How to wear colored denim and Five for Friday

Colored denim- it's been in and out of my closet and life over the last ten years. I've had green jeans and hot pink jeans. Colored denim or bright pants seem to have a renewed interest this spring so I added a pair of Old Navy Mid-rise pop color Rockstars in coral pink to my closet.

My favorite Spring pants are these Old Navy Harper pants. I bought these last year and I didn't get as much wear as I would have liked, but they are strong in the rotation this year.  They are back in stock and available again this year. I did size up a good bit when I bought them. I've been styling them more on the casual side, but they would make a great work pant if you have a more business casual environment. They are just a tad too short to be appropriate for my office. At least that's my opinion. No one has ever said we could not wear "cropped pants"; I just don't think the vibe is right for my office. We definitely can't wear capris.  Who wears capris anymore, anyway? 

I love this color for spring. These pants are also a heavier weight which makes them a good choice for the cooler spring temps. I definitely can't wear them during our summers. 

Hope you are having a great week!

Stripes, florals and second guesses

Do you ever second guess your outfit choice? or maybe the pieces? I love all of these pieces and was venturing out to put them together for one of the GYPO Spring Challenge prompts, but after looking closely at the photos, I'm second guessing my choices.

5 Spring Jackets You Should Consider

Ah Spring! It's almost here. It's time to shed the heavy coats and opt for a lighter weight jacket. Here are five spring jackets you should consider for your wardrobe. These will take you from work to weekends and in between.

Red chambray

Now here's something I don't see much of- red chambray. I saw this skirt Memorial Day weekend in the Loft outlet store. It was 50% off and I fell in love. Of course I got the blue one too, but red- oh my! I have a love/hate relationship with red, but this washed out shade is perfect for summer. And the skirt sells itself regardless of color. Easy pull on, elastic waist, and pockets! Full to hide the not-so-summer ready body and breezy for air flow. Perfect.




The hubby and I rarely go out to eat "just because" anymore. We limit our meals out to after church on Sunday and/or other times when we are out and just won't have time to cook. However, we went out to eat a couple of weeks ago "just because". I wore this outfit. I thought it made a cute little date night outfit. I wore the white denim jacket because I knew it would be cold indoors. But if I had to hang out outside much, the jacket would have to come off, so I'm being brave and showing you a shot of the outfit without the jacket.



The top was a purchase I made last year and was seen here.

 I can't find an exact match for the skirt or top, so I tried to link up some similar items in the same cut and style. While I was looking, I found this tassel trimmed skirt. How cute is that? This is pretty much the same skirt but in a print.

Have a great weekend!

Brighten my day





Dress- old  option  option  option
Jacket- Old Navy  option  option
shoes- Old Navy (old)  option   option   option   option
necklace- online boutique  option  option
earrings- Jane.com option  option  option
 
A sunny yellow dress and some bright statement jewelry are just the thing to brighten my day. I was inspired by Molly to wear my denim jacket and wedges with this dress. I usually wear this as a dressier look, but I like the casual vibe going on here. It was cool enough for the jacket but I added a necklace instead of a scarf because I knew it would get pretty warm in the afternoon.
 
Who has inspired you lately? and what brightens your day?

necklace- old  option  option    option 


I've worn this skirt many times, but I was inspired by this ad to create a little  more casual look with it. (The dress in the ad is still available in a few sizes.) As much as I love new clothes, I love finding new ways to wear old pieces.  Hope you are having a great week. Last week and this one have been crazy busy at work, but hey, we are half way through this one!

Undecided

Undecided. That's not a good way to start a new year. Most people are full of decisions, goals,  resolutions, etc, yet here I am starting off by saying I'm undecided. You see, I'm very  undecided about this outfit. The one thing I'm sure of is the new Chelsea boots. I eyed them for a while all over the net and then decided I wanted a pair, so these were part of my Christmas gift from my husband. These are so comfortable. Styling them in a way that looks best on me may be a bit of a challenge.
 
I love that this outfit is composed of all basics that most everyone should have in their closet- a black skirt, grey tee, and denim jacket. I've seen looks like this on others, to include the skirts with the Chelsea boots, but my first impression upon seeing these photos was that I look a bit like a bag lady. Maybe the skirt isn't the right length. Maybe I'd like the skirt/boots look better with some tights ( but mother nature isn't cooperating for me to wear tights). I just don't know. Sometimes you just can't put your finger on what needs to be tweeked. So... I welcome your comments and suggestions.
 
I hope you have a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

I really liked this outfit when I wore it, but I'm not liking how the shirt looks over the jeans in the photos. The jeans are very thick and the fitted tee over them is adding a little too much bulk in the middle. Next time I'll wear them with a looser shirt or do a tuck. Nonetheless, I still like the combination of navy and olive with a denim jacket. The jeans look a little grey here but they are actually a shade of olive.
