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?

I'm loving this beautiful mild weather we have had lately. I think it makes me want to be at the beach  or on the ocean because I was channeling nautical vibes again for a Saturday outing. This blouse was a "what the heck, it's on clearance" purchase a couple of years ago, but has been a great addition to the closet. Sometimes those purchases made on a whim don't work out but I love this one. I can wear it for both work and play. And this striped tote has been a versatile summer bag as well.

Lately I've felt like my clothes and outfits have been on repeat so I've been changing things up just a bit with accessories. I tend to go to red with this blazer because of the red polka dot cuffs, but I decided to add a pop of turquoise this time with the necklace. I love red and turquoise together. I recently wore this blazer and pants with yellow (cuffs down) and added a pop of turquoise with that outfit as well. Here are the same pieces with different shoes and accessories.

 

How do you change up the same ol' same ol' outfit?

Sometimes you just want to tone it down a bit but still feel confident and ready to take on the day. A lighter color power suit with a pastel blouse can accomplish just that. I recently updated from an older light grey suit to this one from The Limited. I like having a lighter color suit in my wardrobe for spring and summer. Sometimes navy and black just get too heavy.

Block heel sandals- Saturday shopping

Another fun spring trend is block heel or chunky sandals. They've actually been around for several years. Sometimes I don't know why they call certain styles "trends" when they are actually pretty classic. Call it what you will, I've rounded up a dozen block heel sandals for your Saturday shopping.

Happy shopping!
