spring's uniform.

merona floral blouse

old navy skinny boyfriend khakis

fioni carissa flats

we had some really warm days a couple weeks back and i wore nothing but outfits like this all week - short sleeved blouses and pants.  i'm so glad i've made an effort at expanding these types of tops in my wardrobe over the past year because they are exactly what i want to wear when it gets warmer outside.  target and j crew factory seem to be the stores where i locate the most short sleeved blouses, and though i've never purchased anything there before, jc penney seems to have a lot of nice options as well.  i'm sure as we transition into spring this outfit formula is all you'll see me wearing, but i would like to try to locate a few different styles of pants - either those that are more casual like these skinny khakis from old navy - or dress pants/ankle pants to make my outfits feel a little fresher.

do you have to mentally shift what you decide to wear based on the weather?

get the look:  similar blouse / exact khakis / similar flats / similar necklace

florals week (day 3)

merona blouse & wedges
mossimo slacks

{all thrifted target stock}

it feels a little weird to experience that first really warm day of the season, especially when you've been dealing with winter for the past six months and it snowed last friday, but that was today... 70!  i'm not quite ready to go bare-legged yet so i opted for pants today and this floral blouse so i can continue to join andi, brynn, and kate and the florals week they are hosting.  i really like that this blouse is more of an abstract floral pattern and pretty enough to stand on its on against some basic black slacks.

just a reminder that marissa and i are hosting our 3rd pantone-inspired color challenge next week.  here's the colors we chose this time around.  be sure to come back here to my blog on monday to link up!
