even though the calendar clearly states it’s spring, the reality is the temps can be chilly. so how do we transition in style? with a nod to the classics with a feminine twist. navy blue blazers are a must-have staple in my closet. and spring is the perfect time to pull it out of storage. pop it over a ruffled blouse (feminine details are quite on trend this season) and a pair of soft green chinos. if weather permits suede sandals are a great pair of kicks. but if not, pumps would do just fine. a reader favorite has been brought back into the rotation – a crystal-studded belt. i have an instagram buddy that keeps her eyes peeled out for this particular one. it’s yours, sweetie, as soon as i kick the bucket! okay, peeps, are we ready for tuesday? let’s do it in style!

I agree with Miss Talia…love the colors but wouldn’t have thought to put it all together. The belt buckle is just the right touch. The scottie is cute…will have to scope out a Chihuahua belt…ha! xoxo
