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.

Floral blouse

I've tried to make this blouse a work appropriate piece before, but I've decided I like it with jeans better. It dresses them up but still has a casual vibe. And the blouse is too pretty to be hidden behind a blazer. Maybe I could try a cardigan, but I really like it on it's own.
 
Do you have any items of clothing that just didn't work one way but you loved another way?

Chambray dress and a blazer

So, that was a real original title, huh? It's exactly what I'm wearing. I have a foggy brain thanks to the loss of an hour this weekend. I love the longer daylight hours, but it happens naturally, so why do we have to mess with the clock?
 
I based this outfit on a pin I have saved, but I can't seem to find it to link to right now. I guess I have too many pins? The inspiration outfit has sneakers, but I was going to a church and a wedding shower later, so I switched to my leopard flats so I would be a little dressier. This is one of those season neutral outfits that could  work fall or spring.  See how I last wore this dress in the fall HERE and  four more ways HERE.

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?
