I didn't realize until I started putting this post together that every single clothing item is from Old Navy. They were all bought in different years. I guess this is proof of how repeated shopping from a retailer pays off- their pieces go together year after year.

 

You saw these wedges in my last post. Once the temps rise, they go on repeat, but I'm afraid I need to be looking for a new pair. Any day the little piece on the buckle strap or the strap itself is going to break. I just don't want to part with them. It's difficult to find wedges that don't make your feet slide forward out of the shoe, but these are the perfect angle. What items do you have like that? the perfect piece you don't want to part with?

I felt like doing a little a pattern mixing this week and I thought these pieces were structured enough to get away with it at the office. Leopard is a neutral and polka dots go well with everything, so this was an easy mix to pull off. Stay with neutral colors and you've got it made.

This shirt comes and goes at JCrew Factory and isn't available now, but if it comes back, snatch it up. I've worn mine so many ways I've lost count. See nine ways here.

Last week's weather (wind and rain) didn't lend itself to taking outfit photos. You will have to make do with an Instagram photo and a collage of the outfit. It's a very simple formula I pulled from Classy Yet Trendy's book - The Workwear Capsule. I haven't created a spring work capsule per say, I'm just using the outfits for formulas and tweaking it to work for me. Any coordinating color scheme would work for this- white button up+ trousers+ cardigan+ scarf+ pumps. Go with a neutral cardigan and any scarf in your closet will work. I just happened to want to brighten up my look with a butterfly scarf and snakeskin pumps for a little more interest and texture.

I just did a round up of some bright striped pieces for spring. Lucky for me, I have a bright striped skirt in my closet. I've had this one for a few years now (see four more ways to wear it), and it still doesn't disappoint. I wore this to church on Sunday. It was a beautiful day but a little cool that morning so this cardigan was a comforting layer.

I have been seeing mint and coral paired together a lot in patterned pieces this spring, so I tried the paring with these two solid pieces. It's not the most figure flattering outfit, but I love the colors together.
