spring ikat

I love a good biker jacket, and I really like when they come in colors besides the traditional black. I saw this mustard one, and immediately thought of this ikat tank, which is full of similarly subdued, yet saturated colors. Paired with cobalt jeans and patterned sandals, this combo is a great springtime look. Especially when you're feeling springy, but it's just not warm enough for shorts yet.

Outfit total: $193.29 (I decided I'd make myself do a little math, in case anyone is ever looking to buy the whole shebang)    

mismatched bridesmaids part two

For blogger's block, I wanted to have a styling challenge I could always come back to. I've decided to revisit my coordinated bridesmaid guidelines (it probably won't be the last time :) First blue chiffon, now sunset colored laces. The textures are varied-- a different lace for each lady-- but they are grounded in similar colors and accessories. I've kept the bracelets and earrings simple to avoid competing with the lace details each of these dresses has. Finally, I had to take advantage of all these  kicky coral and beige shoes on the market, though simpler gold shoes would also finish the look nicely.
