For the most part, I tend to style a lot of looks around what you would wear after work hours. I think it is because I am most comfortable in jeans and I like shoes, in particular high heels. So, I thought I would show a look from day to night based around a simple blue/green top. A lot of the pieces that I found are from Mango. I am not that familiar with the store, but it looks like it has some great jackets and tops at a reasonable price. Have you ever shopped there and what did you think?

How to Wear: Red & Blue

00_inspiration
I usually think of pairing red and blue together for a patriotic holiday, such as Memorial Day or Fourth of July; however, recently, I have started to see this color combo as a fashion trend. Although, it was seen on the runways back in Fall 2011, it seems to be more common today. Also, I got some inspiration from this look of Diane Kruger. The blue is less navy and more cobalt and the red, more of an orange-ish hue. What do you think of these colors together - would you wear it? I am debating it - although, I might try wearing my cobalt blue pumps with a red top or jacket.

When you are shopping online have you ever wondered how different pieces may go together - well, H&M has this fun "Try On" dressing room feature that does just that. That is how I created the three styled looks today. I wish every store had this feature. It is a great way to see what something looks like when shopping online. The only draw back is that sometimes I would like to see the jacket open and not zipped/buttoned up or the boyfriend jeans rolled up.

Leather, Floral, Destroyed

1. Tinley Road Colored Vegan Leather Tee sold @ Piperlime
2. Chain Flap Crossbody Bag sold @ Nordstrom
3. Rebecca Minkoff Studded Pavé Leather Bracelet sold @ Piperlime
4. Betsey Johnson Snake Hinged Bangle sold @ Piperlime
5. Nine West Ambitious Pump sold @ Zappos
6. Boyfriend Jeans in Vintage Blue sold @ Loft

Destroyed (distressed) denim, floral print, and leather are all hot trends right now, so I thought I would group them together for a look. I think the floral print does a nice job of offsetting the distressed look of the denim, and leather gives it a rocker, fun look! What do you think? Any of these trends on your wish list for spring/summer?

In my closet, I do not own item with a polka dot print. For the most part, I am not a print person; however, when I saw this look and this one, too, I started to give polka dots some consideration. Recently, I found some great polka dot pieces at J. Crew Factory, and I thought I would mix up some prints and colors with the polka dots for a classic yet playful look. What do you think?

Camouflage Skimmer

1. AE Faded Denim Jacket sold @ American Eagle Outfitters
2. Drop-Shoulder Linen-Blend Tees sold @ Old Navy
3. Meliss Sandal sold @ Nine West
4. Sabine Beaded and Metal Triple Row Necklace sold @ Piperlime
5. 1969 Printed Always Skinny Skimmer Jeans sold @ Gap

Camouflage print and Gap "the new skimmer" jeans seem to be a trend this spring, of which I own neither; however, if I was to purchase them, this is how I would style them. Also, last year, I purchased a denim jacket from American Eagle, and I love it! I had tried jackets from several different places and this one had the best fit and look. So, if you are looking for a denim jacket, I highly recommend giving this one a try.

If you are looking for other ways to style "the new skimmer" jeans - be sure to check out Rach @ Pink Peonies. She is also offering a chance to win a $50 American Express gift card.

One last thing, Gap has 30% off today (Code: GAPDRESS). Actually, it is 3 days of savings - 25% off tomorrow (Tuesday) and 20% off Wednesday!

Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend!

I agree with one of my favorite bloggers that it is time for some sunshine, so we can wear sundresses and flip flops. Hopefully this little guy is correct and spring is around the corner. So, in anticipation, here is a fun outfit of yellows, greens, and blues.

Have a great Wednesday! And, one last thing, I linked up with StyleElixir for Style Sessions, so be sure to check out this stylish gal's site and what other fashionable ladies are wearing.

Are you looking forward to the Super Bowl on Sunday? What's your favorite part - the commercials, half-time show, the actual game? I have been somewhat disappointed with the commercials the past few years, so I hope this year there are some great ones! These might be a few years old, but I still think this commercial and this one are pretty funny.

As far as the game, I am looking forward to it - although, I wish my team was playing, oh well, maybe next year. Any predictions on who you think will win? I have not decided yet.

Enjoy the game! And, have a great weekend!
