Remix: Cindy + Johnny Blazer

It's time for a remix! A while back, I partnered up with Cindy + Johnny to style their chic Dylan blazer - if you missed the aforementioned post, click HERE.  I loved the piece so much that I decided to re-style it today for Workwear Wednesday.  I started with a solid, neutral canvas (aka my black pencil skirt).  FYI, I bought it at Ann Taylor years ago, but you can find a skirt like this anywhere because it's a wardrobe staple. Stores like Banana Republic Factory Outlet, Talbots, and H&M carry quality versions.  

I paired my skirt with a cute but comfortable tee.  I chose animal print because I wanted my look to stand out!  Think classic with a trendy twist.  I recently purchased this top at the Banana Republic Factory Outlet - it was really hard to resist because it was on sale for $7.  Plus, I could already see myself wearing it a million different ways.  I like to visualize different ensembles in my head when shopping - it helps me save money because I only let myself buy pieces I'll wear for sure.  If I can't style an item at least 3 different ways, I won't purchase it.

Skirt:  Ann Taylor (similar)

Shoes: Candie's (similar)

Necklace: c/o Sparkles & Pop (similar)

I threw on my C+J blazer on top to keep things professional.  I know I say this all the time, but blazers really do add polish and sophistication.  To top off my look, I accessorized with my Sparkles & Pop pendant necklace and carried my Bag Inc. leather tote.  Here's a close-up shot of my accessories.  On another note, I talk about the importance of the everyday tote HERE.  Click to read my article on, "4 Bags Every Girl Must Own."
