Spring Fling

Spring, spring spring! After a couple of weeks of nice weather in the 70s now the forecast warns of cold spells and even frost. I am not complaining. I know that compared to those of you up north who are still having snow, we are very lucky. Just a little worried about the dahlia bulbs that little VJ and I planted in our garden which just started peeking out of the ground. Is it just me or are you also over the cold weather?

Look: Wine Tasting

I love wine colors particularly merlot. It reminds me of the vineyards in Napa and Sonoma valleys. It pairs perfectly with black. I also like pairing it with pink, orange or you can go tone-on-tone.

Look: Punch of Red

Work outfits can be boring. Depending on what industry you work in, you can be limited to wearing suits and whatever restrictions your HR dictates. There are a few ways to add some color and style to your daily wardrobe. I will admit, I have a ton of black, white and grey in my closet. But I also have quite a few accessories that I accumulated over the years.

Using a red belt and a pair of red open toe pumps makes this otherwise dull outfit a little more fun. Don't you think?

top: Banana Republic
pants: Ann Taylor (get it here)
belt: Cole Haan (get it here)
shoes: Antonio Melani (similar here)

In what ways do you try to express your style without violating your office dress code?

Look: Black and White

If you live in Florida, then you can't really feel like it is fall yet. Transitioning from summer to fall is very gradual. With the weather being in the mid-80s during the day to low 70s in the evenings.  I am not quite ready to keep my summer clothes yet and at the same time I am eager to dress up for fall.

 I love this color block dress from Ann Taylor. I wear it as it is during warm days...

dress - Ann Taylor (get it here);
shoes - Banana Republic;
bag - Kate Spade;
accessories - Express

 During cooler days, I wear it as a tunic with opaque leggings and a pair of booties...

How did you transition your wardrobe from summer to fall?

Look: Winter Chill

Love our weather here in the south this week! In the low 40s and high 60s!

I like layering clothes since I can add more to what I am wearing when it is cold and take a layer or two off when it is warm. The key is to layer thinner tops and fitted tanks so as not to look chunky. Boots tucked under the jeans are very warm and comfortable. I opt for classic styles that will last me the whole year and that I can still wear the following year.

What I am wearing:
jacket: Tulle (Nordstrom)
jeans: Rock & Republic
tall boots: Dolce Vita
stripe tank: Banana Republic
white cardigan: (Dillards)
black cashmere scarf, black cocktail ring: BCBG MaxAzria
long silver necklace: Metropark
bag: Badgley Mischka

xs:
Please donate or say a prayer to all the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. There are still a number of people buried in the rubles.
