Since Gretchen Weiner is supposed to stop trying to make fetch happen, I’ll just have to say that my new spring blouse and clutch are clutch. Or awesome/cool/amazing/etc. . But seriously, I LOVE this clutch; it has a removable chain strap so it can either be a clutch or crossbody bag. Perfection as a bag.

There are so many spring colors going on in this outfit: pink, orange, green, blue, yellow, purple… and you can never go wrong with pearls. What I’m most excited about is that I’m able to wear this top with so  many of my blazers. Here I’m wearing it with pink, but I can also wear it with coral, navy, and ivory blazers, as well – all of which I have. I have a lot of blazers. I wore this outfit to a meetingwith my professor about possible internships this summer. Fingers crossed that something turns up!

This clutch is clutch!

And here’s the fun one:

Don’t mind me. I’m just showing off my bare legs and enjoying the warm breeze. I’m soaking up all of the nice weather we’ve been having lately!

Let’s talk about pattern mixing for a second. Honestly, I’m terrified of pattern mixing, but I think I’m getting the hang of it. I think the key is to keep the patterns simple and in the same/coordinating color palette. Of course, I could be completely wrong and if so, someone please tell me how to do it better!Either way I think this outfit turned out pretty well, and I like it. That’s all that matters. I wore it to Nick’s office and then to out lunch. I can’t wait for the weather to be warm all the time so I can wear it more often.

And here’s the fun one:

This is not a suit. It looks likes one, though, which is great because it works really well as a spring/summer interview or office outfit without having to spend a ton of money on an actual suit. All you need is black crop trousers (or slacks) and a black blazer, and just about any blouse would look excellent with it. The secret is to make sure the blacks match as closely as possible. For this outfit, both the blazer and trousers are from Banana Republic so I was pretty confident they would be the same color.

By the way, I’m loving this blouse. Nick picked it out and surprised me with it and it’s perfect for spring, really comfortable, and really versatile. I can’t wait to wear and style it more.

Sometimes you just need to walk barefoot in the grass!

This is basically my new favorite outfit but with a black skirt instead of jeans. The temps dropped again so I needed something a little warmer than a maxi skirt, and next time I’ll wear tights. I LOVE wearing this vest with this sweater because it feels like they were made for each other. Please excuse the wrinkles in the skirt; I wore it to campus which means I had to sit in the car for a few hours. As with many things in life, wrinkles are just inevitable.

And here’s the fun one: or at least as fun as I could get:

What do you do when it’s sort of warm and sunny but there’s still a chilly breeze? Well, I wear a maxi skirt with ankle boots and a huge knit scarf. I’ve only recently started wearing maxi skirts and maxi dresses because I’m  so short and was afraid they wouldn’t fit or they would make me look even shorter. But, as it turns out, they’re pretty awesome even for the shorties like me (especially when they come in petite sizes!). In my opinion, maxi skirts are one of the most comfortable pieces of clothing you can wear and fun prints make them even better. I’m surprised I don’t have more.

Oh, hi there.  Did I just pull my hair up and make the sun shine brighter? Why, yes I did! In full disclosure, I took the first few photos myself with my tripod and the self-timer – apparently, they don’t make a remote for my camera yet – and, as you can probably see, they turned out a little blurry. I just happened to be wearing this outfit again (because it’s so comfortable) so I made Nick snap a few more, brighter photos. I hope that’s not too weird.

And here’s the fun one: I’m twirling!
