I picked this little fur scarf/wrap/shawl-thingy at H&M on a whim a while back, and I swear I can’t stop wearing it.  It adds just a little something extra to so many of my jackets.  If I have time this weekend, I’ll try to do a roundup of all of my favorite items to pair it with for your viewing pleasure.

Armed with a Macy’s gift card I received for my birthday a while back (thanks, Mom!), I made a beeline for the clearance rack and quickly unearthed this gem.  The flouncy skirt and bold floral pattern make this such a fun little frock to wear.  Season-agnostic dresses like these are the real workhorses of my wardrobe.  They make me look perfectly put-together in spring and summer with just a cute pair of sandals or pumps.  As the weather turns cool, I can just add a cardigan or blazer and a pair of thick tights.

I’m always on the hunt for the perfect black skirt to wear to the office, and this one caught my eye because of the asymmetrical hemline.  I love, love, love how it hangs a few inches lower in the back!  For any of you ladies with a little extra junk in the trunk, I can’t recommend this skirt enough!  The contrasting white waistband and lining also added a nice graphic touch and played quite nicely with my blouse.

Speaking of this blouse… I must have purchased it for under $20 at least 4 years ago, and it’s still going strong.  I used to have another one just like it in navy blue and cream, and I could just kick myself for getting rid of it!  Don’t you just hate it when you toss an item, only to realize you still want it later?
