Floral Days & Floral Nights

Honest to God, what's more fabulous than floral print? Are you looking to spruce up your professional wardrobe or add a splash of refined color and sophistication to your favorite blue jeans?  Look no further than a structured and playful floral print jacket or coat.  

Where do you turn to find such a coveted treasure?  First, I'd try rumaging around your local thrift store.  You never know what kind of flashy finds you may find secondhand (and, you won't beat the price!)  If you'd rather skip the hunt, go straight to River Island -- they've got three styles that I'm crazy about.

Now, which to choose?
Orange
Yellow
Black

Pair this fancy floral coat with a pair of blue jeans, a cozy v-neck tee, a pair of kick-ass pointy toe heels, and finish the look with some simple stud earrings.  

Flower power!

Winter Brights!

Winter brights. . .not blues!  I don't know if it's the warm weather most of the country has been experiencing (including Flagstaff, AZ); but, I just can't wait for all the spring fashion trends!  Fifty plus degrees outside means I can wear skirts without tights, right?

I am getting really excited for pastels to make their grand appearance in the spring fashion scene.  I am a little nervous sporting the trend because I don't think I've worn light pink, canary yellow or baby blue for approximately a decade or so.  I'm looking forward bringing pastel hues back into my wardrobe and having a little fun with it! 

I am getting starry eyed looking at all of the fantastic turquoise, bright corals and flashy electric blues hitting the scene as of recent. Including, neon!  I do enjoy integrating playful and unexpected bits of color into my winter wardrobe.

Bring on the brights and the sunshine.  I'm ready for you, sweet Springtime!
