Hello friends,I hope you enjoyed your Easter Weekend. I wouldn't say my style has changed persay, but it has evolved. I love structured pieces and am adding pieces for Spring and Summer with some structure and neutral tones. Less, florals, more gingham and neutrals. Today, I chose pieces from my closet, including this secondhand white blazer, to create this neutral look.
This is the first year in about 3 years, that Spring hasn't immediately turned to Summer, here in Charlotte, NC. Typically, we may get two weeks of cooler weather and rain, and then Boom! It's 85 degrees in April. Well, Spring has been here, albeit more rain that I want, but cooler temps and flowers abound. I am wearing a thrifted Ann Taylor sheath dress styled with a bright floral scarf and white jacket, mixing prints in the process.
Some of you may know that I am part Irish. You may not know, or if you have been reading the blog for a while, you know I am also part Ukrainian. The Ukrainian traditions are ones we loved to uphold as my siblings and I grew up, as my Grandma ( I called her "Gummy" couldn't say Grandma, and "Pap" my Grandpa,) celebrated. I wanted to wear my Easter best today and styled this bold floral print dress.
You know I love my accessories. Bold statement pieces still do appeal to me, however, if I want an everyday, classic look and delicate pieces, fine jewelry and classic styles do make my heart sing. AURate a fine jewelry company, from NY, has wonderful pieces at affordable prices, as this beautiful circle necklace will show!
Morning Ladies! It is funny. I seemed to have acquired more snakeskin pieces even without thinking about it as a trend, years ago. I love the neutral print, and how smart it looks with any color, like leopard . I put together this look as I have seen blush and snakeskin together and just love this soft color palette.
Morning ladies!
I hope you all enjoyed a weekend and had a taste of Spring in your neighborhood. We had some nice days and the weather is approaching around 70, so I'll take it! One of the things I think of with Spring weather is brighter colors and florals, not to mention, lighter wash denim jeans. I am also styling a darling pair of woven white leather sandals from Jambu, called the Sandy.
Spring is in the air! I am just waiting to sit outside on our deck and work on the blog. Nothing like waking up to the sound of birds chirping and sunshine. Today I am styling a dress from my closet, a lilac sheath with a silk scarf and peachy heels for some colorful Springtime ensemble.
