Spring outfit and 5 things I'm crushing on

Baby, blue ain't your color

Blue looks good on the sky, looks good on that neon buzzin' on the wall, but darling it don't match your eyes (Keith Urban lyrics).

Spring vibes and subtle pattern mixing

I announced a couple of weeks ago that I was finished posting winter outfits and would be moving on with spring stuff. I also spent a whole day about a week ago cleaning out my closet and relocating fall/winter items to the guest bedroom and bringing spring and summer stuff to the master closet. Well... Mother Nature has her own mind and own way. We had temps in the 30's to 60's all last week. So where did I go to get dressed? To the guest bedroom. I know those sound like spring temps to some of you, but trust me, that's winter in south Georgia.

9 to 5 Style - Trench coats

Welcome to 9 to 5 Style! The third Monday of every month Jennie of A Pocketful of Polka Dots and I will showcase a theme featuring our individual takes on a professional look. Our aim is to inspire and show professional style does not have to mean boring and without personality. We hope you enjoy our 9 to 5 Style!

This month's theme is trench coats. I featured them in my "5 Spring Jackets You Should Consider" post. They make a great spring layer for those of you that still need the layers in spring. For us, it is usually warm in the spring (83 degrees on Sunday as I prepare this post) so I don't own a trench coat. I do, however, own a sleeveless trench that allows me to have the same vibes without being too warm, so I have styled my sleeveless trench for you. ( If I were to get a regular trench coat, I'm swooning over this gingham trench.)

Spring shoes

I've been doing some online shoe shopping lately. More like shoe lusting. I have found so many cute flats, and I'm not one to own a huge collection of flats. I don't wear them to work much, and I don't wear them with skirts on the weekend much. Just a couple of pair will get my by. But I've sure seen a ton in my search for a pair of striped flats or mules to wear in my GYPO Spring Capsule that I'd love to have in my closet.

Below are just a few of the fabulous flats, loafers/mules and sneakers out there.
