Green with Gold

I'm not sure I would have ever put this bright lime green with vintage gold accents, but somehow it mixed together nicely for this outfit. Plus, I really love the black and gold against this bright green, so when I dug this old Lacoste watch out of my jewelry box, I was thrilled at how well it coordinated. Oh, the little things, right?!

Green Colorblock

This knit and silk sweater from the Philip Lim for Target line has been my favorite purchase for a long time now. Colorblocking seems to still be on trend this spring, so I definitely plan to keep this lightweight shirt in heavy rotation in the months to come.

Inspired by...Chic Street Style

Here is the second installation of my Inspired by series (here was the first). One of my favorite parts of starting this blog has been gathering fun outfit inspirations that I can mimic myself (either cheaper or more realistic for a stay-at-home-mother - i.e. not wearing 20 dangly bracelets on each arm or sky high heels). So when I came across the photo of Chic Street Style's necklace layering on her instagram feed, I was excited to find something totally do-able for anyone. Plus, discovering Brenna's blog has given me even more inspiration for my daily get-ups. Thank you to Chic Street Style for making my closet predicaments a little easier!

Golden Date Night

These golden accessories and this soft knit sweater are a perfect date night ensemble - comfortable, chic and just fancy enough to make it feel special for my man. And believe me, a date night in and of itself is special enough for my husband and me, but I do enjoy adding a few extra sparkles here and there.      

Speaking of sparkles, can we talk about all this shine? This gorgeous necklace is my new favorite piece and at under $25, it was a steal (a gifted steal in any case - thanks, Ma)! A second favorite of mine is this convertible clutch. Purchased awhile back at a local boutique in Key West, FL, it is still my go-to purse for weddings, nights out or special events.

Happy Blue

With the warmer weather here in South Carolina, I've been pulling out all my bright colors to the front of the closet to grab first. And, I'm so glad I did because the blue color of this shirt makes me happy that spring is almost here!

Colored Accents

  

Typically on a daily basis, adding in accessories after getting dressed is usually an after-thought. So when adding these colored accents to this otherwise neutral outfit, I was happy that I spent an extra few minutes gathering them up.

Shopping My Closet with Prints

More and more I'm realizing how large my current clothing selection is and that most of my clothes are still current and classic. So today, I'm starting a new series called Shopping My Closet where most if not all items in my outfit will be several seasons old. I know that doesn't sound enticing (who doesn't love shopping the new trends?), but it's a great idea for those on a budget (like myself). In my first installment, I'm mixing a few graphic prints with leopard accessories and throwing in a quick change to go from day to night. Let me know how you like to shop your own closet!
