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!

I couldn't help but feel like I was skipping a whole season or holiday when I got dressed in this Saturday for an outing. I mean, it's Easter week and we are supposed to be loading up on florals and pastels, but I skipped right to summer with stripes and anchors. I have no shame. This outfit was comfortable and fit my activities.

Hello Monday and hello Spring! Of course we are going to have another one of those March cool fronts, so the calendar is a bit of a tease. Nonetheless, I like to freshen up my wardrobe for spring. I don't have too many items that I consider "spring" because it's such a short season for us in terms of temps. I've been wanting to add a little more pastel and blush pink, so I did just that with a recent Limited sale.

Saturday shopping- Gingham goodness

Last week I mentioned the 16 most wearable spring trends as outlined by Glamour. Gingham is one of those trends. I don't wear it often but I do have a couple of shirts in this fun pattern. Here are 12 gingham picks.

Gingham goodness


 
Ralph Lauren Gingham Golf Tote • Ralph Lauren • $145
Factory gingham one-piece swimsuit • J.Crew Factory • $50.50
Eliza J Gingham Shirt Dress (Regular & Petite) • Eliza J • $138
Betsey Johnson Gold-Tone Set of Four Charm Bracelets • Betsey Johnson • $38
Desi kitten heel pump • Sole Society • $34.98–79.95
LandsEnd Women's Gingham Blazer-Plum Purple Gingham,4 • Lands' End • $129–139
Gingham Check Crew Socks • Express • $4.99
American Living Gingham Button Down Shirt • American Living • $32.99

Women's Muck Boots Breezy Ankle Boot - Purple Gingham Boots • Muck Boots • $115.95
FOREVER 21 gingham-patterned shirt • Forever 21 • $22.90
Keds Triumph Gingham • Keds • $55

If you think this trend is not for you, give it a try in small doses with the socks or bracelet.
If you have no shame decking  out it in, then snatch up that adorable blazer.
If you'd rather keep it away from your body, then wear gingham on your feet in some cute sneakers or rain boots.

Happy Shopping!

This was my green outfit of the week for St. Patrick's Day. I actually had work duties that required other attire yesterday, so I got my green on earlier in the week. I love the mix of patterns in this outfit. I've been waiting several weeks now for it to be more spring like so I could wear these pieces together.
