Tulle.

How great is this tulle skirt? Ballerina chic? I kind of feel like Carrie Bradshaw ~ minus the 4 inch heels and glamorous life, of course! I decided to pair this girly skirt with some casual pieces. Enter the chambray shirt and army vest. A bit masculine and perfect partners. A pair of suede booties and some statement earrings were the finishing touches.

Mix It Up.

Things I love about fall:

Cool weather, changing leaves, pumpkin everything, soccer games, apple butter, fire pits, snuggling, sweaters, boots. I felt very fallish in this outfit which centered around this gorgeous skirt from Target. It's the perfect fall color ~ ochre, a deep brownish yellow. Of course I mixed my prints playing off the deep blue in the skirt. I added some of my fall favorites to compliment the skirt and top ~ a warm sweater and comfy booties. I'm looking forward to more fall outfits featuring warm colors, sweaters, and boots!

Brights.

Wearing some of my summer favorites in this outfit! Bright colors and lace. The temperatures have been so hot over the past few days that I feel like we've completely skipped over spring. So, in order to stay cool, I went for a summery vibe by pairing two bright colors with a breezy skirt and straw bag. Coral colored earrings and a leopard belt were my fun extras. Of course, I couldn't leave without my denim jacket...I have to deal with the AC inside. I'm looking forward to styling more summer outfits in the near future!

Orange Cream

I love the combination of orange and cream. The neutral creams of my outfit really are the orange pop. My new oxfords worked well to keep my orange skirt the center of my outfit. Of course I added my jean jacket as an extra layer and a clutch to finish the look.

May Floral

So lets get a few things out of the way before I actually discuss this outfit.

• I did not realize how wrinkled my shirt was until I saw it in the pictures. Ironing is not really a strength of mine.
• I tried outside pictures today and wasn't aware that there was a nip in the air. I was more concerned about the neighbors thinking I was crazy for posing on my porch.
• It was 7am so I the lighting is not fantastic. I will work on that the next time pictures are taken outside.

Now that I've gotten that off my chest, let's get to the outfit. Wrinkles, nip, and early hour aside, I think this outfit is perfectly springy with an edge. In honor of the first day of May I broke out my floral midi from Old Navy. The bright colors in this skirt really pop when paired with a darker gray. I added some edge with my peep toe heels from Steve Madden. I love the caged detail of these sandals. A denim jacket around my waist and my bucket bag were the final touches for my look.

Coral Stripes

Easy breezy today in stripes and denim. I've already spoken of my love for stripes so I couldn't pass on this skirt from Old Navy. I love the color combination of coral and taupe which is the perfect match for my suede Steve Madden booties. Since my stripes are wide and colorful, I decided to keep my top half simple with a white tank and denim shirt. Piles of bracelets and my bucket bag completed my spring striped look.

Varsity

Took it back to my sports days today with this varsity jacket. Okay, who am I kidding? I was really only on the JV Field Hockey team for one year in high school but...I did get most improved! Anyway, I love the combo of this comfy varsity jacket and graphic skirt from Peter Pilotto's collection for Target. My favorite Steve Madden slouchy suede booties finished this Varsity chic look.

Purple Pleats

Today's outfit was planned entirely around this stunning new statement necklace that just happened to arrive at my house yesterday. A little late birthday gift from my dear friend B! I immediately knew that I had to play with the colors in the necklace when I planned my outfit. So, out came this fun, pleated purple skirt and a striped top that I may have "borrowed" from my sis while she was pregnant (but of course never returned...because that's what sisters do). A leopard belt cinched in my waist and added another pattern to the mix. Black booties and a leather jacket added a downtown vibe.

Happy Kicks today for new jewelry and a skirt that twirled!
