So Many Spring Colors

March 12, 2014 by Nikki No Comments

So many spring colors | NCsquared Life

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!

Black and Blue | NCsquared Life

The weather briefly warmed up a bit and I could wear this cute skirt and thin tights without freezing my tooshie off.  Nick picked out the skirt because he has awesome taste and I know he would want me to let you know that. My favorite thing about it is the bow in the front. When I tuck my shirt into skirts, it sometimes feels too plain, like a belt is needed as a completer piece.  But this bow adds that little something extra and makes the skirt even more cute.

I wore this to have coffee and talk wedding shop with my best friend who is getting married this summer, which is so exciting! Then I wore it to dinner for Nick’s mom’s birthday. I’ve been trying to find more pieces that can be dressed up or down and this skirt is perfect for that.

I love the way the wedge ankle boots look with this outfit, but I decided to change into heels for dinner. The heels are more dressy than the boots, which is what I wanted in a dinner look. I would also wear the heels in the office for a more professional look.
