LBD Remix

The LBD is a Closet Staple.  Every Gal Should have 1 or 2 or even 3

Black isn't on my top 10 Colors to Wear, but I do Appreciate it's Timelessness, Slimming Effect & Go-With-Everything Factor.

Typical LBD Pairings are dressy:
Heels
Pearls
Clutches

To make the LBD more Utilitarian carrying it from Dressy to Casual Mix it with 

Less-Fancy Pieces:
Chambray Shirt
Wide Leather Belt
Flats

Riding Boots Tory Burch, Belt Talbots Similar, Calf-Haired Clutch Similar, Headband J Crew

Remix Your LBD with Casual Pieces

Stripes & Florals

Now that it's Spring, All I want to Wear are Florals.
Maybe it's the Trees Budding and Birds Singing or the Sunny Skies and Warm Weather.

Maybe it's that Wearing Florals Makes Me Feel Girly and Colorful

Just as Flowers Spruce Up Your Home, Tablescape and Make for Sweet Date Night Gifts from Mr ... They Also Freshen Your Look & Add Spring in Your Step

This Floral Skirt Caught my Eye for These Reasons:
Pencil Cut - Watercolor Floral Print - Peach Based Petals 

As Much as I Love Flowers it's Mutual When it Comes to a Nautical Motif.  Who Doesn't Love The Sea??
        I Mean it is my Second Time Living on the NC Coast (1st during my College Years) & We're a US Navy Family

This Navy Striped Top Caught my Eye for These Reasons: 
Navy - Panels - Cap Sleeve - Piped Seams

This Top is Made of Thick Fabric and Cut with a Slight Peplum... I was still able to Tuck it in without Bunching 
Panels are Essential in Good Construction.  These Panels Create Lots of Interest with the Multi-Directional Lines

With All the Pattern and Colors I Kept My Handbag & Pumps Neutral.

Now Mix Your Florals with a Classic Nautical Stripe ... Plum Perfection!

Fancy-Schmancy Pants

Every Gal Needs a Pair of Fancy Pants in their Closet.

They're a Great Alternative to a Snazzy Dress or Skirt.

Fancy Pants in a Straight Cut are Modern and Sleek, and a Great Choice when the Weather is Cooler.

The Metallic Brocade of these Pants gives some Shine to Your Strut and Freshened by the Soft Springy Mint Color.  The Vintage Feel & Look of this Fabric is very Reminiscent of the 1960's.

I wanted to Pair these Fancy Pants with a Saturated Color and this Silk Orchid Racer Tank was a Perfect Match.  I'm Loving Cut Aways Shapes on Tops & Dresses, it Shows Off Shoulders Nicely.

For a Casual Look, Pair your Fancy Pants with a Denim Shirt or Simple Tee.

This Outfit Definitely Incorporates Color - Pattern - Texture - Shine

Poppy & Purple are 2 Very Rich Colors.  They're Bright and Saturated and Just Plum Perfect Together!

I was Inspired to Combine these Two, Again from the Fabulously Colorful Kate Spade Gift Box.

I Added a Glitter Gold Belt to Break Up the Color Blocks and Add some 
Sparkle & Texture for More Fun.

I Couldn't Decide Between Nude or My Most Favorite Gold Pumps
Gold Totally Won!
