Fashion Friday – STILL waiting to bust out the summer wardrobe!

Happy Friday, everyone!

The weather was very crummy this week, but I was READY FOR SPRING! I chose outfits that incorporated ‘springy’ dresses with warmer pieces that would keep me comfortable in my FRIGID office!

By paring the short sleeve dress (yes, that is a dress, the pieces are attached!) with leggings, it becomes not only work appropriate, but also warm enough for the cooler temperatures.

  • Dress – Theory
  • Shoes – Calvin Klein

SO SIMPLE!

Next I paired a black and white summer dress with a warm, comfy cardigan. While I like the simplicity of black and white, I wanted to add a bit of personality. With the addition of a bold belt and bright shoes, I felt a lot more ‘springy!’

Lydia

Lydia

Welcome, Lydia! Thanks so much for joining us! I LOVE this outfit, My favorite pieces are the key necklace and the scarf. People, this is why you HOLD ON TO THINGS! See how much personality both of these pieces add to this outfit? I love the colors that Lydia has worked into the outfit, too. They play off each other so beautifully. LOVE the jewel-toned teal top.

BUSY weekend ahead of us!

Should be interesting… I might try and pick up some Spock ears for the Mister ;) — HA! we’d probably fit right in!

    Again, really enjoyed the Fashion Fridays. So much fun to read and to check out what other bloggies are wearing.

    I don’t think I can pull of the violet color shoes with the ensemble, but you rocked it (as always).

    I love how you wore the purple shoes with a green belt! I still have to work on not being so matchy. But I was raised on being matchy, hard to over come. I fight it every day LOL!

    i love the dress from talbots- its perfect for spring with the green belt! and the shoes are so sweet too- love the detail

    I always find i have to have pieces like that- nothing too funky, or trendy because i need it to last a few years.. that outfit is one of those!!

    Man, I am so jealous! Scientists never get to dress cute. I tried once and everyone assumed my IQ dropped for the day. How did I get the only job in the world where cuteness is a liability?

    p.s. LOVE the green belt ;)
