Cable Knit

I truly believe that cardigans are more versatile than you would think. For this outfit, instead of throwing on a blazer, for work, like I normally would, I thought a cable knit cardigan, with elbow patch details, would be the perfect alternative. It makes the look a little more casual, without losing any professionalism. Cardigans don't always have to be a cover-up, they too can make an outfit!

The Favorites

Wearing my current favorite items in rotation at once gives me a feeling that can't be beat. Maybe it's just me, and some sort of disease, where I am far too attached to my clothing- but I usually wear my emotions, and on this day I was feeling pretty damn good.

I also woke up with my hair in perfect curls, and volume- which very rarely happens, so that may also have something to do with it!

Trend-Spotting: Scarf Print

(image)

A trend that will blend seamlessly from Summer to Fall is the scarf print trend. Much like the current floral print... everything... we've been seeing, the scarf print often is reminiscent of floral and paisley prints, but can be earthier- perfect for cold weather layering! A dress can be worn now with some neutral sandals, and later with tights, socks, and booties. A pencil skirt is always perfect for the office, now with a flowy blouse, and later with a turtleneck sweater, and wide leg pants are always seasonally appropriate!

Floral on Floral

Happy Monday! This week is going to be crazy hectic for me, I'm not looking forward to it :-/

Tried to go for some floral on floral print mixing in this outfit. The pants are almost like a neutral, so I thought it would be fun to go for more busy print up top. I kept everything in the neutral color family to help from having things clash, and I think the pairing worked out quite well. How about you?

Clashing

After seeing a few people mix leopard and floral prints together, and falling in love with the look, I wanted to try my hand at it. I've concluded that it definitely takes a lot of confidence, and guts to pull it off, but it's something I definitely would do again. Both prints are loud, but neutralizing it with a black jacket and nude heels helped pull the look together. What do you all think?

Currently Craving: Black and White Florals

J Brand Floral Skinnies

While I've already purchased a brighter and bolder floral pant, here, I can't stop lusting over this black and white pair. They are much more modest, and when the trend ends, these can still be worn in your regular denim rotation.

Watercolor Blooms

Happy Monday everyone! I hope your weekend was nice and relaxing. Now that it is officially Spring, I seriously cannot get enough of floral prints. The cheeky cutouts on this blouse makes it all the more fun. I though pairing this blouse with relaxed jeans, and my new favorite booties, was the perfect way to go for a laid back, yet slightly dressed up look.

Winter Florals

In an effort to hold onto the idea that Spring is just around the corner, despite the temperature, I wore my flounciest, brightest, most Spring appropriate dress...with a few layers of course. With the popularity of button-up blouses under sweaters holding strong, I thought why not translate the concept to dresses? It's the perfect way to add warmth, and some quirkiness, to your favorite sundress. The best part is that unlike a sweater layered over the dress, the blouse under allows you to show off the dress in it's entirety.

Pattern Play

When I'm stumped on how to dress due to the fickle weather in San Francisco, a maxi skirt or dress is the way to go. It's enough coverage to keep you warm, but still breezy if it ends up being warmer than expected. Yesterday I left the foggy climate of the Richmond district for the sunshine and heat of Union Square and was perfectly comfortable for the transition in this outfit!

I also liked how the stripes of the skirt compliment the fan pattern on the blouse. They do not clash at all- instead they hold their own and blend beautifully...In my opinion that is...

Blazer: Thrifted. Blouse: Anthropologie. Beaded flower necklace: Anthropologie. Maxi Skirt: Forever21. Green beaded cuff: World Market. Shoes: Miss Albright (Anthropologie)

LOVE these peep-toes! Super comfy and

super cute!

I also treated myself to something new while downtown yesterday...

These guys were on sale ($39) at Zara so I had to snatch them up.

Also, a fellow blogger featured my Sunny Saturday post this morning. Check it out here! The Anthropologie Connoisseur has a great eye for styling so I recommend taking the time to look through her posts.
