Neutral Needs

So it's Monday again and I'm feeling rather neutral. Yesterday was a superb sunny warm (ish considering it's early March) day and I celebrated by doing some outdoor window shopping and coffee sipping. Since it was the nicest day I've had off in so long, I was excited to throw on some bright colours.

So, since yesterday my wishlist is getting quite hefty. Being such a picky shopper, I decided to forgo any impulsive purchases yesterday and really think about what I outfits I could encorporate the items into before making the plunge. Afterall, more clutter makes outfit decision-making so much harder.

A few of the items I was eyeing would be perfect for a day like today - not so bold, yet adorably fashionable. So I've put together an outfit on Polyvore to help me get a feel for what kind of outfits I could be looking forward to.

A pair of white jeans can take you in so many directions this spring. They can perfect a pastel look or brighten a neutal outfit. One of my coveted items is a beige or cognac leather jacket. This Mackage jacket is perfect for the season. It's another staple that can work with pastel or neutral outfits. A nice scarf ads a touch of glam to the outfit which spices it up just enough.

What items are you coveting at the moment?

Waiting Game/Flower Power

Okay, so since I haven't acquired a photographer (let alone a proper SLR) to date, I'm still sitting on my hands before I can begin showcasing my outfits.

Until then, I thought I'd post about trends that I love and am eager to start following (if I haven't already) and show some inspirational photos to accessorize. Because we all know (or can imagine) how boring a fashion blog without photos would be.

Today, since the weather is making it feel a lot like spring (yay!), let's talk about florals. Now, florals have been popular since last spring but the trend is still hot right now and this season it's all about mixing floral patterns.

This is a recent set I created on Polyvore which features a perfect floral outfit for the season. Pairing a pastel-coloured floral blouse, with some brighter floral shoes, solid coloured-denim (a must this season!) and other subtle hints of flowers is a perfect way to embrace the flower.

Off to a Rockin Start

So here it is, my first blog post. I'm so excited to get this thing started I had to add a post immediately.

I'm going to be working on some outfit photos by end of week bu in the meantime, I thought I'd share one of my fav recent purchases. Can't wait to rock these. The outfit possibilities are endless!
