Preparing for Spring

Who else is loving this amazing weather! I am dusting off my sandals and showing off my blinding legs here and I couldn't be happier. Even with the arrival of spring it can tend to be a bit chilly at times. This lightweight jacket is the perfect combo with this ensemble to keep off the chill and to add a urban edge to the look. 

The shoes I have on I got on major sale last fall so I wasn't able to wear them that much before the cold set in; so I can't wait to pair these with so many more outfits! They are extremely comfortable and add a great casual  tone to any dress or skirt combo. 

What pieces are you excited to wear this spring that you didn't get to last year?

Work Wear

Outfit Details:

blazer: Target (similar and on sale!!)

top: Express

pants: Rachel Roy

pumps: Coach (similar or similar)

purse: Danielle Nicole via Hautelook (similar)

This look is a great work outfit that is comfortable, yet still polished and professional. These black jeans are my absolute favorite that I have been able to find over the years! This is my second pair, since the first has become a bit faded; so I am going to keep these as my nicer pair and the more worn in ones for more casual wear. They aren't the least expensive pair of pants, but I promise they are truly worth the price because they fit curves well without gaping around the waist. 

With the black jeans I paired a "swazer" over top of my chambray top. This combination changed up the usual tee -"swazer" action and helped to keep me warmer since the weather was still chilled. Lastly I chose to pair this whole ensemble with my nude Coach pumps to add a chic, feminine touch to the whole look. A true expression of my personal style, at least one aspect of it, chic, feminine, comfortable and eclectic. 

What does your typical work wear say about your personal style?
