Easy outfit when you don't want to get out of bed

I really love this shirt/sweater combo. It's one of my go-tos when I can't think of anything to wear, but I still want what I like to call a "creative" outfit. The contrast of the blue and purple is fun. I also love wearing those slimming black pants with just about anything. They make me feel thinner and longer. And you can't go wrong with a pair of comfy loafers, right?

Colorize

Wow, I still look really tired in these pics. Sorry. I tried to jazz it up a bit more today, maintaining the whole color idea. Color=acessory=colorize. Ha! I need to get more sleep.
My favorite thing about this outfit is that every piece was under $20.

When all else fails...

I have felt really tired lately. The winter is finally starting to take its toll on me, which is why I am posed so badly and why I feel like I am in an outfit rut. When I get home from work, I am usually too tired to do anything let alone plan out a cute outfit. I still like this outfit even though it is somewhat casual. To take care of my outfit rut I wore some of my favorite colors together: red and blue. I also have been trying to accesorize more.

One of my favorite pieces of jewelry is my Black hills gold ring from South Dakota. The gold comes in this light green and red, which makes it very unique. (Anniversary gift from the beau.) Also there is an investment piece in this outfit that costs more than I usually tend to spend. Can you guess which item it is?
