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?

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?

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?

2. Drop-Shoulder Linen-Blend Tees sold @ Old Navy

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!
