Daily Fashion Show: Bring in the Spring

True to my girly roots, I decided to bust out some bright pink socks today and pair it up with pink colored jewelry to bring in the spring.



I absolutely love the floral print of this dress. It's so fresh and springy and looks great with my pink socks.



The pink jewelry really helped tie everything together. I paired my super chunky "rock candy" necklace and a fabric flower ring. Candy and flowers, perfect for a girly girl!



Hope you all had a wonderful start to the week and get to enjoy the warmer weather!

Daily Fashion Show: Pretty Hippie

Today I did hippie my way, with vintage-inspired colors, an adorable flower clip, flares, and cowboy-esque booties.



I was never really one for muted browns and oranges, so why not spice it up with seafoam green? It's springy and refreshing! And what's even better is that I found a clip to match. I also sported a few vintage jewelry pieces to give me some sparkle.



I've always really loved flared jeans and am super pumped they are coming back. They just make your legs look great and aren't as limiting like skinny jeans. I also really like the cowboy boot look, but these booties really are great and a subtle way to wear this trend.

Last, I wore this amazing top as a crop today. It has an elastic band waist so you can pull it up or down depending on how you want to wear it. I thought it was a great way to get into that 70's look while still staying true to my vintage girl roots.

Weekly Secret Weapon: How to Wear Cropped Pants

To celebrate the warmth we've been getting in Chicago, I decided to kick it off this week by wearing some cropped pants. I love them, but always have a hard time finding things to wear with them. Solution? Ankle socks!




The addition of ankle socks really helped with this ensemble. I think I've always been freaked out about the pants. They are very cute and flattering, but something always holds me back. I think I just got the confidence I needed though with the socks. They somehow made me feel as though I wasn't wearing crops, plus, they were super cute and added great texture.





Anklets also look great with a dress and open toed shoes. Perfect for weather that isn't dependable. Give it a try!

Daily Fashion Show: Rocker Chic

I seriously rocked this Monday. It was rough but I made it through. And honestly, I don't think I could have done it without my leather jacket and bright red lips!



I've never really been into lipstick, but when I got a giftcard from MAC and saw the amazing Wonder Woman collection, I just had to give in and give it a try.



My shoes seriously made the ensemble. These really do rock. They are stilettos and wedges, with a shiny spike heel. Plus, they are black and bronze so they are extremely versatile.

Hope you all had a rockin' Monday (and love my new curtains!).

Daily Fashion Show: Babydoll

So my man told me I looked like a doll today. I think he meant the toy, not in a terms of endearment way, but nevertheless, I sported around in my bobby socks and mary jane's like I was back in elementary school.



I thought the combo was fun today, lots of florals and texture, especially the contrast between my super fuzzy sweater and my smooth and shiny silk dress.



Close up of the bobby socks. Now all I really need is a pair of saddle shoes and I really am back in elementary school. But what's wrong with that? I was an ultra-girly girl then, and still am!



Last but not least, I paired my skinny stretch belt with a golden rose closure with the ensemble today for one last touch. Overall, I do say that I looked like doll...you know what I mean!

Daily Fashion Show: Leopard Girl

Ok, so seriously, I need to get another pair of pants I can wear to work. Not that I don't love wearing shorts, I do, but it so cold here in IL. Thank God for tights, eh?



Today's ensemble was all about playing up leopard by accenting with browns and blacks, and of course a girly touch, bows!



This amazing pin is from my Grandmother's collection and I proudly wear it when I can. I love the cherry blossoms in it, especially paired with the leopard. It gives the ensemble a fun factor.



Isn't my hair crazy today? I ran out of hairspray so it got all poofy. Luckily it's not humid yet but you never know, it's IL and crazier things have happened in our seasons!

What a breath of fresh air...flowers, that is. Up and down the mall and Internet I've seen nothing but soft pales and floral prints. My favorite part of this trend is all of the flower embellishments, especially on the shoes. Seriously, how could an ultra-girl like me not? So this Spring season, don't be afraid to be softy!
