Daily Outfit: I'm On A Boat

How fun is this blazer? I found this 4 years ago in a heap of designer samples that I was selling off for a friend and decided to keep it for myself. The quirky sailboat print had me instantly smitten. Ever since, I happily break it out as soon as the weather turns warm.

 Now let's talk colored denim: I've been searching high and low for the perfect shade of red pants that could take me through summer, and found these at Madewell. Colorpop...what's in a name anyway? Ha! It wasn't easy to find a rich bright red with a hint of coral, but a girl knows what she wants- and I was on a mission. 

Two favorite pieces in one outfit!

Daily Outfit: She's Got Electric Blues

Let's just say it together, out loud: colored denim is a must-have for spring. And it's everywhere. Not surprising, I'm embracing it completely. I just love me some color. This isn't the first time around that this trend has hit- does no one remember the J.Crew Overdyed Matchstick Surplus jeans in soft pastel green from like 3 years ago? We had some good times together, but due to my compulsive wardrobe recycling habit we parted ways long ago. The good news is, since this trend is so huge there are affordable options everywhere...I give you the Legging Jeans from the Gap. In brilliant blue they are a dead ringer for the Paige Verdugo Ultra Skinnies that I was stalking (on eBay of course). The hunt is over...the color, the fit, and the feel of these are just what I wanted. 

So here's the look...colored denim, white tee, drapey cardigan. Add a leather jacket for some extra toughness and warmth. Are you building your colored denim collection this season? What's your favorite pair so far? I know Sesheta would say these...she has 'em too!

PFM Styling: Fur Vest & Denim, Take 1

This lovely faux fur vest found it's way into my collection and immediately I was overwhelmed (in a good way) by all the different styling possibilities! After recently discovering the blog Eat Sleep Denim, I was inspired to combine my love of winter layering with my love of denim and create two looks that are so easy to rustle up. 

For this first outfit, kick it off with your little denim dress. My dress happens to be an oldie, but a goodie. While on vacation in Vermont I wandered into a shop and there it was; it's a wardrobe essential that I love being able to re-work all year round. I'm wearing leggings, but opaque tights would also be an option. Chocolate knee-high boots add some interest and warmth...and let's keep the layers going with a striped knit turtleneck. I love that the alternating oatmeal and black stripes really bring out the color variations in the vest. The peacock feathers in my earrings add an unexpected flash of bright color. Finish with a fuzzy crocheted turban and you'll be textured and toasty! The look kinda speaks to my inner  "glamper" (glamorous-camper.) Or maybe it's just the scenery.

Stay tuned for Take 2 on Thursday!
