There isn’t much color in this photo. Some days are just like that. There’s a pop of red in the lining of my trench, which you can see in the bottom photo, and there’s green/mint in the necklace, but I went straight up neutral. If I had red flats, I probably would’ve put those on instead. I wore this outfit on Sunday to meet up with my group to prepare for a presentation this week, and I wasn’t really inspired to wear color, especially since I was just going to be sitting in the library for a few hours.

BUT. There’s more to these flats than meets the eye. They have little, shiny studs that catch the light and sparkle. So I may not be wearing color, but I’m technically wearing sparkle, and in my opinion, that’s the true spice to life!

And here’s the fun one! Does this photo make anyone else think of a flasher? Ooops!

After three days of frigid temperatures with snow and ice accumulation, the sun came out and it felt like spring. I was so excited that my bare legs made an appearance. But I added the boots because it was still in the 50s, so let’s not get crazy. I love these boots but they’re not great for everyday casual. Also, this skirt is sequined chevron. Sequined. Chevron. Two awesome trends in one, AND I bought it on sale. Winning all around.  I wore this outfit to dinner. It wasn’t a fancy dinner but I wanted to dress up without going overboard and this is what I came up with. I’ve worn this color combo recently but when you find something that works you should stick with it!

This top is special because it’s mostly white but it has this gold trim around the neckline AND it has navy stripes aroundthe sleeves and bottom. You’ll see more of it later, I promise!

I’m a little ashamed to admit that this is my first trench coat. How is that even possible? It was love at first sight, though, because of the adorable flair at the bottom. There’s something about a trench that feels so classy and grown up so it’s about time that I have one. Spring is going to be so much fun this year!
