Que Bella – Origami/Glitter and a Tippi

Here are some OOTDs from last week. The first is from Wednesday where it was still 80 degrees outside. This was perfect for our outdoor dinner that night at a local pizza restaurant (outdoor seating only). The shoes were a great casual match for this skirt.

By Friday we had received a shift in temps and layering was required. Oh, how I wanted to wear boots and a scarf but even though it was chilly outside the sun was out trying to make you warm. We had a dinner that evening and Husband’s boss’s house so I added my Bella blazer to keep warm that night.

Shirt: Boy shirt in Quincy Tartan (tried on here)
Jeans: GAP Essential
Shoes: Cece Ballet Flats in Sapphire (Shoes-day here)

Blazer: J Crew Bella in Riviera Blue

Question for all you “Bella” owners out there…How do you keep your collar to stay up? Mine is sort of in-between and sometimes one side is up and the other is down. Do you steam it or lay something on it with the collar up?

Have a Great day! I’ll have some J Crew in-store reviews posted tomorrow.

    Totally jealous of your weather!!!

    That mini is just perfect on you. I also bought the grape Tippi and can't wait to wear it. Truth be told, I have the purple, black, green and leopard! I love the classic style of the sweater and want to now pick up a plaid shirt to layer under! Thank you!

    I wish it were 80 degrees here! Nice outfits, you do layering very well.

    I have two wool Bellas. I have long hair and when I wear the collars up I have my hair down so I think my hair helps hold them up if that makes any sense. They do stay up better when the jacket is buttoned up as well. I'm so sensitive to wool though, most often I keep the collar down unless I have am wearing a turtleneck or a scarf underneath.
