White Out Part. 2

Happy Hump Day all!

White it is a very polarizing color, either you like it or you hate it. We’ve been told that we can’t wear white because it’s unforgiving but I reject that notion. Prior to last year, I had never wore white pants. I was conditioned to believe if I wore a pair they would make me look bigger and highlight my ample thighs. When I finally decided to buy white pants I was nervous as hell. I was deathly afraid of what people would say about me. But surprisingly I got nothing but compliments on my ALL white outfit I wore last July (here). After clearing that hurdle, I embraced wearing white on my bottom and started my search for a white pencil skirt. It didn’t take me long to find this skirt from Talbots Woman. Now my next search is for the perfect white dress!

Do you dare to wear white?

Have a wonderful day!

Spring Trends IV: Emerald Green

TGIF all and Happy Good Friday!

This is the last week of the Spring Trends challenge and the final trend on the list is emerald green. If you haven’t heard, Pantone has crowned it the color of the season (side note: Who is Pantone? Lol). I decided to end this thing with a bang and combine emerald-green with ALL the trends (black & white, floral and leather) featured in the challenge!

Please check out the other bloggers participating in the challenge for their take on emerald green:

Have a wonderful weekend and HAPPY EASTER!

Spring Transitions

Happy Hump Day all!

This time of year is always tricky for me with DST and the transition of Winter into Spring. Lemme tell ya, DST has been kicking my butt! The time change has thrown off my sleep schedule so much I’ve been dragging myself out the bed in the morning. Last night I was finally able to get a full night of sleep so I hope this is a sign my body has adjusted to the time change. We’ll see!

Now that Spring is a mere week away I so badly want to ditch my down coat and multiple layers but the lingering cold weather won’t allow it. So until the weather warms, my Winter clothes will be sticking around. My outfit today is a combination of both seasons . Representing Winter we have my opaque tights, suede flats and spotted long sleeve cardigan. In the Spring corner we have my yellow pencil skirt, floral necklace and pink belt. The outfit works because I get to feel “Springy” while keeping warm against the late Winter chill.

How do you adjust to Spring transitions?

Have a wonderful day!

Spring Trends for Under $45: The Work Edition

Happy Monday everyone!

Since everyone liked my previous Spring Trends post I decided to do another one focusing on workwear. I realize when I do these posts I neglect to include shoes, so this time I added styles that are under $45. These pieces are interchangable with one another to get maximum usage out of the clothes. Also these pieces can easily be incorporated into your current Spring/Summer wardrobe.

What additions will you be making to your Spring/Summer wardrobe?

Have a wonderful day!
