How to Wear: Boys Will Be Boys Tee

A few trends that I have been noticing recently is girls wearing boy's tees and pairing casual tees with a more formal skirt.  Here is a look that I put together with a perfect "Boys will be Boys" tee.  Have a great weekend!

1. Peek Boys Will Be Boys T-Shirt sold @ Nordstrom
2. Kelly Wearstler Half Twisted Brass Bracelet sold @ Piperlime
3. Gala Lace Skirt sold @ Ann Taylor
4. French Connection Myka Pump sold @ Nordstrom
5. AE Denim Vest (40% off and free shipping) sold @ American Eagle Outfitters

Finds: Mother's Day Gift

Looking for a special gift for your mom... here are a few ideas...

1. Viv Patent Flats sold @ J. Crew
2. Crystal-Encrusted Collar Necklace sold @ J. Crew
3. Shimmer Stone Stretch Bracelet sold @ Ann Taylor
4. Cabochon Stretch Bracelet sold @ Loft
5. DV by Dolce Vita Dania Sandal sold @ Nordstrom
6. Nine West Round Skinny Glitter Strap Watch sold @ Nordstrom
7. Floral Print Crew Neck Short Sleeve Cardigan sold @ Ann Taylor

What to Wear: A Floral Spring Look

1. Floral Dream Stripe Cap Sleeve Dress sold @ Loft
2. Necklace sold @ H&M
3. Vachetta Leather Skinny Belt sold @ Ann Taylor
4. Tinley Road Black and Gold Bangle sold @ Piperlime
5. Shannon Leather Platform Sandals sold @ Ann Taylor

Loft shows the look with a caramel belt and shoes. This is a little too matchy-matchy for me, so I thought I would change it up with black platform heels. They still have a brown heel, which ties in with the belt color but is a little less heavy than an all black sandal. I thought I would add a clear statement necklace with a coral accent ribbon, which is a steal at H&M for $7.95!

Zebra Dress

Michael Kors Zebra-Print Sheath Dress sold @ Neiman Marcus $628 (Reg. $1795)
Zebra Knit Jacquard Sheath Dress sold @ Ann Taylor $64.99 (Reg. $98)

I found a couple of cute sheath dresses in zebra print. One is an investment piece and the other a more budget friendly option. What do you think splurge or save? Are there items in your closet you consider investment pieces that you will splurge on?

Printed ankle pants seem to be a hot trend that doesn't seem like it is going to fade anytime soon. I have been on the fence about this style since ankle pants usually do not flatter my shape; however, I do like the way the print on these pants adds movement to an outfit and the how the ankle length showcases the shoes. What are your thoughts? If you are on the fence, too, and looking for some inspiration for how to wear ankle length pants, I recommend you check this out. Also, the Today show featured the Loft ankle pants and the mixing of prints.

One last thing, if you are interested in possibly winning some cash (and looking for some great, stylish, hilarious reading, too) you might want to check this out.

Happy Valentine's Day!
