Purple and Gold Homecoming

I'm heading to my hometown soon for Homecoming. My nieces will be marching in the parade and I'll be going to the football game for a mini-class reunion (I will NOT tell you how many years!!) Since I'll be seeing so many people I know,  I'm feeling the pressure to find a great outfit.

Thankfully, our colors are purple and gold (mustard) and those colors are definitely in season. I'm hoping it will be a little bit cool that night for the game so I'm opting for a long-sleeve shirt, jeans, a scarf, and booties.


Which look is your favorite?

 

1. Yellow Stripe Shirt via JC Penney // 2. Purple Infinity Scarf via Target // 3. Boyfriend Jeans via ASOS

 

 

1. Skinny Jeans via Target // 2. Plaid Shirt via JC Penney // 3. Mustard Scarf via ModCloth

 

 

 

Which booties would you pick?

 

 

 

(I wasn't able to alter the photo size past the first 2 photos. This happens often, so if any of you Blogger users know a trick for it, please let me know!)

  

 

1. Black Studded Booties via 6pm // 2. Casual Black Bootie via Target // 3. Tiny Stud Bootie via Aeropostale 

 

Coral Sheath Dress and a Chunky Statement Necklace

 

Dress: Liz Claiborne via JC Penney - similar, similar / Necklace: via Cato - similar, similar /Earrings: via Bealls Outlet - similar, similar / Ring: via Bealls Outlet - almost exact, similar / Heels: Janine Pointy Toe Pump via Payless - exact, similar

  

 

Do you ever build an outfit around a certain piece? I have been building outfits around this amazing gold necklace at least once a week. A statement necklace can take an everyday sheath dress to the next level and make it something to be remembered, especially when it's as bold and colorful as this one.

 

The breakdown:

 

Dress - JC Penney, $20

Necklace - Cato, (gift)

Heels - Payless, $25

Earring and Ring Set - Bealls Outlet, $5

My fashion philosophy includes buying pieces that can be used multiple ways. When shopping, I try to keep in mind what I already have so I don't repeat a same style or color too many times. This is why you see (old) so often in my outfit descriptions. I hope you'll take a look at the other options I include in the description. A lot of the time I actually like what I list there better than what I am wearing! I really love the Garnet and Gold sequin blouse from JC Penney. I was so sad they didn't have that color in my size anymore. I also love the Madden-Girl strappy gold heels I listed via ShopStyle. I need to find an excuse to buy those. But let's get real... I never need an excuse to buy shoes!!
