What Do Blouses & William H. Macy Have In Common? (and a giveaway!)

Absolutely nothing. They have nothing in common… blouses and William H. Macy, that is. Well, they could have something in common unbeknownst to me, but for the purposes of this exercise, they have nothing in common.

Anywho.

Onward and upward to today’s outfit. (And a giveaway!)

[Clutch: c/o The Pleated Poppy | Blouse: Fab’rik Chapel Hill (similar) | Jacket: Nanette Lepore (old, similar on sale!) | Skirt: LOFT (old, similar) | Boots: Cervone (old, similar) | Necklaces: c/o Stella & Dot and Fab’rik Chapel Hill | Bracelets: InPink 1, 2 & JCrew | Sunnies: Target]

I’m always looking for ways to incorporate bright colors into fall and winter outfits. I’ve discussed this idea before… because frankly, why is it that when the weather turns colder, all of a sudden everyone thinks you can only wear black or navy?

Now, don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against black or navy, but come on, people. It’s 2012. Wear what you want. And if you want to wear a bright color and it’s 40 degrees (40 Fahrenheit or 4.444 degrees Celsius for you metric system peeps) outside, so be it.

C’est la vie! Carpe diem! #YOLO! Right? Right.

So, for yesterday’s cold and dreary day part deux, I rocked my fave yellow OVI blouse and my new clutch from The Pleated Poppy, which by the way I LOVE. I have loved Lindsey’s blog forev’s and LOVE all the stuff in her shop, so I was pumped when she sent this beaut over to me. It is everything I love about a good clutch and, thus, I will be using it ALL fall. And winter. And spring. And summer. Because it’s bright. And roomy. And practical. And awesome.

Take that, S.A.D.

Also, because Lindsey is even more awesome than I already thought she was, she’s offering still being [molly] readers a pretty sweet giveaway! Check it out below.

  21. I have been looking for an infinity scarf and there are some great ones on this website. It is hard to decide between anchors, houndstooth and chevron for a pattern though!

  27. You look so adorable in your bright yellow! And I love the pops of turquoise. Absolutely rock any color you want – I will totally be wearing my coral stuff all winter, especially with burgundy!

    Love The Pleated Poppy! I love her e-reader cases, but I like the turquoise damask fabric, so I’d have to go with the wristlet clutch in that. 😉

  30. Yep, this is a great outfit. I love the tights. My favourite thing about fall clothes is wearing tights and boots with dresses. There’s just something so cozy about tights.

  38. Molly, I totally agree. Cold weather doesn’t have to mean bright colors have to go away! I will be wearing my summer brights all throughout fall and winter 🙂 I love this outfit and the touch of mint is perfect.

  61. I almost bought that clutch. I decided on the black and mustard one instead. I think I looked at them everday trying to figure out if I wanted a bright wristlet or one that looked more like fall. I cannot believe how much stuff it can hold!

  63. Dude, you had me actually thinking about this, what DO blouses and William Macy have in common? You tease, you!,

    I am loving how your photographs have been looking lately, did you get a new camera or something? Seriously, they are stunning, I love the light quality you’re getting in them, they look very vintage! Anyways, I really like your “arm party” you’ve got going on, those leather bracelets are really pretty. And this combination of the yellow blouse, the skirt and those brown boots is so lovely and classic looking. 🙂
