The basics....

 
 
 
Sometimes what you need isn't that one of a kind piece you've been drooling over, but a few staple items. In my case anyways I've been in need of a few. I never really think about staple items until I go to put something together and I don't have the right cami etc...I definitely don't have adequate Tee's or casual shirts.
 
I've been interviewing and wouldn't you know that the place I'm pretty sure is going to hire me is casual to work wear as it's in farming retail accounts. The entire place wears farming gear.
 
target.com has free shipping of order $50.00 or more. I'm usually not a big target fan because I cannot ever find anything IN store that works for my body for some reason. But I gave the online store a shot and we shall see. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that I couldn't find a size chart and the sizes for plus are 1,2,3,4. I guessed that I'm a 2 from previous thrift finds I believe said 2. Let's hope!
 
These items I feel I can be casual at work and still professional looking if not plain Jane haha...
 
I thought the plaid shirt would be cute with Dark skinny jeans and distressed work boots!

Modern & Edgy (for me)



I'm in LOVE with this seller homako.etsy.com on etsy. She makes wonderful, modern felt & fabric, wood jewelry. I ordered this black wooden triangle necklace and I am so thrilled. Wonderful attention to detail and beautiful craftsmanship. The packaging was really cute too!! So I paired my new necklace with a thrifted yummy sand color top that I paid maybe $1.99 for. I really like this outfit. I feel modern and edgy with the simple color palette and the edgy accessories. I'm loving my zip ankle crops from Fashion bug and I think it helps add to the modern feel of this outfit.  It's super comfortable and a fashion inspiration taken from fashionHayley.com. Check out her blog if you get a chance. I have admired how she adds bold accessories to a neutral color palette for some time and wanted to try it myself.
