This blouse is one of my favorites. The tie-neck and beading on the shoulder add fun detail to a very versatile top. And the pencil skirt is a bright pop of color and print.

 

My goal when shopping lately has been to find interesting, colorful skirts to go with my basic solid blazers. My outfits needs to be professional for work but that doesn't mean they have to be dull or boring.

 

Hi there!

A little about me: My name is not Ginger but I am a ginger. I am not a size 2 or even a 10; I am curvy and do not apologize for it. I think the outfits I wear work well on all shapes, sizes, and ages. I get a lot of inspiration from Pinterest, blogs, catalogs, etc. If I closely follow another's outfit I will do my best to include the photo and source.

I work in a very professional atmosphere so most of my outfits will reflect that. You will see very quickly that I am a huge pencil skirt and high heels fan! I love a BARGAIN!! I strongly believe you can have a fabulous outfit without spending a lot of money, it just takes a little bit of work searching out the best deals.

I want to hear from you! Do you love it? Do you hate it? Do you have a suggestion or a question? I will do my best to reply as quickly as I can to your comments.
