I wasn’t sure if green and coral would work together but I’m happy with how this combination turned out. I wanted to try this tank top in a more office appropriate outfit (see going out version here) and I could’ve stuck with black or other neutrals but why not blasts of color?

Outfit: Bold Dots + a Dash of Orange

This dress makes it easy to stand out. Accessorizing is not my strong suit so I love that the dress can stand on its own. I’ve combined it with other colorful accents like fuchsia (here) and red (here) but this was the first time I used orange.

I was off to a business counseling session and needed to look the part of a creative and brilliant entrepreneur (you can read more about my new biz if you want on my other blog, Living Scattered). I thought about a sheath dress but decided to go with a bolder color and something more casual. It was in Laguna Beach after all which has quite the eclectic mix of styles.

Dots and stripes on Monday and dots and stripes today. Totally different looks though. This skirt is very versatile! It can be worn as a maxi (here) or a halter dress (here) or as a long pencil skirt. I wish I could say that I knew all these options existed when I bought the skirt but I didn’t have that foresight. That is definitely a good result of this blog – learning how to get creative with my clothing!

Sorry for the abundance of green lately but when I saw the Kirsten Dunst outfit I just had to do one more green combo. I’m pale and blonde so I should be able to pull it off, right? Her skirt is better and I didn’t have a matching top/cardigan combo but I think it’s still a fun look.

It was a beautiful day so I embraced it by wearing colorful jeans that make me happy. Spring = green, right? Not to mention, I went to Michigan State so green is sort of in my blood now. My mom recently sent me all my yearbooks so perhaps it prompted me to embrace some nostalgia and wrap myself in Spartan green, too. Truth of the matter is, I don’t need any excuses to wear colored jeans. Like I said, they make me happy.

Outfit: I Won’t Give Up on Tan and Red

I really like tan and red together but I feel like a Target employee when I wear them. I actually did wear a red and tan combo to Target once and I got asked for help two times! So, I’m hoping white jeans help to break the Target uniform look because I really don’t want to retire this color combo. How do you style this color combination?

I really had no idea how much wear I would get out of these cobalt heels but I have to tell you, I love them! Having fun shoes to wear with brightly colored outfits makes them feel complete. This year I’m on a mission to add patterned shoes to my closet. It seems like a natural leap for my improve-my-wardrobe mission.

This is one of the items I got last month (here) and luckily a warm up in the weather gave me the chance to wear it before Spring. The peachy colors combined with silver and gold are just fantastic. Yes, I should’ve ironed it before wearing but the iron and I do not get along (that’s why we have dry cleaners, right?). I have a couple other combinations in mind once the weather is truly warm (which for me means 80°).

We had some fantastic weather which motivated me to look through my t-shirt drawer and pull out this fuchsia shirt. I used the aqua necklace to bring even more color to the ensemble since the cardigan and shoes were neutral. It was nice being able to wear my peep toe shoes and not having my feet freeze. Sorry to all of you in colder climates but this is why I moved to CA.
