Daily Oufit: In the Name of Spring






Sunny days...just having a little fun with plaid, ruffles, gold fringe, and pops of chartreuse. All built around some basic denim. I admit to getting a little excited every time these zippered ankle jeans come out to play with my ballet flats...it means warm weather is a-coming! And I honor that thought with a bright bloom in my hair. Ha.

Let's switch topics to something that's been on my mind...and maybe yours: the H&M floral pants that have been showing up in every magazine around. I scoped them in Lucky, Allure, and Glamour...and they all quoted the price point at $50. Undeterred by the price and popularity, Sesheta and I hit H&M on Friday. There happened to be a huge stack of the very same pants, just put out right in front of the entrance. They were literally flying off the shelf at $14.95. Why the price change? I don't really know...and sadly they didn't have my size left. After checking out another H&M location today with no luck I returned back to the first one in hopes of finding a pair to call my own (and avoid eBay stalking!) Well ladies, let's just say I have myself some pants...oh and a skirt too. What...at these prices it's really hard to resist. It's all in the name of Spring. Ahem- right Sesheta??!

Daily Outfit: Coated Jeans, Meet Punk Prepster







Last night I slept with my mouth open, a sure sign that I'm battling a winter cold. Nothing like sharing some new fashion inspiration to get me in a better mood! Inspiration had arrived on my doorstep in the form of these teal jeans (thanks to eBay) and I couldn't wait to style them. 

Going matchy-match with this teal plaid button down was an easy decision, layered with a supersoft cable knit sweater (a steal at the Gap for $10 in-store) and finished off with our latest bold statement necklace- Black Mamba. It's a modern piece with lemon briolettes, gold chain, silky threads, and rhinestone sparkle; what more could a girl want?! I loved the leathery look and skinny fit of these pants...seems like this day-ready ensemble resulted in something a little preppy, and a little punk.

With that, I'm gonna put my sick self back into bed and rest up.
