Unseasonable Sunshine

So, Southern California's winter has been nothing short of schizophrenic this year. 3 days of cold, 3 days of rain, 3 days of sweltering heat, 3 days of comfortable sunshine... rinse and repeat. Not only are my allergies very confused (sniff sniff cough cough), but my wardrobe can't figure it out either! This does not seem like something I should have been able to wear in the winter! I actually wore this outfit last June (when it's supposed to be 90+ degrees...) to the Temecula Balloon & Wine Festival with my gal pals, but since I never took outfit photos, it gets to make its blog appearance now!

Play Ball!

A lot going on in this outfit, eh? I'm unsure about it. I wanted to balance the tomboy-ish nature of the Panama hat and baseball tee with a floral and (apparently) lots of pink - I guess I accomplished my goal, but I think going the extra mile with some wedges or keeping it more classic with a gold monogram might have been more my style. It feels summer-y, but I don't know if it quite screams "Dani!" Better luck next time!

I decided to compile some personal baseball tee inspiration for the future!

 Baseball tees + pants: I definitely want to try pairing my baseball tees with camo print and/or booties!

Baseball tees + skirts: Pairing my baseball tees with bright colors, leopard prints, and feminine lace is definitely on my to-do list!

How do you style your baseball tees?

Ombre Aztec

A little year ago, I met up with some of my best blogging ladies for a fun weekend in Louisiana! I did a lot of eating, a lot of bonding, and a decent amount of shopping, too! This skirt is one of my favorite purchases from that trip - I think that ombre, seafoam green, and aztec print just about scream Dani!

Gold Toms & My 4-Year-Old Best Friend

So, this outfit, though simple, has a bit of a backstory. I hadn't worn any of my Toms in ages, but the kids at my work wear them constantly. When my 4-year-olds bestie Skylar (I've known her since she was barely 2 and her sister Sydney was in my class) came to school wearing some pink sparkly Toms, we got to chatting about our shoe collections. When we realized we both had a gold pair, we decided to start planning to match the next day. Though we both had our entire clothing arsenals memorized, it took some planning, but we finally decided on jeans and black tops.

Ta-da! If only I had a Minnie Mouse shirt, life would be perfect. ;)

Brights + Neutrals

{dress: modcloth | jacket: nordstrom | sneakers: converse | necklace: etsy |

Despite what appears to be 6:30am misery on my face (thank you, Daylight Savings...), I really liked this outfit! I paired bright red with bright yellow, and then balanced it all out with some neutral army green, black leather, and white sneaks. It's also possible that this dress is actually supposed to be a shirt/tunic, but hey, I'm 5'2" and I'll take what I can get.

Style - Coast to Coast: Emerald

Remember last month when Sarah & I introduced our new monthly feature Style - Coast to Coast to you all? Well, we're back in action for March! This month's theme? A little Pantone color of the year/St. Patrick's Day-inspired emerald green!

{shirt: craft fair | tank & watch: nordstrom | leggings: target | boots & socks: hunter | purse: rebecca taylor | necklace: gift | turquoise bracelet: stella & dot | metallic bracelets: derng}

After Sarah & I came up with the bright idea to do emerald for March, I realized... I don't really own any green. You are truly seeing the only two green items I own - my most fabulous rain boots and this bubble necklace my coworker got me! Still, a little bit of green goes a long way!

As I may have mentioned before, I have a bit of a distaste for St. Patrick's Day, for 2 reasons:
1. I don't like holidays that dictate my wardrobe.
2. I hate pinching.

C'est la vie...

My friend does it again - how fabulous is this look? She is the classy to my sassy! I love the juxtaposition of the delicate, feminine white dress anchored down with a statement belt and structured blazer! I love that we both went with a touch of oxblood - my tank and her pumps! Great minds think alike! Emerald and oxblood create a great color palette that's taken us from fall to winter, and now transitioning into spring!

Head over to Think Twice Style to see what Sarah has to say about her green attire!

How are you going to incorporate green into your St. Patrick's Day attire this weekend?

We'd love for you all to spread the word about Style - Coast to Coast! Pin this image if you'd like to help get our names out there - we'd really appreciate it! :)

Chevron + Leather & Suede

{dress: threadsence | jacket & leggings (as tights): target | boots: steve madden | necklace: ily couture | scarf (in hand): nordstrom}

It was super cold and windy! Can you tell?! I wore this out to dinner and to the ballet with my mom. Yes, the ballet. So swanky, right? (I hated it, we left at intermission. Don't judge me.)

It had rained all day, and we thought we were in the clear - until we came out of dinner and it was POURING! We ran to and from our car and into the ballet - but this outfit was not a good choice for a rainy day! I guess I should have added a hat. ;)

Aside from being rained on and freezing, I loved  this outfit! I forgot about these boots, so I was excited to rediscover them, and I love this dress, so I was glad I got another chance to wear it! Ta-da!
