Spring pastels



 
Blazer- Lord and Taylor  option
blouse- Loft  option

Worn April 30, 2015
 
My favorite outfits so far from my capsule have been the ones with light pastel spring colors. Of course I still like bright colors, but this palette has been so refreshing and relaxing. This outfit was inspired by this one. 
 
Hope you are having a fabulous week.

The other half of Lavendar





Blazer- old   option   option   option
blouse- Loft via Poshmark  option     option
necklace- Banana Republic (old)  option   option
shoes- Banana Republic   option   option
 
This blazer is the other half of the matching suit set I talked about here. The one that taunts me. So I put the blazer in my spring capsule. It's my challenge piece. I like this pairing better than the last couple of times I tried to wear it. I've also cut off the inside buttons and tabs. It just didn't look good buttoned and the buttons/closures looked silly dangling unbuttoned.
 
The silver shoes were an impromptu add on. I had planned to wear nude shoes because of the pattern and all the colors here but I was in a hurry and found these first. I thought, lavender, blue, silver- that could work so on the feet they went and out the door I was.

Chartreuse print skirt- four ways





 
Blazer- Dress Barn option
blouse- JCPenney option option
skirt- JCPenney
shoes- Target option
earrings- gift
Worn April 15, 2014
 
I bought this blouse and skirt about a year apart but being that they are both the Worthington line from JCPenney, they work great together. The skirt is embellished with tulle and chain, so no necklace is needed. I've had these shoes for a while too, but I'm happy to see they are still in style this spring.
 
Here are three other ways I've worn this skirt:

Return of the coral blazer




 
Blazer- Forever 21 option
skirt- Isaac Mizrahi for Target- thrifted option
shirt- old option
shoes- Ann Klein/Belks
necklace- gift option
Worn April 2, 2014
 
I was so happy for the return of spring and the chance to wear my coral blazer again. I purchased it towards the end of the summer last year, so I'm looking forward to give it a fair share of wear this year. And skirts too. I love the cut of this one. Next to a good pencil skirt, an a-line is a must.

Gingham, florals and two ways to wear a skirt




Shirt- Jones New York/ TJMaxx similar
skirt- Old Navy (old) similar
shoes- Payless similar
necklace- Our World Boutique similar
Worn March 23, 2014
 
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.)

Easing into florals

Remember last week's round up of florals? I eased into florals with a cute pair of floral kicks (shoes) by Blowfish that I found at Ross. I've gotten compliments on them every time I've worn them and someone even called them "happy" shoes.

I'll go ahead and warn you- these photos aren't the greatest of my feet.






Cardigan, tank- Target; scarf- Old Navy;
capris- Belks; shoes- Blowfish via Ross
Belt- thrifted

Spring florals

Are you into this spring's floral trend? I can see myself doing it in small doses. As a matter of fact, I picked up a cute pair of floral printed peep toe flats and they will be debuting here soon. Here are some other floral picks I might consider. Definitely the shoes or scarves - the skinnies might be a stretch for me, but they'd be fun with a solid shirt and neutral shoes.

Mint to be

Mint green is a popular color for the spring season. I justed couldn't wait and busted out my mint blazer last Friday. I didn't get any pics of the outfit though. That's okay, I will wear it again. For now, here are a few mint accessories:
