Green and Yellow

Green is one of my favorite colors and I really love wearing it too. Since spring seems to be FINALLY in full swing I have been embracing bright fun colors.

Dress – JCrew – gift from my sister last summer / Cardigan – AE – super old (similar style)/ Shoes – JCrew Factory

Normally, I would not have paired this outfit right away but as I was searching for a sweater to go with this dress (its sleeveless and it is typically cold where I work) I wanted to go for something bold and not my go to grey sweater.

Headband – Anthropologie

I had second day hair and when I decided on the yellow cardigan I knew I had to wear it with my yellow headband.

Close up on the shoes!

I picked these shoes because if I was going to be bold with colors why not toss in a little leopard print too!

Peter Pan collars

I was very excited when Peter Pan collars came on the fashion scene but I was very skeptical about wearing one. I was not sure I could pull off the look but I tried anyway.

I love the lace detail on this collar

I can’t locate the exact Sperry but they have so many cute ones – I got mine on sale at Macys

I had second day hair so I did a fast inverted or dutch braid (I have seen both names for this)

Since the top is fairly simple aside from the collar, I felt comfortable pairing it with bright blue pants and funky Sperrys.

 

Spring Colors – mint and pink

It has been a long time since I posted – I was very busy personally during the month of March and April. I will post more about all of this but I was in New Orleans for a bachelorette party, in my dear friends wedding, traveling in Italy ( ! ), attending another friends wedding and since then I have been dog sitting! Phew!

Anyway – I wanted to post about my outfit that I wore last week. While it is officially spring and April – it snowed. Yes snowed. Where I live this is not very normal and while it was only a coating (about 1 inch) near me this crazy weather is driving me nuts! I needed to feel spring and the best way to do that for me is to dress in springy colors.

Top – Loft  Jeans – Gap Flats – JCrew Factory

 

Since it was cold I paired this with my Michael Kors Leather Jacket

Pink Ballet flats from JCrew – I got them for my engagement pictures

I am ready for spring weather to be here but the forecast seems like its going to be nice for now but get cold again. Nevertheless, I am busting out my spring clothes and pretending its spring temps in the meantime!
