Neutrals with a pop.

May 17, 2012

After my last post of bold colors, I decided to go in the opposite direction with an outfit of neutrals, but of course I had to have a little pop with some red lips. I just bought this dress at Banana Republic and I love it! It’s a little stretchy and so comfortable. I could wear this every day …

Outfit Breakdown:
Dress: Banana Republic (Same. Save. Spend. Splurge.)
Belt: Banana Republic (Save. Spend. Splurge.)
Shoes: Banana Republic (Save. Spend. Splurge.)

Curled away from my face with a 1.5″ curling iron.

Did anyone watch Glee on Tuesday? If you did, you might have noticed the adorable belt that Tina was wearing while she performed “Because You Loved Me”. Stitched + Adorned carries the exact belt for just $14.99 in two different colors! Check out the blush belt here and the sage belt here.

Carried by color.

May 16, 2012

This outfit is very simple: a cardigan, dress, necklace, belt, and shoes. This is a really easy combination, but the thing that makes it a little more special are the colors. I love this lime and coral together, and then once I added the black belt and shoes, I kind of felt like a watermelon. Perfect for warm spring weather!

If you are feeling a little bored with your wardrobe choices, just try mixing unlikely hues together. This will result in wearing items together that you never have tried before, and hopefully offer a whole new perspective when it comes to your clothing. If you are finding that your color options are limited in your current closet, go shopping for inexpensive accessories. Even a pop of color with a scarf can add so much!

Outfit Breakdown:
Cardigan: J.Crew (Save. Spend. Splurge.)
Dress: c/o Five Bamboo (Same.)
Belt: Thrifted
Shoes: Gap (Save. Spend. Splurge.)
Necklace: Purchased in Grand Cayman (Save. Spend. Splurge.)

Hair:
Curled the ends in various directions using a 1.5″ curling iron.

Sightseeing style.

May 14, 2012

I confess, I actually wore this outfit a couple of weeks ago but we didn’t have a chance to get pictures before I spilled on it, so I decided to wear it again! This time I ate lunch at home before getting dressed, just in case.

This outfit makes me feel like I should be strolling around in some city in Europe while peeking into the shops that line the streets. The comfort of the sweater, skirt, and heels, are perfect for a day of sightseeing. Yes, you heard me, I said the heels are comfortable. Why? Because they are Naturalizers. I could wear these for days on end and have no issues. They are the perfect travel shoe!

Speaking of travel, Kai and I decided on St. Kitts for our upcoming vacation. We are going in July, and it’ll be the perfect re-charge for us considering it takes place when we are in the middle of our wedding season. I have a post featuring our first wedding of the season almost ready for publication, so be sure to check the photography blog later tonight!

Outfit Breakdown:
Sweater: LOFT (Save. Spend. Splurge.)
Skirt: H&M (Save. Spend. Splurge. <– 60% off!)
Shoes: c/o Naturalizer (Save. Spend. Splurge.)
Earrings: c/o INPINK (Same.)
Watch: Skagen (Save. Spend. Splurge.)
Bangles: Secondhand, Thrifted (Similar.)
Bracelet: c/o INPINK (Same.)
Purse: J.Jill (Save. Spend. Splurge.)
Nail Polish: OPI “Elephantastic Pink”

Hair:
Spun into a high bun and secured with a hairband and bobby pins.

What do you think? Is this outfit too dressy for a tourist? What do you like to wear when you travel?
