spring part deux

As I promised I'm back to show you a couple different looks and ways to wear the floral trend. Believe me I wanted to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe (but this blog is called within your means after all.) As for the mint and polka dots I found some excellent pieces that wont break the bank.

This necklace is definitely a statement piece so let it do the talking. Wear it with a basic t-shirt or tank

Love this, not only is it an infinity scarf but it has fringe all for the affordable price of 6.50

This cable knit sweater is adorable, and I wish I would have taken a picture of the chere back.

I took this floral/thermal long sleeved shirt that I bought at Target today and paired it with rust colored denim, nude heels, a blue blazer, and some pearls. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that the shirt only cost me 4 dollars. I love finding treasures like this and mixing it with edgier pieces.



For this look which a little dressier I'm wearing a red blue and white flowy floral skirt with a blue and white striped off the shoulder shirt. I love mixing prints together and will always do this trendy or not :)  If you aren't comfortable mixing patterns you could wear a neutral colored blouse. For jewelry I have on a red, turquoise, and tan stoned necklace with a teal colored watch



These shoes are amazing and only cost me 8 dollars at Target. Everyone should own a pair of nude or tan heels

If you don't think your ready for any of the looks above you could always ease into it and wear a headband


*all the mint pieces above are from Forever21

spring ahead

I wish there was a fast forward button to get to spring. All the magazines and retail store fronts are screaming bright colors and resort wear. I put together some trends that are going to be popular this up coming season. Ill have some pictures from my own wardrobe wearing these pieces later in the week.

The polka dot trend is back in full force, you can wear a simple silk blouse with the retro print and dress it down with a pair of jeans, skirt, or even some high waisted white shorts. You could also mix colors and dot sizes for a very chic look.

I just read were mint green is going to be the new it pastel, and I couldn't be more excited about this. I am in love with all shades of green and will be rocking this trend for sure.

This spring is all about beautiful prints mixed with bold vibrant colors. You can wear this trend on a dress, flowy top, or a swing skirt.
