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

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.

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!

Sales! Sales! Sales! There are a lot of sales and free shipping at most places.

4. Bellatrix Hummingbird Print Baseball Jacket sold @ Nordstrom
5. KUT from the Kloth Baseball Sweater Jacket sold @ Nordstrom
6. Two by Vince Camuto Linen & Faux Leather Baseball Jacket sold @ Nordstrom

With the official start of baseball in a few days, I thought I would do a post on baseball jackets - which are a trend this spring. My favorite is #2 - I like the leopard print and the perforated neon sleeves. I have never ordered anything from Shopbop. It seems pretty risk free to try out - since there is free shipping both ways and no sales tax.

Finds: Statement Necklaces

1. Mosaic Bib Necklace sold @ Banana Republic
2. Pastel and Neon Statement Necklace sold @ J. Crew
3. Pim + Larkin Ombré Jeweled Necklace sold @ Piperlime
4. Corsage Necklace sold @ Banana Republic
5. Factory Abstract Flower Bib Necklace sold @ J. Crew Factory
6. Short Blue and Yellow Stones Necklace sold @ Loft

One of my favorite trends recently is the statement necklace. For the past few years, I have worn mostly long chain necklaces, but recently, I have started to wear the shorter, bolder necklaces. At first, I was afraid to wear them because I thought they were too showy or gaudy, but now, I am glad I gave them a try. I like how they add a focal point to an outfit and add different pops of color. They dress up any outfit - from a basic tee to a dress. If you are thinking of giving a statement necklace a try - I would encourage you to try the trend.

They can be dressed up with heels and jewelry or dressed down for a more casual look with flats or sandals and a denim jacket.
