Playing with Stripes and Florals

Jacket: Forever 21 (similar) /  Tshirt: H&M (similar) / Shorts: Forever 21 in stores (similar) / Purse: Le Mode (similar)

These shorts have been waiting for a day like today-a beautiful warm sunny day. These are actually shorts I pulled for my client, the one who went to Brazil and wouldn't take me;) While I'm not jetting off to some dream vacation, I had to go back for these shorts. Just how I knew they were so versatile for her even after her vacation, they certainly would be better in my closet and who knows when I might go to Brazil? Hey, I'm hopeful and proactively planning!

I'm also co-hosting Stylish Tuesday with Paige. Hope you'll join the fun!

The Shirtdress

 Lately, I've been reaching for some basic pieces in my closet and finding new ways to wear them. This shirtdress hasn't seen enough days outside my closet and that has to change. While it's great on it's own, mixing in some fun prints is great to add some personality to it and if you can't tell already but I love any chance to layer. I know print mixing can be a little too bold for some or maybe certain 9-5's, but wearing them on separate halves of the body really tones it down. I know I'm technically mixing three prints with the tote (not that there's anything wrong with that), but you can blame that on the ban of plastic bags here in California and my spontaneous trips to Trader Joe's and needing to lug it gracefully. A girl's gotta fill up on flowers and chocolate for the week!

Hope you had a nice visit from the Easter bunny! xo
