Ellipsis




What I Wore:
Shoes: Payless - $20
Skirt: Target - $16
Belt: Target - $6
Tank: Target - $15
Cardigan: Forever21 - $17
Necklace: Amazon - $43
Bow earrings: Target - $4

I'm trying to make a greater effort to wear everything in my closet and get rid of the things that I don't wear.
No excuses.
I can't believe that this cardigan has been hanging in my closet since this summer...and I've barely worn it! I'm not trying to make excuses or anything, but black and white items are my comfort zone--they're a perfect foundation for any outfit! However, I get very intimidated by it because I'm always trying to wear it new ways. At some point, I've just got to get over it and wear it, am I right?

Linking up with Marionberry Style's Trend of the Month and Third Thursday Threads with Work Clothes I Suppose.

PS: Did you get my title?

XO,

I'm wearing black and white today too! But unlike you, I didn't jazz it up with pattern mixing or a bright pop of color. This outfit is a total win.

Whitney said...

COBALT! I love the mix. I also love how put together but effortless this looks. Just lovely!

Whitney said...

Thank you for this style inspiration! I have a similar cardigan (beige with black polka dots) that I can never bring myself to wear. Every time I put it on, I take it off right before I leave the house! It just feels like too much. I'll try it with black and ONE pop of color, and see how that works.

Whitney said...

I'm the same way. I also go through phases where I wear the same ten items over and over again like they're the only ones in my closet, and it's like, "Oh yeah, I do actually have other clothes." I need the weather to get warmer. My wardrobe is so limited during winter.

I love this!! Wear this cardigan more - it's amazing! Hope you'll be linking up with this, or some of your other amazing dots, tomorrow!

Whitney said...

I LOVE this outfit! That sweater is seriously adorable, you should definitely wear it more!

Whitney said...

That's a good cardi. Keep working with it. :) I've been ignoring my cardi's lately in favor of blazers. Must share the love!

Whitney said...

I like the cardi, the dots are so cute!

Whitney said...

Yup! And it looks really cute here. Great outfit!!

Whitney said...

Ugh, you are too cute for your own good! I LOVE this outfit! The mix of black and white with blue is just fantastic.


I'm trying to wear everything in my closet as well - it can be hard! I often go in phases with my clothes where I'll latch onto a few favorite pieces and cycle them for a few weeks, while forgetting about everything else in my closet. I'm trying so hard not to do that right now, ha!

Whitney said...

If you're giving me permission, I will definitely be linking with this! I worried that it wasn't a "new" post for tomorrow. :) I can't wait to see everyone's dots tomorrow!

Whitney said...

I love this! I'm working on wearing everything in my closet. I've still got some way to go; it's only making me TRULY realize how I really don't need anything new.. and how many shopping mistakes I've made. I like that you bit the bullet and wore this cardigan-- it's too cute not to!

It's a crime to keep a cute cardi like that in your closet for so long! It looks great on you :)

Whitney said...

Agreed. I need to pull it out of my closet a little more often!

Whitney said...

Exactly! That's how I am feeling now, as well. I've gotten rid of a lot because I'm finally coming to grips with what I truly wear and what I'm just hanging onto!

Whitney said...

Aw, Brynn! You're so sweet. :)
I do the exact same thing. I wear a piece of clothing and piece together multiple ways to wear it...and then I wear it until I run out of ideas! I need to think of some better ways to break out this cardigan. :)

Whitney said...

Glad you agree. :)

Whitney said...

Isn't it a fabulous cardigan? It goes with so much!

Whitney said...

I will definitely keep it in the outfit rotation. I love blazers on you! You look so polished and professional!

Whitney said...

I completely agree--I should wear it a lot more often! :)

Whitney said...

muahaha! Done! :)

Whitney said...

Yes! Ha! I do that! :) I think I should have some kind of blogger habits link up...so we can see what traits we all share!

Whitney said...

So glad it inspired you! :) I want to wear more daring outfits with it...I just sit on them for some reason!

Whitney said...

Thanks, Kate! I love cobalt, too! For some reason, I typically think of it with greys or tans, but I really like it with the black and white! Simple rules sometimes!

Whitney said...

Woo! Go us! We're on some kind of similar wavelength lately...!

Whitney said...

Really beautiful! Love the top under the sweater and how the lacey polka dots play with your sweater polka dots, lovely. Perhaps we could follow each other?
