It’s Tee & Cardi Time

I don’t know about you but I am loving Style Perspectives day with The Blended Blog. Today our prompt is from Christy who blogs at RSquared. Her prompt idea is a perfectly casual look with a tee + cardigan + statement necklace. I can be found in this type of look on a regular basis and totally love it.

But today is different. So here’s what I have you today. I thought I would use the prompt to create something I could wear in my new work environment. This is what happened.

And how do you know it’s Spring in Texas? Windy weather! Witness the sequence of events of a windy day photo shoot. What we wouldn’t give to have a breeze in July and August!

And Deena this one is for you because our roses are blooming. Enjoy, friend!

And here’s all of our looks from last week’s prompt with our spring sweaters. Pretty colors and textures abound!

14 bloggers each picked a look that defined their personal style.
The featured blogger on the Blended Blog showcases her signature style (the prompt for that day) and then the other bloggers (on their personal blogs) show how they interpret it.
Make sure you stop by the Blended Blog to see the featured lady.
Please link up on the Blended Blog to show us how you would wear the prompt!

    Hello Springtime sweetie!! I knew you'd rock this look!! Love that pattern of the cardi and sleek gray pants are some of my favorite to wear to work! So pretty!
  • It's like you read my mind...I was looking at the pretty trees in the wind blowing sequence and then thought..hope there are some flower pictures. Back to the subject on hand, your beautiful pearls. Can't wait to see your work outfits again, you so classy!
  • Christy
    Lookin' good carrie - i love you you took the look to an office environment by just subbing out the jeans.

    Not on purpose but I love how themed I am with you ladies, today. I am even wearing a very similar gray leopard cardigan hahhhaa. You should stop by and check it out. You look great Carrie. Welcome by and linkup with me tomorrow, also. Thanks, Ada. =)

    Love the pearls - and so jealous of your flowers:) We just got rid of snow!
  • This is such a pretty, put-together work look! I love pearls for instantly adding glam to any look. And all your windy out-takes were too cute :)
  • Lanae Bond
    That is cute cardigan. The pearl necklace is a nice touch!
  • Great look! I really like the cardigan with the pearls!
  • Love the way you have the cardi buttoned!!! Much easier for me to button from the top than the bottom up. Hope you are enjoying the new job. Ya sure look put together.
  • Beautiful! I LOVE that cardigan - the banding on the arms and bottom is so pretty. Can't wait to see you tomorrow!
  • You look so pretty! And, I know what you mean about windy days - I always forget and wear lip gloss and my hair ends up stuck to my face - makes for lovely pictures. I think we should start a blooper link up - we all have them. Lisa Daily Style Finds
  • lol about the wind!! too funny I love that cardi on you, it really does seem like a "Carrie" look! Simply Shaunacey
  • I love the border on the bottom and the ends of the sleeves! I think they give the cardigan a unique and pretty touch. I hope that you are having safe travels today! Can't wait to hear about your trip!
