The weather's been so nice, I thought something colorful, casual and light today! Maybe it's the Spring coming on, but I'm a little bit in love with this outfit. I like the colors a lot, though I might choose a bigger pink purse. I just like pink, though.
The top is the Hold the Francophone Top from Modcloth. $30. It's a nice color and looks comfy and the text on the front is cute and fun.
Gloria Vanderbilt Avery Rail Straight-Leg Jeans from J.C.Penney's. $31. It's a dark denim with a straight leg and I thought some Gloria Vanderbilt jeans were a nice 80's flashback.
The Pearl and Ivory Bracelet from Stavroula I've shown before, so you could reuse it here. $19.
The scarf I found on ebay. It's something very lightweight so it'll make a lightweight, floaty and voluminous bow. The print on the scarf is whimsical and the color and lightness of the fabric is romantic, for Springtime. I struggled for a long time with wanting to wear scarves, but not being quite sure how to tie them gracefully. So, here's a link explaining how I would tie this one with this outfit. The internet knows everything. $7.
The jacket I found at Torrid. I almost used the gray asymmetrical jacket from Too Cool again, but with the big, slouchy shirt, I felt like wearing a jacket with some structure was important. It'll give some shape and moto jackets are flattering, generally, in my experience. Plus, the faux leather adds a different texture element and also it dresses it up more than a slouchy cotton jacket over a slouchy cotton shirt. $79. (This weekend, jackets are buy one, get one half off at Torrid. They seem to have good, regular sales online)
The Purse is from J.C. Penney's. It's a wristlet, which is tiny. Looking back, I should have looked for something bigger, but what's important is the pop of color. Specifically the bright pink. If not with the purse, you could go for a brighter pink bracelet or a bright pink headband or sunglasses or earrings. $21.
The shoes are again from DSW. The Aldo Precia Flat. $50. This is a shoe that you can get a lot of wear out of, too. Metallics are a nice way to do neutrals, it adds a little something interesting, and flats are easy to wear and comfy but look good for office wear, and can be worn with a variety of clothes like skirts or jeans or a suit.
