Even though this weekend went by way too fast, I figured I’d start off the work week right with a sharp and chic outfit.  As hard as it is to pull myself out of bed on a Monday morning, getting dressed for the day helps put a little pep in my leopard step. And while I’m not certainly not ready for the craziness of this week’s events, I can at least look like I am.  Happy Monday friends!

Looks like I’m on a bit of a roll when it comes to formulaic styles.  Another one of my favorite combos: denim jacket, stripes and florals (last rocked here).  If you’re looking to take a stab at mixing prints, try this duo — it’s the perfect pairing for spring!

four ways to wear: monochrome.

It’s round two of my collaboration with Caitlin of A Little Dash of Darling, Amanda of Little Miss Fearless, and Lynzy of Sparkling Footsteps.  This time, we’re showing you how to wear one color from head to toe for a monochromatic look.

You can usually find me rocking at least two or three different colors in any given outfit, but sticking to a single color from head to toe?  Surprisingly, I’ve never tried it!  Turns out, going monochromatic makes for an outfit that’s just as vivacious as my usual repertoire.  For this challenge, I covered myself in corals.  From an over-saturated blouse and skirt to coral color-blocking on my shoes, I definitely embraced the phrase “head to toe!”

See how Caitlin, Amanda and Lynzy rocked the monochromatic looks over on their blogs and let us know what you think of this trend in the comments below!
