Outfit Idea of the Day: Yellow Shorts

 Well I hope we get to wear shorts sometime in the near future and I saw the yellow shorts below and had to make an outfit around them. This shirt has a fun and unconventional print that would be really interesting to even wear with just a pair of jeans.

 I am in love with this yellowish gold color and it makes for a different way to wear your shorts this spring/summer.

I believe with the prints and colors mixed in the top portion of this outfit that the shoes should be kept simple and cute. These nude wedges are just the thing and will be your go-to-shoe for a lot of summer outfits.

Outfit Idea of the Day: Cute Rain Gear

 As much as it has been raining this spring it's about time I got around to finding some affordable rain gear. For you gals who love raincoats and wellies, here is a cute little rainy day idea.

I love this polka dot coat in silver and black, always cute and always in style. It also comes in a brown variety.

And to protect your hair from major frizz-factor is a cute and colorful umbrella! Forever 21 sells a couple (leopard and damask prints) for around $6 but they just didn't go with the jacket very well. So here is a bright red ruffled umbrella that will always be stylish.

Outfit Idea of the Day: Spring into a Skirt

 We are occasionally starting to see some warm days, spring has taken its time getting here, but soon enough we will be able to wear skirts without having to wiggle into hosiery. This is a simple, yet cute outfit that would be very easy to put together on any given day.

This shirt is simple but will never  go out of style, and the neck has a bit of interest to keep it from being a plain ivory shirt.

 I really love this skirt. I love the colors, the print and that it has a nice wide band at the top making it easy to tuck your top in and not need a belt.

Outfit Idea of the Day: A cute skirt and shirt combo for my curvy ladies

 A cute wear to work outfit or for a night out, this outfit is a great example of pieces that can be broken up and used in other outfits. This shirt can be paired with a cardigan and jeans in chillier months. I love the bright color shining through on this black and white top that creates such a beautiful pattern. V-neck shirts are also universally flattering in making women look slimmer.

A cute pair of simple denim wedges like these will get a lot of use with sundresses and shorts in the summer but would also look nice with this outfit.

Outfit Idea of the Day: Long Shirt and Leggings

 I'm a bit of a leggings addict. I believe they are the chic way to be comfortable in public. The glorified sweatpants, but way prettier and more fitted :) I chose this navy blue ruffle shirt because I love the color, it's not printed, but it's not plain Jane either.

Outfit Idea of the Day: A Sweet Little Jacket

As Easter approaches you see pastels everywhere, but I don't see nearly enough on your bodies! I came across this jacket in lilac (a color I don't normally wear) and was mesmorized by its simple beauty. The crocheted and oversized lapels are absolutely gorgeous and the asymetrical design   keeps it very modern.                                           This jacket is only $17.00 by Eyeshadow at vonmaur.com (p.s. they have free shipping!)

I think this jacket calls for a soft flowy top like this one to keep it ultra-feminine and sweet. A great basic to add to your wardrobe.

Outfit Idea of the Day: Black and Gold T-Shirt and Jeans Combo (for the curvier ladies)

I really dislike the fashion industry term "plus size" so I like to say "curvy" I think it is more encompassing and fair. I am in love with this bow shirt. As you already know I love bows! And this just has such a vintage feel. I love it!

Cream/Gold Foil Bow Tee $19.98 torrid.com
