Goodwill Glamorous - Be Bold Color Edition

I decided I really needed some color in my wardrobe!
Not that I don't buy colors, guess I was a scaredy cat about mixing them.
My 'go to' outfits for work are my black and gray; easy, classic.
So this week is a bit different with styles that are stepping out of my comfort zone.
Since stalking, What I Wore Wednesday and the Color Brigade; I'm styling color!
As always, most of my outfits are thrifted from Goodwill.
Thursday - Work day
Yep, dirty mirror and all.  Hey, I'm chasing a 3 year old now.
Greenish Blouse (not blue), Ann Taylor LOFT, Goodwill - $2.19
Pale yellow lace trim tank, AT LOFT, Goodwill - 99 cents
Kasper Khaki slacks, Goodwill - $4.59

Multi color bead necklace, Kohls (on sale) - $5.99

I didn't like this blouse when I wore it several months ago, but LOVED it with the scarf as a belt.
I also tossed on a Purple cardi with this because I was cool at the office.  See Sunday's outfit for cardi.
Friday - Casual day at work
My most daring color outfit yet!
Since Friday's are jeans day for most of the office, I figured my boss might not pass out when the always Miss Professional 'Proper' donned a wild array of colors.  I felt SASSY in this outfit and it received several compliments.  On my lunch hour, I was in Target picking up a birthday present and was stopped by a total stranger about this get'up.

  5. Thanks ladies! That silk scarf was an awesome score. Just long enough to go around me twice. I hope I can find other ways to style it too, but it's kind of a stiff fabric.

  11. I love all of your outfits! Blue looks so good on you! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Last Friday I did a fabric flower post. You should make them, you would love them! And with your fabulous GW finds you would really do well. I use old t-shirts for my fabric.

  12. Thanks for checking out my blog! I really love that first blouse with the scarf belt (yes, it's a bit colorful for my style, but it works great on you!). :) I'm also seriously impressed with your thrifting skills!!!

    Great idea layering the blue button-up blouse with the white top. It really works, especially with that necklace.
