target, Booties Madden Girl (obsessed with these beauties), Bracelet David Yurman Macys Banana Republic, Ring c/o GlamRocks (here), Sunnies c/o Firmoo (here)::

Today I’m linking up with Tara at Mix and Match Fashion for her What I Wore to Work linkup. If you follow me on instagram (@amy_cbandbp) you know I wore this about 2 weeks ago for Casual Friday. I know, I know, not so casual, but sometimes a girl just needs to “play dress up, no?”

On another note, these booties have been in and out of my donate/sell/giveaway pile for awhile. I put them in, I take them out. Put them in, take them out…. it’s a vicious cycle these booties! On this particular day I was fond of them. What do you think, keep or chuck?

Don’t forget to enter my Mary Nichol Handbag giveaway ($475.00) value! Enter HERE

**Also, don’t forget to link up for Friday’s Five HERE tomorrow!!***

    I go through the same thing with some of my articles of clothing! I'm about to toss them and I start to think "but what if I like this later?" haha not good when your closet space is already limited! Cute outfit, love the gingham with the mustard yellow!

    I love the booties, but I also love the idea of giving clothes away. I think it's liberating and obviously helpful for others. Maybe share the love and let another girl adore the booties 🙂 (But if not, don't feel bad because they aaaare super cute!)

    I love everything about this!! I think the booties complement it well. I would probably hang on to them but if it went longer than a full season of no wear, I'd donate.

    I love this look! It's a good mixture of spring colors in this awful winter weather! I like the booties, too.. but I could see how they could be hard to style once you don't need tights anymore.

    Also, just wanted to let you know that I LOVE the name of your blog. I think it is so cute and creative!

It'd be a staple in my closet. And, Amy, thanks for finding me! My other blog is http://daylilygrl.wordpress.com, I hope you'll visit me there too.

    Love the skirt and gingham! Cute bracelets too! I sometimes have the same problem, I don't wear something so it just site there, then I give it away or sell it at Plato's Closet, then once in a while regret it. So, I'm really no help in deciding if you should keep the shoes or not, sorry 🙂
