Neon Love

1/2/3/4/5/6/7

I've been trying to add color into my wardrobe, and living in the cold Midwest, I've had to do that by layering. These pieces are versatile for spring, summer and into the fall. I definitely have my eye on the pink blazer and hope to add it very soon to my closet!

Mint Madness



Cardigan: Old Navy/ Blouse: Gap/Pants: NY & Co/Heels: Maurices

My co-workers told me I looked springy today. I love the color combo of mint and yellow. It feels so fresh. It also reminds me of our favorite resort, Couples Resorts. Our rooms are white and yellow and minty. Only 194 days until we're back! Too soon to count down?

Mellow Yellow



Pants: Old Navy/Button-up: NY & Co/Shirt: Old Navy/Boots: Maurices

Don't let the sunglasses fool you - it was 17 degrees outside when these pictures were taken. It's about 30 degrees below average still. I blame it on all the South Dakotans who complained last year that it was too warm. I rather enjoyed 60s and 70s in March. I bought this sweater a few years ago - yellow and a bow, how can you go wrong? 

On another note, this week I'm looking forward to March Madness! I'm a big follower of college basketball, more specifically the KU Jayhawks. I lived in Kansas nearly 5 years growing up, and wish I could convince my husband to move back with me. 

Rock Chalk ya'll!

March Wish List

Peplum: Express/Handbag: Handbag Heaven/Jeans: American Eagle/Shoes: Target
 
I'm really starting to get annoyed with winter. We had a 50 degree day last week, and it was amazing. We are back to cold weather and it doesn't look like it's going to warm up anytime soon. As my little man says, "Come on spring! Winter sucks!!". I guess I've been wearing off on him. These are a few of the items I am hoping to add to my closet this month.

I have my eye on peplums this spring and have yet to find one that works and is in my price range. I have my eye on this one from Express right now! It's available in a few different colors and am wanting to add a black one to my closet as well.

I have been looking for a handbag like the one above for ages that doesn't cost a fortune. Well, I found this beauty at Handbag Heaven a few weeks ago, and got it 35% off with free shipping. I opted to buy it for my early birthday presents since the price was too good to pass up. So what if my birthday is still, 2 months away, right?

I need a new pair of skinnies, and being 5'10" have trouble finding pants long enough. I also have a booty so try to find pockets that are flattering. I've fallen in love with American Eagle jeans. They are trendy, long, and you don't have to spend a fortune on them! I'm wanting a darker pair as well as a pair of skinnies with some distress to them.

Mint is my favorite color right now! I have a pair of mint heels that I adore, but have been on the hunt for a pair of mint flats as well. Thanks Target for helping me find the perfect pair! I will be buying these in the very near future!

Fancy Pants




Pants: NY and Company/ Sweater: Target/Shoes: Payless/Necklace: Ebay

Today was absolutely gorgeous! I was debating between pastels or my fancy pants. Fancy pants won. My choice of pants never ceases to surprise my husband or co-workers. Bright red pants last week, polka dots this week. I thought they were going to seizure when I walked by. Luckily there were no medical emergencies due to my pants today.

Black and White and Red All Over

 

 

 
When in doubt, black, white and red are my go-to. The weather has been so cold lately, and I'm struggling to be creative with my outfits while trying to stay warm. I'm so ready to break out my pastel pants and heels and pack my boots away for another year. What are your go-to colors?

Welcome to my blog! As a shopaholic, I've been addicted to fashion blogs for a few years now. I am starting this blog as a creative outlet, as well as a way to help me wear the endless amount of clothes in my closet. My husband thinks I'm a weirdo for taking pictures of myself...he obviously doesn't get the concept of a fashion blog. Pictures coming soon!
