All Floral, All the Time

Jacket - Target (old) / Tank - F21 (really old) / Jeans - Gap / Shoes - Reebok / Bracelet - LC Lauren Conrad (old, similar) / Necklace - gifted (similar)

I bought this blazer last spring but actually had a hard time finding different ways to wear it, so it mostly just sat in my closet looking sad.  This spring though it has been all over the place (like when I wore it to work here).  For some reason all of the sudden I've been wanting to wear blazers all the time, despite the fact that I ignored Stacy and Clinton for years.  They just help to pull together casual outfits, or finish off my work looks.  I wore this particular outfit out to lunch with my mom and aunt, and then to run around the city a couple of weekends ago (hence the comfy sneaks). It was supposed to be in the 60's, but ended up being almost 80 that day, which was unfortunate because I maybe had a weird bra situation going on under that jacket and couldn't take it off to cool down.

What about you?  Are you a blazer fan?

Ensemble: Floral & Mint

Pastels + floral print + ruffles, how much girlier could an outfit get?  Oh, a little bit I guess, because I threw in my gold Sperry's.*  Getting dressed in spring is definitely my favorite.

* The boyfriend calls these my Michael Johnson shoes.  Once when wearing them, I performed a rather magnificent leap to avoid some dog poop.  I think they work.

Dressing Up

I.love.dresses.

If shorts weren't an option (ahem, I may have already bought two pairs this year), I would probably wear a dress every day when it's warm.  I love how easy they are, and they always make me feel so feminine and flirty. I'm looking to add some new options to my closet this year, here are a few of the trends I'm looking for:

floral 1 / floral 2 / bright 1 / bright 2

stripes 1 / stripes 2 / lace 1 / lace 2

Do you wear a lot of dresses?  Which styles are you looking to grab this season?

Ensemble: Too Trendy

I realized after putting this on, that it included lace, florals, pastel, black and white, and stripes.  Too many trends for one outfit?  I think not!

This little necklace was a birthday present to myself.  I want to wear it just about every day.

Ensemble: Stripes & Florals

Last week I tweeted that I went into Loft to return some things and then had to restrain myself from buying everything in their spring collection.  Seriously, everything is so adorable.  Luckily they had a sale later that week so I was able to snag a couple of things, including this striped top.  I love stripes, so duh, this was a no brainer, but what really got me is how thick the fabric is, it makes the shirt super flattering.

And, of course, as I've been commenting all over the place, I've been dying to try my hand at mixing prints with stripes and florals.  I've actually had this skirt for a couple of years now, it was something I was dying for and then amazingly went on clearance only in my size.  Huzzah!*

This necklace was a birthday gift from my brother and almost sister-in-law.  It's an old CTA token, cool right?!  It's made by a local Chicago artist, but unfortunately I lost the card that came with the necklace so I'm not sure where it's from.  It's funny to think that people used to have to carry these around to ride the bus!  The boyfriend joked that in twenty years they'll be making Chicago Card necklaces.

I wore this last week to meet my boyfriend and his co-workers out for happy hour and then to go to dinner at The Girl & The Goat.  Yes, I know I'm about three years late, but I finally made it!  Totally worth the hype, the pig face (yes, you read that correctly) was one of the top five things I've ever had!

*Whenever I say "Huzzah!" I'm specifically referencing an old episode of Gilmore Girls where Luke goes to live with the carnies.  I think 90% of the things I say are actually references to tv shows/movies that no one will ever realize I'm referencing.  It's a problem, unless I'm talking to one of my siblings since they understand immediately.  Huzzah!
