I've been looking to add florals to my wardrobe and found this blouse 50% off at JCPenney. I also had a $10 coupon, so it was a pretty good deal. I still haven't found the "perfect" floral blouse but this one will play well with many other pieces and for the price, I couldn't leave it behind. I'm making it work appropriate with a blazer.

 

I'm still looking for a floral blazer too. What's on your current wish list?

We had spring like temps last Sunday so I busted out the florals, gingham and new sandals. I bought this shirt last year to wear with a floral skirt, but the color was not close enough to properly print mix. So, the shirt was worn with jeans and then hung in the closet. One day while just browsing around in my closet, these two pieces caught my eye and I thought, well look, this shirt goes with that skirt. Saved! Used for it's original purpose. Of course, it can be worn many other ways, I just wanted to mix prints.

 

I got many compliments on this outfit at church. I was rather surprised. While I liked my look, I didn't expect anyone else to pay much attention. I wish the photos did this more justice. The lighting in this spot is really bright and bounces and reflects in all directions because of the concrete. I like this spot, but I'm having to work hard to learn to control the lighting so everything isn't so washed out. Thus, outfit photos turn into photography lessons.

 

And speaking of print mixing, let's talk about REmixing. This skirt has become a favorite of mine because it lends itself to so many outfits. A couple of years ago I used it as a transitional piece. (May have to do that again if we have another dip into the 30s like last week.)

I love a multi-color floral skirt. I think the options for tops are endless. I really like the stripes with it in the same tone and the darker colors allow me to wear it in early fall. We are actually having fall like weather here, but only in the early morning. The afternoons are still in the eighties. It was still summer when I wore this, but a different shoe would make it more fall like.

A little more floral

shirt, skirt- Forever 21;

shoes- Belk's

clutch- Target

Worn: May 9, 2012

I have embraced the floral trend this year in small doses, like with this top. This outfit also makes my first Forever 21 purchase. I don't live near one and was afraid to order because I wasn't sure about how sizing ran. I finally got the opportunity to shop in a town that has a store. Fun place! Not everything there is for me, but still a fun place.

Another first for me is the clutch I picked up on clearance at Target. Love it! The shoes were a clearance purchase from Belk's last year. I think this is one of my favorite outfits.
