Do you ever feel like you struggle to come up with new outfits? I sure do. And for some reason, Spring always seems to be the biggest challenge. I added a few new pieces last spring, but I feel like I can't possibly come up with new ways to wear them. I did a spring capsule wardrobe last year and found out that a capsule can get really boring. And I still struggled with outfits.  Maybe I'm limiting my choices because I've gained a few pounds this year and I feel like some of my pencil skirts and pants aren't the best fit right now. I don't know. Anyway, this top was one of last year's purchases- seen here just a few days shy of a year ago. I like it with the contrast of grey and the pops of yellow here.

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.

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. We had company this weekend. Our niece and four-year-old great-niece came to visit. We spent Saturday visiting the Sea Turtle Center, painting at Color Me Happy ( a paint your own pottery or canvas shop) and visiting a wild life refuge. We saw alligators, ducks, and a raccoon. This four-year-old is pretty quite and tame but keeping up with her can still wear you out.

 

I wore this outfit to work last week. I've had a similar version pinned forever, but was lacking the coral pumps. I picked these up a couple of months ago but have held out until spring to wear them. I think they are going to be a fun addition to the closet, but a color like this can be intimidating.

Bright bold stripes- Saturday shopping

Another one of the Glamour's 16 most wearable spring trends is bright, bold stripes. Stripes always work for me and I love bright colors too. I'll have no problem adding in this trend. Here are some bright striped picks for you.

 

Happy Shopping!

Polka dot blazer three ways

 

I saw the JCrew polka dot Regent blazer on line and thought it would be a fun piece to have. I mean, it's a polka dot blazer! I like to have at least three ways to wear an item in mind before I buy it so I thought I'd create three looks for you with this blazer.

 

Two of these looks would be great for the office and one is casual. 

 

1. Throw it on over a shirtdress and add a fun stripe pump for a little print mixing. It would be cute over this print shirtdress too.

 

2. Get a little more print mixing on by pairing it with a oxford stripe shirt.

 

3. Throw it over a graphic tee with some boyfriend jeans for a casual look.

 

How would you wear it? It would be great with pops of color too, but I stuck to monochromatic looks here.
