Color Brights

Another event, another outfit. I do love these excuses to get dressed up on the weekends. I had a different outfit planned than what I am wearing here in this post, something lighter a little more springy. It ended up being too chilly for that outfit so I went with layers in color blocked brights and of course classic black to tie the look together. The sunglasses were to hide the fact that I wasn't wearing eye makeup (had a scratch by my eye).  P.S. J. Rose Style will be hosting its first giveaway come back Friday March 16th to enter.

I'm so cool I can barely stand...myself.  Just a disclaimer I'm not that cool. Five seconds before the photo snapped I was tripping over those daffodils.

I look a little surprised, which is weird since I had the remote to take the picture.

A hint of arm party peeking out of my jacket.

I had the Flavor Flav size clock, but I recently downsized to this lovely vintage looking number.

Bloggers Do It Better: Neon Neutral

After participating in my first Bloggers Do It Better challenge last month I was psyched for the next one.  I waited in eager anticipation for Kristina over at Pretty Shiny Sparkly to post about this month's challenge.  Well last week Kristina proclaimed that "Neon and Neutral" was the theme for this Bloggers Do It Better challenge.  Initially I was stumped, I had the neutral covered in my closet, but the neon not at all.  As I was running errands I started seeing neon every where. At the fabric store I picked up lovely neon pink notions to use as accessories and at target I found an adorable lemon yellow cardi.  Well I had my neon and my neutral, the question was can a girl who likes subdued colors pull off neon? I'll let the pictures be the judge.

Outfit Chronicles: Casually Committed

I love casual wear as much as the next person, can't beat the relaxed feel and the comfort of laid back cotton clothing. Unfortunately casual wear can suffer from several sartorial pitfalls. One, it can look sloppy if it's wrinkled, stained or the wrong size. Two, it can look too mundane, t- shirt and khaki's are very common.  How can you set your look apart  and be seen as the unique individual that you are when you are swimming in a sea of casual khaki wearers? As you will see the the difference is in the details.
