Chambray for the Workday
A chambray shirt might be more notably worn tied at the waist over a maxi dress or casually tucked into denim cut-offs for your weekend fun; however, with a pencil skirt, ladylike pumps, and a jacket, it can add some fun to your business casual attire, while still fitting in to the dress code.

Pantone on Tone
In revisiting my own archives, I stumbled upon this post where I discussed "tone on tone" via Diane Von Furstenberg's pre-fall 2011 lookbook and introduced the idea of using Pantone color charts to find which colors to wear to achieve the look. Now, almost two years later, I'm inspired all over again! Whether it's shades of pink, purple, red, or blue, it's safe to say that this escalation of color blocking is a sure fire way to ring in spring! Do yourself a favor and pile on pastels, neons, and brights in one color family from your ears to your toes.

Garden Unit
I know nothing of gardening, or having plants for that matter. I recently invested in three cacti from Ikea and I think they will survive because of the following:
1). You are supposed to water them only when they are really, really dry and therefore, don't require monitoring.
2). They need minimal sunlight, which in a garden apartment is the only kind of plant we can manage.
Now, if I knew how to plant things, I would have a garden full of lilacs, blush Gerbera daisies, and succulents, which would certainly match my outfit, but not my skill set.

Momma Wears...
Blog readers meet my mom. Mom say "hello" to the blogosphere. Just like my fiance, I've recruited her to be occasionally featured here for a bit of variety.
If there are two trends for spring/summer that I am pumped about it's neon yellow and mint, especially together! Since mint is one of my wedding colors, I'm drawn to anyway and it flows so well as a color blocking option with brights rather than only pairing them with the more expected neutrals, like black or white. As you can see, neon jeans and a flowy blouse in ivory with a mint scarf and gold accessories is perfect for a dinner out on the patio, which is just what we did during our trip to Tampa!

Spring Uniform
It's hard to believe (given the current weather), but couple weeks ago, it was sunny and 60 degrees. Therefore, I broke out what is sure to be my spring uniform - a jean jacket and some combination of cobalt, red/orange, and mint.
