Other than leopard, stripes are probably the only other pattern I wear. Black and white (or beige) stripes are my favorite. They are classic and pair well with brown. You can also add a pop of color with red. I have recently been doing a lot of browsing and shopping at H&M. They have great prices. This striped dress that I found is only $13. It would be perfect for spring layered with a denim jacket or worn on its own in the summer with these platform sandals.
BLOGGING TIPS
Today, I am excited to announce a new blogging series that is starting today called - BLOGGING TIPS. I have paired up with 5 other blogs (Peaches in a Pod, Sweaters, Stripes & Sweets, Shoes to Shiraz, Doused in Pink, Pumps and Push Ups). Each week, we will be sharing our tips on everything from starting a blog, to working with brands and where to go for help. This week we are talking about what we wish we had known before we started a blog.
Also, our blogging series will be set up as a "Blog Hop"- so at the end of my post, I will link to the next blogger - be sure to hop over to her blog, and then, hop around until you have visited all six of us.

Shopbop is having its Friends & Family sale this week. You can get 25% almost everything - use the code INTHEFAM.It is a great time to buy those things you have wanted to get - but wanted to wait until they went on sale. Shopbop offers free shipping both ways - so there is no additional cost. I always look for places that offer free shipping - especially free return shipping. If you are not careful - shipping costs can add up. So, it is best to find the places with free shipping. Nordstrom is another place I like to shop that offers free shipping both ways - or you can even pick it up in the store.
As you may have noticed in my look yesterday - I like to pair leopard with yellow. It depends on the shade of the leopard print - but in most cases, I think it works really well. Denim is also a nice layering piece to add to the look.
Be sure to stop back tomorrow. I will be back with the women from The Blended Blog to show how we style a spring sweater. With this crazy weather (a snow storm on Saturday) - it is kind of difficult to dress for spring - but soon the snow will be gone and warmer weather will be here for good.
Lastly, my husband and I are in the process of updating some furniture and possibly remodeling our kitchen. (Oh how I would love to remodel our kitchen.) We have lived in our house almost 15 years - and it is time for a make-over. It is funny how all of sudden - things feel "old". I just bought this table yesterday. It will be here in a couple of weeks. And now, I am in the process of picking out the chairs and upholstery. (Only bad thing is that the chairs will take at least 10 weeks to arrive.) I may take a deviation from styling outfits a few days - and show some room updates instead.
