Mom Wear to Work Wear: Red Turtleneck (and My Favorite Thrifted Item).
I haven't done a Mom to Work post since the first Monday of February and today is the last Monday of March (how did this month pass by)? Well, I have remixed several pieces into my casual and work wardrobes but haven't had time to photograph or blog all of them. The 2 Outfits today feature the same Red (mock) Turtleneck. These Thin Turtlenecks are perfect to layer with. Though these Outfits are both a little older, it is cold enough to wear either of these today. Let's look at each outfit below, detailed.
Like I said, a Jersey or Light Cotton Turtleneck is perfect to layer with and keep your neck warm during those cold months. For the Mom Look I bundled up with my Marled, Open Cardigan Belted with a Brown Floral Belt, Velvet Polka Dot Leggings, Knee-High Socks and Fur-trimmed Boots. And I also wore this Gorgeous, Pearl-trimmed Pom-Pom Beanie Hat. It is the only time I have worn this Beanie this past Winter (from what I recall). It is warm, snuggly, cozy and cute and I got it for a steal of a deal, 6 bucks or so. Now, for the Work Look I copied myself since I did a second version of this Pinterest-inspired Look. I wore the same Leopard Skirt and paired it with the same Denim Jacket but instead of a black turtleneck I wore my red one, instead of black tights I wore my burgundy ones. As far as accessories: I opted for a tone-on-tone look with a Red Statement Necklace (instead of a Long Beaded Necklace which I did last time) and my Color-Blocked Olive Green Flat Oxfords (instead of the Black Booties with the previous outfit).
Last but not least, some Honorable mention goes to this Denim Jacket which I thrifted a year ago last Spring. It is only my second thrifted item and it was brand-new with tags. It is from H&M and it retailed for 40 bucks but I got it just for 10$. I have worn it at least 20 times (not all outfits blogged). It is the perfect item to link with Lauren, Jen and Laura for the Thrifty Link-up they currently have going. What do you think of these Outfits? Have you paired a Leopard Pencil Skirt with a Denim Jacket before?

You are truly a style chameleon, Ada! For me, turtle neck is a hard piece to pull off, yet you do it effortlessly

I love it that you added some fun items to the mom wear. Mine are usually pretty boring. And I think a denim jacket goes with everything and looks especially good with the leopard skirt. ~Cynthia
ReplyDeleteLove your leopard print skirt, goes well with the denim jacket. Like how you;ve used a belt over the cardi to show off your shape.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute pom pom hat! Love how you paired turtleneck with the animal print skirt!

Even though I don't work anymore, these are some of my favorite posts you do. I just love both of these looks, the mom one is so fun, stylish and playful and the work one is really cute, too and would even work for going out.
ReplyDeleteAda,
