What We Wore 11.16.11

What Grace Wore: Black cotton/lycra ruched and embellished blouse by Trina Turk over a basic black tank with winter white wide leg trousers by Express. Bronze leather satchel by Talbots, black patent sling-backs by 9 West. Jewelry: Bracelet from the Smithsonian African Art museum shop that is a take off on an iron belt of a Cameroon tribe, animal print glass beaded necklace by Jessica Buchtel, Artist, and costume dangle earrings from some big-box store.

Where: Church

What Melissa Wore: Navy blazer and ruffled white blouse from Loft (last season) and trouser jeans from 7 for All Mankind. Shoes are wedges from Target. I picked up this blazer last year on the clearance rack and with an additional 50% sale, I paid only $8! Boy, have I gotten my money’s worth on that!! The jeans were purchased on a flash sale site and I wear these shoes at least 3 times a week. I wish I could go back in time and buy them in black too!

Where: Church

What Jo-Lynne Wore: The magenta modal/polyester top is from Banana Republic, and the black poncho/cape top is from the LOFT Outlet. These black corduroys are Sevens, and they’re such a fine wale corduroy that they almost feel like velvet. They are very stretchy and comfy and soft. (They’re similar to these, but I got mine on a 40% off sale last winter. WOOT!) I wore black patent pointy-toe flats from Nine West, and chunky hoop earrings were my only jewelry.

Where: To continue with a theme, Church!

What Nicole Wore: admiral military coat c/o shopkempt, ruffle dress from h&mblack tights from h&m, black booties from target (similar style). This coat from ShopKempt is one of my new favorites. The flirty pleats with brass buttons are the perfect combination. And I love pairing navy with black.

About Grace {Blackbelt Oma}

Grace has a blackbelt in shopping, but not taekwon-do. She is keenly aware of God having given us the guardianship of the earth and supports responsible farming, distribution and consumerism.

She plans to write posts that would be of particular interest to the East Asian, and/or the 50-ish and/or the over-25 BMI crowd. Not that she'd know anything about that.
