Shades of Pale

March 5, 2014

I don’t care how unseasonably cold it is right now, I’m ready to lighten up — both in layers and color. As I twiddle my thumbs for spring to roll around, I’m gravitating towards shades of pale. You already know how I feel about all things blush, but paired with a crisp white skirt and a pair of silver pumps and maybe — just maybe — I’ll survive this excruciatingly slow transition between seasons.

Shopping Budget: February 2014

February 28, 2014

February is a wrap, which means I’m recapping another month of purchases. Earlier this year, I set a monthly shopping budget of $350 with the goal of being more responsible with my money, more selective with my shopping and more creative with my wardrobe,

This month, I had my eyes on all things spring. I’m talking textural knits and lighter jackets — pieces I know will get some major wear this season. I also bought a pair of slim white pants, which I guarantee you will end up stained by the next shopping recap. Finally, I scooped up a pair of leopard flats and a mini bow ring to round out the month with something a bit novel.

Coming in a bit under budget this month (and last month!), I might be setting my eyes on something a little more extravagant come March. Stay tuned!

military mix

February 26, 2014

Another barelegged look coming your way! The forecast for the next week is grim, but I just can’t, for the life of me, cover up any longer. On Sunday, I threw on a utility jacket over my favorite dress sans tights for brunch and it was glorious. I have a feeling that when spring finally decides to stick around, I’ll be getting plenty of wear mixing my military jacket with everything spring.
