<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">If there is one thing I love about spring, it's that your options for bottoms drastically widen. Capris, mini-skirts, linen pants, full skirts, short shorts, silky skirts, and the list goes on and on... I am really excited about all the new shorts I have been seeing in the stores for spring. I love wearing shorts with a flowy shirt and chunky shoes for a night out. And with the humid and hot days very close by, I'll need something to keep me cool.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love spring for many reasons, but specifically for the sweet skirts that come with the season. They are just too easy to wear! Right now I am really loving flowy mini-skirts and full knee-length skirts which bring me back a couple of decades. Anything with a hint of Betty Draper draws me in.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For the last couple of weeks, I've really been craving vests a la Blake Lively in season one of Gossip Girl. During warm weather you can almost always find me in a tank and cute little skirt. But even with lots of accessories, I always felt under-dressed. But then *light bulb moment* I had an idea! What if I added a vest? So now I'm on the hunt for the perfect vest to go with all my spring skirts. Add that and a pair of gladiator sandals or chunky wedges and I'm ready to go.</span>LauraAshleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10489405524877485498noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027844872412692948.post-16191203803517898332010-03-23T21:17:00.000-07:002010-03-23T21:22:54.074-07:00Bright White + Black Buttons = Dreamy Trench Coat<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEERYg9VvlJ63lxPbct6EL5R4Ei0JljU_KFQr2rAPGyaPABKAzOB9DB0rY3fUmPT9iudBbKfqPpWEG-YcgQqXw1F1h91wpEzsCNcqmkT9_5wooYRNtCqLceI3BnHxw6z3zGDINO3PDN1t6/s1600-h/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEERYg9VvlJ63lxPbct6EL5R4Ei0JljU_KFQr2rAPGyaPABKAzOB9DB0rY3fUmPT9iudBbKfqPpWEG-YcgQqXw1F1h91wpEzsCNcqmkT9_5wooYRNtCqLceI3BnHxw6z3zGDINO3PDN1t6/s640/006.JPG" vt="true" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I just adore a great coat or jacket. I've had this obsession since middle school. I think they can easily spice up an otherwise dull outfit. I have coats in ALL colors and styles (really, just open my coat closet - I actually use it!). But my favorite coats are the crisp white ones... white leather jackets, white trench coats, little white hoodies, and I'm sure the list will grow. The white coat is such a perfect transition from winter to spring, and I plan to get plenty of use out of them before the hot and humid southern summers begin. </span>LauraAshleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10489405524877485498noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027844872412692948.post-66052404300752542162010-03-22T17:31:00.000-07:002010-03-22T17:50:56.438-07:00Neutrals Make Me Blush<div><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/neutrals_make_me_blush/set?.embedder=1065782&.mid=embed&id=17113515"><img alt="Neutrals Make Me Blush" border="0" height="400" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFmVtX2MwQW8yM3hHQ0d3a1BfcGpmYWcAAAACaWQKAWUAAAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg" title="Neutrals Make Me Blush" width="400" /></a><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I am so excited about the beginning of Spring! If I could only wear two colors it would be black and neutrals (yes, I'm counting that as one color). Since neutrals were show in most of the spring collections, it looks like I am in luck. When I'm shopping, I notice that when I get ready to check out, I have an armful of blush, steel, and beige items. I am just drawn to the simplicity of neutrals. Not only are they easy to wear (you can literally match every other color with a neutral) but details such as lace, bows, and flowers just look dainty and feminine on neutrals instead of like unwanted garnish. Oh, and did I mention that everything is under $100!</span>LauraAshleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10489405524877485498noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027844872412692948.post-73220409555839654032010-03-21T18:29:00.000-07:002010-03-22T05:14:54.364-07:00I Live for Lace<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLMTlpdnTq0gsgCza0BINsW7nC36inI0_oRWLXTnMligUsWObSSiBhyphenhyphen2gEVmB0-U-v2FhmCgbinoGpO5z2yrdZMHF0TeieP1uW11Uz59x38bHfqouFGzjayLrNRku7ZtIDdzcolABLyfKJ/s1600-h/Laura.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLMTlpdnTq0gsgCza0BINsW7nC36inI0_oRWLXTnMligUsWObSSiBhyphenhyphen2gEVmB0-U-v2FhmCgbinoGpO5z2yrdZMHF0TeieP1uW11Uz59x38bHfqouFGzjayLrNRku7ZtIDdzcolABLyfKJ/s640/Laura.jpg" vt="true" width="315" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">H&M beige gold-striped sweater, American Rag beige lace tank, American Eagle ripped white jeans, Steve Madden gold wedges, Forever 21 green and gold earrings</span></em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">For the last couple of months, I have been doing some sporadic posting of my outfits on Chictopia. But since my work situation has changed, I now have to dress like a grown-up at work which means fewer cute outfits (since when are leggings and boots not work-appropriate?) But that doesn't mean I've stopped wearing them - even though I do spend a good amount of time in sweatpants! So, in an attempt to cover more than just fashion, and with the addition of a my new Nikon D3000 (impulse buy!) I have a reason to start blogging. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">When I was asked at the store why I wanted to buy a new camera, I responded dumbfoundedly "Ummm... to take pictures?"</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I'm still working out the details of my new Nikon, so I'll begin with this outfit from last weekend using my old, way less-cool camera. Living in Texas means Spring starts a lot earlier than in the North (even though it snowed last night; since when does it snow in Texas?) I love lace year-round, but something about the lightness of lace in Spring just makes me giddy. I paired it with white pants and gold accessories and I really love how all of the pale colors blend together. I think this may be my new go-to look!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Bear with me while I work out my new camera and a blueprint for my blogging..</span>LauraAshleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10489405524877485498noreply@blogger.com0
