The Spring Scarf

 According to my weather app on my handy dandy IPhone, warmer temperatures are in my forecast. Thank you!!!!

With the coming of Spring, my mind starts to focus on one of my favorite spring fashion pieces.

The

Spring

Scarf

 

I love it.

Words. Can. Not. Describe.

 

Jeans, flats, tee, spring scarf, awesome bracelets

 

So, I thought I would share some of my favorites I am eyeing...

 

Multicolor Stripe Scarf from J.Crew
$55
LOVE



Wellington Chevron Scarf
Francescas
$18
I will admit, I'm a little tired of the all over chevron. But, on a scarf....


Pale Coral Striped Lurex Infinity Scarf
World Market (Did you know they have amazing scaves for cheap prices... because they do!)
$16.99
I have a love for an infinity scarf... I think I just love the ease of it.


Delightful Dot Square Scarf
LOFT
$34.50
The colors, the dots, and the stripes combined won me over.

 

Hmmm, all I want to do now is go by them. All of them. Maybe just one...

Spring Favorites

I have a shopping problem. They say admitting it is the first step. I don't know if I believe this anymore because I have been well aware of this fact for a long time with no steps taken forward. Oh well right.

According to the groundhog SPRING is right around the corner. (PRAISE!) With that, I have been up to my typical internet browsing looking  drooling at the bright colors, unique textures, and beautiful patterns. Here are some of my favorties...

Beautiful Trina Turk Museum Dress

Chris has a cousin getting married in Boston in July and I know this dress is calling my name. Unfortunately, the price tag and my husband majorly clash.

 

Splendid Stripe Maxi Dress

Running errands, lunch at the beach, play day with little man- I would wear this all summer!

 

J.Crew Shambray Shirt Dress

I tried this on the other day and I can't get it out of my mind. It was the perfect fit. I could wear now all the way into Fall. I love chambray. I love chambray. I love chambray. Maybe if I keep thinking about it, then it will just appear in my closet.

(Hint Hint... size 6 was the perfect fit so the buttons don't pull. Does that problem happen to anyone else? Button down tops/dresses anything I go up a size!)

 

J.Crew Peter Pan Merino Sweater

 

I love sweaters, I love stripes, I really love Peter Pan collars. Nuff said.

 

 

Okay, okay. Back to the real world. I shall drool no more.

40% Off

Some of you may know this... I am slightly addicted to shopping. Chris figured this out the hard way. Well I used to never look at sales... now in my married stage of life I always look at sales. One of my favorite stores is Ann Taylor Loft. My co-worker deals with this on a daily basis with me. It is so perfect for my life.... professional yet trendy enough for work, dressy enough for a contemporary church, comfortable for travel, and fun enough for social activities. I swear- if I woke up one day and was told it was the only store left in existence, I would be okay. So all week I've been getting e-mails about how everything is 40% off. 2 problems with this...
1- I'm on a two month clothing spending freeze. (sort of- I took one small detour on April 1st and bought an outfit) Other than that I have stuck to my freeze to show my husband how much willpower I have.
2- We might be about to buy a new house... aka I have to show how seriously I can stick to a budget.

Because of this I have been having to ignore those enticing 40% off e-mails. But today, just because it is Friday I thought I would indulge myself by picking out what I would purchase if I could.

Feminine but fun and super comfy. This needs to be my lake top for this summer with white shorts, pants, jeans, everything maybe.

Everything about white and linen makes me smile! With Easter being a week away it is officially time to pull out the whites. This would be perfect for work... feeling a casual Sunday at church. Top it work a pretty blouse, to be more casual just throw on a tee, or even pull over a blazer if it is still chilly one day/night. LOVE

 Oh the many things I love about this. 1- I love skirts. 2- You look and you can't really tell whether its animal print or not. 3- Its not as super long as some pencil skirts for short girls like me. Skirts at work make me smile :)

 So those are the things I love at the Loft right now. None of these will make its way to my closet; however, a girl can dream. For now I'll just go look at my overly full closet and remember how extremely blessed I am.
