03 Apr Turning Heads Linkup – Lilac Spring Outfit and Poshmark Deals
Hello Ladies!
Well, this weekend we had some sun in Charlotte! Since I took some days to recuperate from my NYC trip, I was then ready to get out of the house! I thought i would put use my new scarf from Charming Chariles with it’s blue, lavendar, pink and olive tones to use. I wanted to style an outfit around it, and knew my Ann Taylor dress, i had purchased from Poshmark, a few years ago, would go perfectly!
I hope everyone had a lovely Easter day. We had planned on having my sister’s family over, but my neice was sick. So, we spent a friday and Satr going out with the puppies and exploring some areas of our city. There was an event Saturday at our local D9 brewery, with music, food trucks, and doggies.. Since i am not a beer drinker, my options are usualy “red” or “white’. This time, it was Chardonnay, or Malbec! Oooh, fan-cy!!
We took these pics with the sun out, as my hubby likes to get photos with the sun behind us as it shines down on my hair. I have had this dress for some years, and it is so easy to wear, I love to dress it up with additional layers and color. After i styled it with the scarf, I chose to wear one of my other favorite moto jackets. This is from Anthropologie, and the ruffle detail on the back, and quilted detail on the shoulder, caught my eye. I also love the teal color . i told you I had a thing for moto jackets, as this is what i wear often when its cold in Charlotte. The jacket is from Anthro, but i bought it also from Poshmark for a steal! Three items out of my outfit are all from Poshmark, where i have found some great deals! If you haven’t read my post on What it Is and How to Shop on Poshmark, you can!

Speaking of Posh steals, this new Rebecca Minkoff bag was just the thing i was looking for. i came across it, as it was a similar style from the one that Amy and Cheryl have, although it is off white. i just couldn’t resist the braiding and the tassels! I got it for for $50 dollars shipped, and love a smaller bag sometimes, where things don’t get lost at the bottom of the bag.
I love to be able to take existing items in my closet, and create a new look. i really think that is what fashion is about, and how I can be creative.
Have a great day!

Posted at 02:05h, 04 AprilI always love your colour combinations. You’ve inspired me to wear green with one of my new dresses… two, actually. I wouldn’t have thought to pair either with green till I saw this post.
Jess Jannenga

Posted at 00:03h, 04 AprilHa, my boyfriend also drags me to places where there is “red” and “white” wine, so I’m glad you had your choice of actual varietals for Easter! Super cute dress, too, and I love how you’ve styled it with the floral scarf.

Happy Tuesday Jess!

Your jacket is so cute and I now have “moto jacket envy”! The scarf is the piece that ties it all together and the look is beautiful! Well, done! – Amy

Posted at 15:26h, 03 AprilLavender is a great color on you, Jess. I like it paired with the green jacket and scarf. Green and lavender is not a color combination I might think of pairing, but you look beautiful and it makes me want to give the combo a try! Love that scarf, also! Thanks for hosting the link party.

Posted at 09:08h, 03 AprilI love Poshmark!! One of my favorite designer bags that I bought came from there, and it was completely authentic and about 1/2 the price..which made it even better. It has a few scuff marks, and wasn’t perfect..but no one would even know it! Love this super cute look on you, Jess…we both got the lilac memo today! xo

Posted at 06:56h, 03 AprilOk. I got to the line that your husband likes to get photos of you with the sun shining down on your hair and had to go straight to comments. How sweet is that?? And I love to hear about hubbies that are able to support and help their wife live their dream. Anyway, your dress is almost as lovely as your hair and I agree – it’s perfect with your new scarf. Have a wonderful week!

Posted at 06:48h, 03 AprilI love these colours on you, Jess! The scarf is so pretty. I’m obsessed with scarves so I am drooling over this lol!

Posted at 06:46h, 03 AprilWow, I can’t believe you got all of that from Poshmark! Great finds! I love that dress, both the color and the cut. The detail on that jacket really makes it special, no wonder it’s from Anthro! I can’t afford their prices but I love their pieces. Your scarf ties it all together. Love the color on your nails too – Spring perfect from head to toe Jess!
