Outfit Post!

I like to always try and wear a classic, timeless look. It's elegant, effortless and always pulled together, and it's what I feel most confident in- which is my style philosophy. Trends come and go {and usually circle back again lol} but the current in style looks might not be best for you. I really believe that you always have to work with whats right for you and makes you feel your best.

Lately I've been feeling so repetitive with my outfits. I was lacking creativity with my wardrobe, which always leaves me reaching for solid colors...usually black. But with the change of season, I've been starting to feel inspired again, adding colors, prints, and being more creative with the way I wear my clothes.

Love Maegan, wore a rose print dress last week, and I thought what a perfect outfit and opening to spring it was. {Thank you for the inspiration... yet again Maegan! } I knew I had a flower print dress somewhere put away with my other 'not currently wearing' stuff. I've never worn this dress before, and turns out its actually reversible. I went with the larger flower print side, added a wide belt and leggings, because Wednesday started out fairly cold.

I'm not sure what brand the dress is, since its reversible there is no tag on it. The blazer is Express, leggings are from Target and Steve Madden belt. The heels are Calvin Klein, but I got them a few months back at DSW.

YAY FRIDAY! Have a great weekend! ;)

  13. This whole look is terrific. You look fabulous and I adore your hair. I couldn't agree more about having to take in account first & foremost your body style & if what is hot for the moment truly looks 'hot' on you. Now why didn't I learn that like 20 years ago?!

    Happy..happy weekend gorgeous!

  35. I'm with you on wearing classic styles. It's virtually impossible to be a fashion "don't" in a classic getup! You look beautiful in these photos! Just a little nod to a trendy legging is enough to be current, but doesn't take away from your elegant style.

  55. Fashion trend come and go but my rule of thumb is anything that is effortless and comfortable. Of course, being a mom of little kids, comfort is my number thing. I love leggings, they're so comfortable and versatile with anything. Love you put together outfit.
