and grey... I've been wearing a lot of grey again. I hope you are not tired of it. It's a great neutral alternative to black. I came up with this outfit based on an Instagram challenge prompt- sugar and cream. I really don't know that I would have ever put these pieces together otherwise, but I really like the outfit. Speaking of white- how do you keep whites looking good, especially a dry clean item like this blazer? I've taken to throwing it in the washing machine on delicate because dry cleaning doesn't really clean, but the more I wash it, the more the fabric tends to "pill". The neck and sleeve cuffs are disgusting too. I'll be looking to replace it soon, but would love some tips on how to keep up the next white blazer? Or is it just to be accepted that white items will be replaced more often?

I love the texture in this fly away cardigan. It was an after Christmas clearance find. I last wore it here in a winter outfit.  I'm taking it into spring with a floral blouse. Notice the pops of serenity blue in my top? This blouse has been in my closet forever but it still fits the bill for one of the colors of the year. I paired the top with yellow a couple of years ago.

I recently wore this suit with a bright coral blouse. I toned it down a few shades this time with a blush blouse and went with metallic pumps. I actually came up with this by playing along with a couple of challenges on Instagram.
 
Hope you had a great weekend. Ours was super busy, so I'm keeping this short. We photographed the Kilwins Ice Cream run for the Clarke Schools for hearing and speech this weekend in. If any of you are in the Jacksonville, Florida area and ran it or know of runners, photos will be available soon here.

 A cardigan over a print blouse+ trousers+ heels has become one of my favorite outfit formulas. It's a little more relaxed than a blazer, but still very office appropriate. This color combination of red, black and white is still one of my favorites too. See how I recently wore this cardigan with other black and white pieces here. And I love how these grey snakeskin heels give a little more contrast and interest than just plain black pumps.
 
Happy Friday!
