Pretty Lace and Green Baubles...

Lace is one of those types of materials that really tricky to style. It's either way too sexy for casual everyday wear and runs the risk of appearing sleazy if you know what I mean... OR it can run the risk of looking like grandma's favorite thrift store tablecloth.

And I'm not fond of either of those visuals.

As a matter of fact, lace wasn't even close to my radar until recently when I found some gorgeous lace dresses on the clearance rack at Target.

Then there was this....

Lace Shirt-gifted

I fell in love with this pretty lace shirt when my Mother gave it to me for Christmas. I immediately began thinking of ways to style it.

Being that it fit a little large on me I decided to layer it with one of my favorite thrifted blazers.

Of course since we are in the middle of March and the weather is still a bit cold I layered the lace over a plaid button up.

Button Up-Thrifted

I love this time of year because I get to layer many pieces and get the maximum use out of my wardrobe.

Layering also allows me the option of not having to wear a heavy coat when shopping or hanging out with friends.

To keep up with the St. Patrick's Day festivities I threw on some green skinnies (last styled here). If you haven't noticed by now, I love playing with color. These androgynous colors went so well together. I'm definitely thinking of more ways to pair the two shades.

This look wouldn't have been complete without my super favorite riding boots. I wear them with everything. I'm sure I will wear them well into the Spring season so be prepared to be totally sick of them by Springs end.

What's that one piece of clothing in your closet that you just can't get enough of?

I can't wait to hear from you.

Thanks for reading.

Pearls and Animal Prints...

Happy Wednesday my loves. 

I hope everyone is off to a good start today. 

I apologize about not being able to post sooner but I have been extremely under the weather. It just seems as if no matter where I turn germs are flying and snot is running-literally!!

Needless to say, I've been doped up on meds and covered in Vapor-Rub with a gigantic bottle of sanitizer by my bedside.

Before this sickness took over my life I was able to go out for a much needed dinner with one of my girlfriends. 

This is what I wore...

Let me tell you that I have been DYING to wear this pearl sweater. I picked it up for $1 at my local thrift and fell head over heels in love with it since first seeing it. 

Sweater-Thrifted (Forever 21)

I wanted to keep it simple yet add a touch of edginess so I paired it with gray skinnies to create a monotone look.

Skinnies-Platos

On my feet I wore these babies...

Shoes-Ebay (Steve Madden)

The leopard heels reminded me to join in with Marion over at MarionBerry Style for her 

Trend of the Month Challenge. This month she's focusing on animal prints. 

Isn't she thee cutest!?

Once again I wore this thrifted bag. Sure I don't have on any gold but I figured that it would bring out the brown color in the shoes.

Purse-Thrifted

I would wear this bag everyday if I could! 

Well, actually for the last couple of outfit posts, I have!

I can't get enough of it.

It makes me smile!

Almost as much as this pearl adorned sweater!

Which piece of clothing are you dying to wear this season?

I can't wait to hear from you!

Thanks for reading.

XOXOXOXO
