I love these shorts. I wear them often. I found them last year at Marshall’s after I saw a similar pair on Pinterest. I love the stripes that are more of a rope pattern and the gold button detail. They are my version of neutral because they go with anything. I like them with a polka dot ribbon belt that is reversible with stripes on the other side. The belt came with a white shirt dress I bought 10 years ago at Target — back when Isaac Mizrahi had a line there. For the 4th, I wore them with my red tube top (Walmart — seen here in mint green). Accessories: gold flip flops, Lands End; watch Target; bracelets, Mantra Bands (also seen here); cateye sunnies, Target.

I am very hopeful that Spring is in full swing but the mornings are a bit cool.. so I seem to start my day wearing more that I am at the end of the day. This morning started with an old pair of GAP Jeans that look very boyfriend-esque and are in a light wash — they are called Slim Fit. This pair I cut the bottom and gave it a little roll to crop them up. This is another pair that I bought 2 sizes about 13 years ago (the other pair is seen here). I am so comfortable in sweatshirts lately…this is my embellished gray from Target (also seen here and here). The striped tee underneath is a new favorite (Faded Glory, Walmart) — it’s got a high-low hem that is perfect for half tucks. You’ll definitely be seeing more of this shirt this summer. The accessories in this outfit comprise of a scarf (a gift), my Converse All Stars (read more about these here), my Target watch clearance find (also see here) and a gloriously pink bag by Big Budda (TJ Maxx-also see here) and sunnies are J.Crew Factory last year (similar here and here).

What does Spring look like to you?

So this is spring? I’m sure many of my friends are dressing in adorable spring clothes. We in the northeast are still battling the chill (understatement). So today, a simple outfit. My standby combo of camo and stripes. Gap skinnies (seen here and here) are as neutral as blue jeans. My shirt is J.Crew (seen here) and the waffle knit wrap is an old target purchase that I haven’t worn in a while, but I saw this blogger wearing one similar and it inspired me to dig it out. Boots are Arturo Chang (seen here and here). Knit hat is the navy version of this one. I’m adding a little Navy to everything lately. Just love it! Coat is Nine West — Bought it at Tuesday Morning, of all places, or something like $25.00 2 years ago. My old olive coat was on it’s last legs when I ran across it. Fur collar is removable. These new sunglasses are quickly becoming a staple! And red lips… what do you think?

Casual Dress, Denim Dress, Double wrap belt, Fedora, Red Striped Tee, Suede booties

I had no idea what to wear today. I have a meeting at 8:30 which is right after I take the kids to school so in the mad morning rush I had to make some quick choices. In other words, I punted and it turned out pretty well. Here is a perfect example of how you can pull together things that are already in your closet and make a totally new outfit. I have never worn all of these pieces together.

I grabbed my white and red striped 3/4 sleeve tee (Forever 21 circa 2011- similar here) and layered it under a loose denim dress (Kohl’s Sonoma, Clearance, as always) similar here. I rolled the dress sleeves up an extra 2 or 3 times so you could see the shirt underneath (inspiration here). Belted with a double belt with pewter buckles I bought at Banana Republic (also circa 2011). I like the double belt because it adds just a little something unexpected. A skinny belt wasn’t quite right and a thicker belt wasn’t it either. This is just something in between that was working for me today. The pewter buckles give a more casual thrown together look, which is exactly what this was (as you can see, I put a lot of thought into my belts–try this one). Finished off with black tights and suede booties DSW (White Mountain-2012). The boots have a bit of a cowboy feel so If I were going to get a pair today, I might go for these. I have day 3 hair — so up or with a hat is necessary (Gray polka dotted fedora, Target-2012). Note to self: need more hats for fall. And I am not normally the type to rock a side pony, yet, here it is. A little messy side bun, knot whatever it is, but I think I like it.
