Soft Separates

Today's look features a spring-ready work look.

Pants:  The Limited (Available here)
Blouse:  The Limited (Sold out on-line; may be available in stores)

I paired navy trousers with a mint crochet top and ivory herringbone blazer.  

Blazer:  The Limited (old) (Similar here)

I love the softness of the colors of the top and jacket and the crisp contrast with the navy.  Mint is one of my favorite colors and paired with ivory, reminds me of the beach for some reason.

Earrings:  Hand-made

.The crochet and herringbone print add visual interest, but the overall shapes and cuts of this these pieces are very office-appropriate.

Ring:  Purchased at local jewelry show
Tote:  Target (old)

If you dress for it, will it come?

Well, we are expecting snow this weekend!!!  So much for spring weather anytime soon (grumble, grumble)!

Peplum blazer:  Target Petites (Available here)
Pants: The Limited (Available here)

Feeling the urge to bring on spring, I chose a fresh and spring-y color palette of navy, coral, and white.  Polkadots feel happy and always make me think of spring.

Cuff:  Express
Shoes:  Target (Available in other colors here)

Top:  Forever 21+

I've been trying to think of more fun and trendy ways to wear my several pairs of dress pants.  I find them to be the most work-appropriate pants; however, I find that they can get dreadfully boring and sometimes stodgy.

I am not a fan of a super-classic or preppy style, so I like that the trendy peplum and bold cuff add in a little of my own flair.

Tote:  The Limited (old)
