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!

Pink + Paisley

I've had this blazer for quite awhile, but I've only ever worn it once! The bright color and the length are challenging for me! I don't wear a lot of pink, so I was a little clueless about what to pair this with, and because I'm fairly short, this longer, mid-thigh length makes me feel even shorter when paired with the wrong proportions!

Still, I think these pieces worked well together! I picked up on the hints of pink in this bright paisley print dress, and then topped it with this statement necklace. This necklace may have been a bit much on top of the pop of color and busy print, and truth be told, the tortoise shell was a bit less obvious and matter than I expected, but I think it was a fun touch.

How do you incorporate pops of color into your looks?

Extra Mustard

This was one of my more creative outfits as of late. (Haha.) Meaning, it was more than just a shirt, shoes, and pants! Ta-da! When I bought this mustard cardigan, I was afraid its strong color wouldn't be very versatile, but turns out, it kind of works as a neutral! Perfect!

I got this scarf ages ago, and I still love it! The navy (and - is that mustard?!) paisley print goes with everything, it's super soft and light, and has little rhinestones sewn on - really, what more could a girl ask for?

Oh yes, leggings. A girl could always ask for leggings.
