Spring To It

Today, I bring you a professional spring work look.

Skirt: The Limited (Similar here)
Blazer:  The Limited (Similar here)

I paired a green pencil skirt with a white top and jacket.  To add some visual interest, I added this floral scarf.

Top:  Torrid (old)
Scarf:  The Limited (No longer available on-line; see here)
Bracelets:  Express, Target

This outfit is quite conservative, more conservative than I usually go for.  I like it though because it feels so fresh and springy with the combination of green and white.  It's a great way to bring a little of the joy of spring into the office.

Shoes:  Target (Available in other colors here)
Purse:  The Limited (Similar here)

Hope you all have a great day!!

Double Peplum & Prabal Gurung for Target

Today's evening look is all about the peplum (oh, and these awesome shoes!)

Blazer:  Target (Available here)
Dress:  New York & Company (Similar here)

I paired a black peplum dress with a white peplum jacket for an on-trend mix of black and white.  Peplums can be super flattering and are great at disguising a tummy.

I would wear an outfit like this on a romantic dinner date.  It could also work for a business or other work-related evening function.

Shoes:  Prabal Gurung for Target (Available in select stores.  See here)

I am so in love with these heels form Prabal Gurung's line for Target!  They are romantic and sexy at the same time and are a great statement shoe with a relatively simple outfit.

Cuff:  The Limited (old)

As a day-to-night option, this evening look could easily be a transformation from a day outfit.  For day, the strappy floral heels could be replaced by a simple lower-heeled pump and the pewter clutch replaced with a work satchel.

Earrings:  Prabal Gurung for Target (Sold out on-line; Available in some stores; see here)

Clutch:  Target (Available here)

Spring 2013 Fashion Preview: Graphic Black & White

Black and white never really goes out of style; however, the last couple seasons, designers have really utilized this classic color combination, making it uber-trendy.  This coming spring, expect to see lots of black and white in solids and graphic prints in stores. 

Pretty bright colors are expected for spring, but many designers took a more unexpected turn this spring using black and white.

Since this is my favorite combination, color me quite happy!!

Jacket:  Target Petites (Available here)
Pants:  The Limited (No longer available on-line)

Blouse:  Old Navy Petites
Tote:  The Limited

Today, I paired this great ponte knit peplum jacket I just found on-line at Target with basic black pieces for a graphic look.
 

I paired my outfit with a red tote for a pop of color, but for spring, many designers kept accessories in black and white as well.
