Spring Wishlist

Details:

Striped Tee / Polka Dot Shirt / Vest / Loafers / Jeans / Tote / Scarf

Hi everyone!! I can't believe it's been so long since my last blog post. What have I been doing you ask? Absolutely nothing; I just decided to unplug for a while. It's been a nice break but now I'm happy to be back to chat with you all.

Anyhoo, I've had a strong urge to do a little Spring shopping and these pieces from J Crew Factory have definitely caught my eye. You can create many different looks with these versatile pieces. But I'm really trying hard to not shop and if I buy another striped shirt my hubby just may kill me. So far, I've purchased the tote and I would really like to purchase the vest and floral scarf. I see these being staples in my Spring wardrobe.

Getting Ready for Spring

Outfit Details:

Dress: New Look / Denim jacket: Gap / Tote: Longchamp / Shoes: Steve Madden / Earrings: Aldo / Necklace: Jeweliq / Bangles: Alicia Marilyn

Guess what? Spring is almost here! In just a few more weeks we'll be basking in warmer weather. No more boots and heavy coats, I for one, can't wait! I've already started putting together some outfits for Spring. Today, I'm featuring an outfit I'm planning for a weekend getaway with my hubby. Maxi dresses are so easy to style and denim jackets are a perfect layering piece for the cool early Spring weather. This dress is super affordable and can be worn throughout the Spring and Summer. I can't wait for the days when I can wear outfits like this one...

Floral Maxi

Hello All! Hope everyone had an amazing holiday weekend! I sure did; I enjoyed a lot of relaxing with my hubby, spent some quality time with my family and in-laws, attended a baby shower and squeezed in a little shopping too. Indeed, it was a fun filled weekend! I've been on vacation and patiently waiting to start my new job at a new school. So my apologies for being m.i.a.

I wore this floral maxi to attend a backyard bbq/baby shower on Saturday. The weather was painfully hot so this easy, breezy dress was perfect. I bought this dress about two years ago (maybe longer) on sale from Banana Republic and  i'm still in love with it. I kept my accessories simple: stacked silver bangles, silver hoop earrings and flats. Maxi's are a perfect solution for casual parties and so easy to style.

Dress: Banana Republic 

Shoes: Fendi 

Earrings: Charter Club via Macy's 

Bracelets: Banana Republic 

I also attended a wedding the previous weekend and wore a floral maxi dress. This dress was a bit more dressy and very appropriate for a summer wedding. I again kept the look simple and accessorized with gold chandelier earrings, gold stacked bangles, and peep toe heels. Unfortunately, I did not get any full length shots but wanted to share a quick photo of my look.

Thanks for reading and enjoy your week!

Playing with Patterns

Hello All! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! Today, I played with patterns by pairing stripes with floral and leopard. I wear a lot of stripes, one of many obsessions, so I try to mix up my looks by combining a pop of color or patterns. I loved the way my black & white henley popped with the purple pants. The floral scarf tied the look together with the hints of purple in the scarf.

Wardrobe Remix: Green Gingham

Hello All! Hope everyone is having a great week so far. Today, I'm participating in Franish's 5 Days, 5 Ways Challenge to show you how I plan on remixing my green gingham shirt.  As I mentioned before, I absolutely love gingham and I recently purchased this green one at Old Navy. I've been looking for a gingham shirt in green  for a long time to add to my collection so I am super excited about these outfits. Here are three different ways that I will be wearing my new shirt.

Look 1:

Who says you can't wear floral with gingham. A gingham shirt paired with a floral scarf is a fun way to play with pattern.

Boyfriend Jeans: Banana Republic (old)

Scarf: Target (old)

Flats: Nine West Factory (old)

Bracelet: J Crew Factory, Forever 21

Look 2:

Look 2 features one of my favorite color combos: green and pink! It's a super casual look with a splash of color.

Ankle Skinny Jeans: Banana Republic (old)

Belt: J Crew (old)

Necklace: J Crew (old)

Flats: J Crew (on sale)

Look 3:

And last but not least, Look 3. I must say, this look was my favorite of the three. I love green with navy, truthfully I love anything with navy, and I love how polished I looked. This outfit is perfect for work, you can just substitute the jeans for a great pair of trousers.

Which look is your favorite?

Blazer: Banana Republic (old)

Jeans: Seven for All Mankind (old)

Purple, Stripes & Floral

There's a lot going on with this outfit but somehow it works. Well, atleast in my mind it did. My amazing hubby surprised me with this awesome purple (my favorite color) peacoat from J Crew. He said he picked it up as a christmas gift but couldn't wait to give it to me since he knew I would love it. I was so excited, I think I made have did a happy dance!! Of course, I started wearing it immediately and you would be surprised how versatile it is. Today, I paired it with a gray striped shirt (this is becoming a pattern), beige cords, a floral scarf, cognac ballet flats and a simple necklace. The entire outfit is from J Crew, minus the scarf which is Target.
