Coral Ruffle Party

{Dress:J Crew old}{Shoes: Forever 21}{Art Candy: H&M, Forever 21, Nordstrom}

I kind of feel as though this dress slightly resembles a potato bag that just happens to be belted, I really love it. Maybe it's the color, or maybe it's the comfort factor, but either way, I just can't get over it. I love the double ruffle on the top, and the fit of it. The baggy fit is not only comfortable, but perfect for a hot day (which is really way this day). I belted it to add a little definition to my waist, but it works without it as well for a more beachy look.

Orange Crush

{Shorts: Jcrew}{Shirt: Old H&M Mens wear}{Shoes: Urban Outfitters}

Although I kind of feel like my shorts resemble a table cloth that my grandmother might own, I really, really, love them. I have a new found crush on orange. It is so bright and festive for the season. What I love about these shorts, other than the table cloth look, is that they are so versatile. Seriously, they are! I dressed them down here, with tennis shoes and a white button up, but add some wedges, a white blouse and you can wear there out on the town this summer.

Spring has Sprung

Hello, top bun! The top bun is one of my favorite hair styles to formal events or even for a more polished casual look. Or, more realistically for me sometimes, second day hair that just won't do anything else. I also wore white pants for the first time this season, and I have to admit, I missed them terribly. This off the shoulder shirt is so girly and perfect for spring.

Easter Outfit

Hello, Easter outfit number one! I wore this to brunch and then changed in to a pastel dress for the rest of the day (pictures coming soon). These shoes are seriously the most comfortable wedges I own, thank you, Steve Madden. The dress is a orange/coral color that is bright and bold. I paired it with a denim jacket to make the dress less formal. It was so sunny, warm and gorgeous today I couln't help but wear something bright and fun!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter, everyone! Here are some very spring inspired things that made me smile today. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and a fabulous Easter!

{April Showers...}

 

April showers bring May flowers....right? I really hope that is the case because I am beyond sick of the constant rain my state has been seeing this Winter. I wore this outfit around on Saturday and then out with some friends. I was so excited to pull out some bright pink and add more color to my outfit. It is officially Spring, after all. The day was so gogeous, until it started to dump rain out of nowhere. It was a mad dash back to the car that almost resulted in the loss of my camera to a puddle. All in all it the outfit worked great from day to night activities, popped in color and print, and kept me warm enough in the windy,rainy mess.

{Currently Craving: Spring Collection}

The past couple of days have been the most beautiful spring days here in Seattle. Even though we still have a couple more months a rain and gloom before spring really sets in, these sunny days remind me how much I love spring clothes (they also remind me why I live in this rainy city). Winter layering is fun and all, but I am kind of over it. Thinking about spring shopping makes me crave so many unattainable items it is actually quite depressing. Forunately, there is the internet, so I can day dream about my cravings.

I'll be the first to admit I am a chambray whore. Not that I am ashamed, there are much worse things to be obsessed with in the world of fashion, really. I really do think it goes with everything. Especially in the spring/summer months when that little something extra either keeps your warm or adds that extra something to the outfit. This chambray creates the perfect contrast from the masculine leather shorts.

This outfit might just be my favorite of the bunch, but that may vary depending on my mood. I am so in love with these pants it is not even funny. Not to mention the belt options. Yes, plural. I literally could not decide which belt I would like better with this, so I chose both. Simply to show that each looks fabulous. I love the neon because it is so bright, bold and different from the pants. But I love anything leopard as well. Tucking in this cream blouse only in the front, to show off the belt would be my move. As for those ankle booties from zara...holy cow. I. Want. Now. 

The whole uneven hem thing has really grown on me. I think it really depends on how you pair the dress and/or skirt, and what material it is. Again, leopard print, so obviously I love it. Add some arm flare and we are in business.

Give me some rolled up boyfriend jeans and that sweater and I will seriously be one happy camper. Not to mention  that collar of perfection. I love that the collar goes so perfectly with the colors of the sweater, but adds so much. Anyone else obsessed with this J Crew bag? They have it in blue as well, and I can't decide which one to plurge on.  Happy spring shopping, ladies!
