Spring Love

Spring is almost here and I'm ready to revamp my closet!  Unfortunately, my bank account doesn't agree, so I'm bringing you some of my favorite pieces and looks for spring.

Obviously, I'm still feeling the chambray shirt.  I don't think that is going away anytime soon.  I currently have 4 different chambray shirts in my closet, and I may just be adding another one in this color soon.  I love how Gap paired the chambray with the pretty floral dress.  I'm pretty obsessed with floral prints this year so I'm hoping to add this dress to my closet soon!

Ok, who didn't have a denim vest in the late 80's and the 90's?!  Loving the color of this shirtdress from Gap as well as the denim vest.  It is fresh, clean, and bright.  Perfect for spring!

Clearly my love of chambray and dresses have had a love child.  Add in the fact that it is striped and has a slight vintage feel and it was love at first sight.  Birchbox sent me a $25 off coupon to Madewell, so this dress may have a new home soon!

Ok, I know it is supposed to be getting warmer soon, but I LOVE this sweater.  I love the pattern and that I could pair it with just about anything from jeans to shorts to a springy dress.  No wonder it is sold out online at Madewell!  Plus, I saw it featured on a Birchbox video so I feel like my love for it has been sealed.

Oh, Old Navy, you know the way to my heart!  I'm loving the color of this eyelet dress.  I can just picture this dress belted, and paired with a cardi and flats.  Perfect for everyday wear!

And, of course, no dream closet would be complete without some JCrew styles.  I love how they blended this structured ladylike jacket with the military skinny pants.  Perfect mix of soft and hard.

I'm pretty sure JCrew has the mixture of textures and prints down to a science.  And that is a science class I'd like to take. 

 

Hope you enjoy my pics for spring fashion.  Let me know what  you think...

Life Happens

Hello....is anyone still checking in here? 

I apologize for the extended break.  Lots of stuff, well, life happened and before I knew it, it had been months since I last blogged. 

Just when I thought I was ready to start blogging again, I had an accident.  The staff at the school I work at decided to surprise the students with a flash mob right before winter break.  In our very last rehearsal for the surprise performance, I twisted my knee.  In fact, I injured it so bad that here I am over a month later recovering from ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair.  So, no fun fashion for me.  In fact, finding pants and clothes that fit over the braces I've had to wear and finding shirts that are comfortable while using crutches is even harder than you'd think.  For the past week and a half I've been in shorts and t-shirts. 

All this to say, I'm hoping to get back to blogging regularly soon.  Until then, enjoy the flash mob that I didn't get to perform:

The Dark Side

I found this cute dress at Target, or as I like to say it Tar-jay.  We all know how much I love a good deal and Target.  This dress is pretty simple but I like the black trim and detailing.  Also, it is extremely comfortable.  Something I always look for in clothes.  I think next time I wear it I need to add a little color to brighten things up a bit...maybe add some accessories. 

 

Entire look from Target!

Fan Club

In an effort to cheer on our local baseball team, the St. Louis Cardinals, the students and staff at work wore t-shirts in honor of the run to the World Series.  Unfortunately, we didn't make it that far, but we all had a good time dressing down and rallying support!

Hearty Heart Heart

Sensing a pattern here with the colored pants?  Yep, it is not at all weird that I've made three colored pants posts in a row.  Get ready for a lot more posts with the colored trend, you guys. 

 

At least I'm not wearing polka dots, stripes, chevron, or my favorite necklace, right?

Just Dots

Hello again!  This is obviously the season of the colored pants for me.  I'm a little obsessed with all sorts of colors available for me to wear!  And this sweater is a new favorite.  I think I've worn it at least 4-5 times in the last several weeks.  Crazy much?
