TRANSITIONING INTO SPRING

I apologize for being a bit MIA of late. I took a mini break with the mom's for a whirlwind tour of Charleston and Savannah. I had hoped to squeeze in some time to blog but found it impossible. I must admit it was rather nice to be unplugged. Spring is quickly passing and here in Nashville the temp is already nearing 90. This has left me with a wardrobe delima on more than one occasion. Rushing into shorts, tanks, and summer dresses just hasn't felt right. I've been focusing on what I can mix and match without melting or revealing too much paleness in the process. I am loving how popular chambray shirts have become. They are so easy to mix and match. If you don't have anything chambray, any blue shirt will do. Pair it up with black skinnies or white jeans or better yet a pair of red jeans. I have yet to break out my white. Southern gal that I am must wait until after Easter. Enjoy the pics for some inspiration.....

Olsen absolutely rocks this outfit.

STYLE INSPIRATION: NEON

One of spring's hottest color trends is neon. Every label has put their spin on anything from clothing to accessories. What better way to transition out of winter than with a pop of color? As a child of the 80's when I think of neon I am slightly reminded of  big hair and bad clothing choices. However, these images inspire me to incorporate a touch here and there. For me, a little goes a long way. What do you think?
