Memo 184: Little Blue Riding Hood

Yup, I sure did dust this H&M cobalt blue coat off and wear it again. Look at how rich the color is against this black and white Club Monaco dress! I'm pretty much cobalt blue slaying on the way to grandmother's house.

I still love a look with a good pop of color. It adds a little drama that can take a look from ordinary to extraordinary. Pops can be added with simple accessories like a nice piece of arm candy all the way down to a bold statement making shoe.

A couple of updates and reminders for you!

Memo 102: Feeling a Little Blue

For the last look, I am featuring a little monochromatic mixed print with a boost of color. You all know how I feel about cobalt blue.

So, if you were to ask my friends about my arrival time to events, they may or may not say that I can sometimes, not all the time, be a little bit tardy. It's just that I try to do too much before I leave the house. 

For instance, I'll have one hour before I need to arrive somewhere which includes a 30-minute drive to the location. In my mind, I can completely do my hair, paint my nails, fold the laundry, wash the dishes, Facebook surf and get dressed in the remaining 30 minutes. Yes, I'm ambitious and totally wrong!

Two things...

Number one, I lost my mind in H&M, recently. Hence, the reason why almost every article of clothing that I am wearing is from H&M.

Number two, I love this hairstyle! Apparently, I like hair on top of my head.

When I saw this coat and jacket, I immediately loved the patterns together. And yes, I used the jacket as my shirt. That actually happened.

Coat: H&M, Pants: J. Crew, Sunglasses: H&M

Jacket: H&M, Necklace: H&M

Clutch: Nneka Saran, Shoes: Stella McCartney

Two words: COBALT. BLUE!

If you follow me on Instagram (@thewerkplace), you'll see that I've recently become obsessed with this color blue. It like tickles my insides a little when I see it.

And now added to my obsession list is CIRCLES! I just thought that is was a mere coincidence that I had a few circle inspired pieces in my closet here but no I'm clinically obsessed with them!

Here's what you get when my two obsessions procreate and give birth:

Coat: H&M, Top: Madewell, Skirt: French Connection

Bag: Gucci, Shoes: Kate Spade, Necklace: ASOS
