Nothing Rhymes with Purple

I work in an office Monday - Friday. I do PR and Marketing for a local non profit. Like most offices we have a dress code, so I'm always trying to find fun appropriate clothes to wear.

To compensate and still be able to wear clothes I love, I wear scarves quite often to cover my neckline, especially if my tops are low cut at all. When I'm trying to look professional, low cut shirts don't agree with my body. 

I look grumpy, but I promise I was in a good mood and having a blast :)

Today's outfit was office appropriate and perfectly encompassed my style. A black scarf, comfy leopard print sweater from TJ Maxx, a Forever 21 black skirt, black tights and purple Mossimo wedge booties from Plato's Closet purchased for $8.

I could easily loosen this outfit up by taking off the scarf and tucking the sweater into my skirt. It seems like a totally different outfit here. It has an edgier look, maybe for grabbing a cocktail with friends.

And are you as in love with these booties as I am?? They are a solid jewel tone, so I can pair them with many different things. I especially like this look to balance out the leopard print, but I've also paired them with a solid pant and another jewel tone top, like royal blue.
