I was inspired by a Loft ad that came through my email to pair these pieces together. The ad showed a top this color with patterned black and white shorts. The shorts are really nothing like my pants, but I immediately thought of them.

 

Hope your having a great week so far!

Sometimes you just need to look polished and professional and not overdone. Those are the days I reach for my black suit. A pastel top and long strand of faux pearls keep it from looking too "heavy" for spring.

 

This strand of pearls belonged to my aunt who passed away when I was five. My cousin passed on some of her jewelry to me. She was a beautiful red head and loved clothes and jewelry. I'm sure we would have been the best of friends if she had lived longer.

Spring bags- Saturday shopping

We did a fun little "Mommy and me" photo session this morning so I'm just now getting back to the blog. Fringe and saddle bags are popular for spring this season, so here's a quick little round up of bags for your Saturday shopping.

Happy Shopping!

Dots and leopard

 

Cardigan- Target   option  option  option

shirt- JCrew Factory  option   option

pants- Loft  option  option  option

necklace- JCrew Factory (old) option   option    option 

belt- Target  option   option   

shoes- DSW   option  option  option

 

I felt like doing a little a pattern mixing this week and I thought these pieces were structured enough to get away with it at the office. Leopard is a neutral and polka dots go well with everything, so this was an easy mix to pull off. Stay with neutral colors and you've got it made.

This shirt comes and goes at JCrew Factory and isn't available now, but if it comes back, snatch it up. I've worn mine so many ways I've lost count. See nine ways here.

Brighten my day

earrings- Jane.com option  option  option

 

A sunny yellow dress and some bright statement jewelry are just the thing to brighten my day. I was inspired by Molly to wear my denim jacket and wedges with this dress. I usually wear this as a dressier look, but I like the casual vibe going on here. It was cool enough for the jacket but I added a necklace instead of a scarf because I knew it would get pretty warm in the afternoon.

 

Who has inspired you lately? and what brightens your day?
