Loud Florals

Top: Marshall's (similar); Pants: thrifted (similar); Shoes: Buffalo Exchange (exactly, similar); 

clutch: purchased in the Bahamas

If I were to give one piece of advice to people who aren't comfortable being in networking settings, I'd say wear a distinctive piece of clothing or accessory that can serve as a conversation starter for everyone you interact with.  It works for me every time.  These pants would be a perfect example of what I'd wear for those times when I'm feeling shy.  

Happy Monday!  Let's make this a great week!

Watercolored

 Blazer: thrifted (similar); Dress: Buffalo Exchange; 

Heels: Shoe Mint; Necklace: Shoxie; Earrings: H&M

I never really considered pink to be one of my favorite colors. But after looking at my clothing that has been in heavy rotation this spring, like this blazer, its seems that it is a fav, at least for now.  I see this dress becoming a "new to me" favorite.  It was purchased for $7.50 during a recent Buffalo Exchange trip.  The watercolor like print of this dress kind of inspires me to get out some paints and create some art for my walls.  Or I could just hang the dress on a wall when I'm not wearing it...

Happy Wednesday!

Winter Neon

Top: swapped; Scarf: Old Navy (similar); Skirt: Old Navy (similar)

Happy Monday!  I was inspired by the street style fashion that featured neon green from the recent New York Fashion Week to wear my own neon green piece over the weekend.  I normally think of neon as too summery to wear this deep into the winter, but it can be styled during the cold and warm weather months. I'm definitely enjoying shopping my closet during my brief shopping hiatus.

Did NYFW inspire any winter looks you plan to put together?

Here's to an awesome week!   

Printed and Tropical

Blazer: H&M (old); Floral Jeans: thrifted (similar); Tank: F21 (old); Clutch: Loft (old); 

Necklace: thrifted; Bracelets/Ring: H&M
Though I wear jeans regularly, I don't really consider myself to be a "denim person." I'd much rather  wear a skirt or dress than jeans.  I had my fill of wearing jeans daily in college.  For this reason, it took me a while to embrace colored jeans and I'm just starting to come around to liking printed jeans.  But I couldn't resist these Ralph Lauren floral jeans I found in a thrift store during the winter. These jeans were probably meant to be cropped jeans on a taller lady, but they fit me perfectly as regular length jeans.  The jeans have a higher waist-line and are more generously cut than I prefer my jeans to be, but it's fun to indulge in a trend without busting the budget.  These jeans have a tropical feel to them which is appropriate because I'd love to be in a tropical locale on vacation right now. But until I make that a reality, it's fun to look down at my colorful pants. 

Who else excited that the weekend is almost here?
