In Bloom

I pretty much rule out purchasing anything short sleeved in the winter months, as it’s just too chilly in Minnesota.  But I loved this dress for the soft and varied colors, the comfy fabric and the interesting pattern shift between the front and back. It helps that we’ve had some days in the past few weeks so warm that even the buds on some of the trees are confused (see picture below), making me want to reach for an outfit such as this as opposed to the usual uniform of layers upon layers.

Black and Cream

A leather skirt (faux or otherwise) doesn’t fit well into my relatively conservative office life or my comfy with kids home life, but I really liked the length and style of this, especially with the tiny pin dot detail. I like to give it a casual look by pairing it with a favorite striped tee and jean jacket.  DSC_4172_edited-1

Marsala Just Missed

Marsala has been tagged a hot color for 2015, which wasn’t top of mind when I purchased these pants (which while perhaps not right on point with the hue, are certainly in the family). I just loved the comfortable style and was limited in color options available at the time I ordered. I personally find the deeper, red-brown tones harder to work with for an outfit compared to, for example, the bright cherry reds of summer. I do love the white, black and charcoal combo through – with anything really, but particularly when set off by a dark red. No doubt the fashion options for marsala will explode in the coming months, so we’ll see if any other things make it into my closet.
