Happy Wednesday my beautiful friends!

I hope you're having a great week so far!

Okay, so you need this turtleneck. It's not often that I highly suggest you purchase something, but let me tell you, I absolutely LOVE this turtleneck and have worn it so many times since purchasing it in the fall. It comes in a few other colors, too. What I love about it is how soft and stretchy it is. The only downside is that it's not a bodysuit, which I like because you don't have to worry about the bunching, but the feel of this compensates for that. I'm also a sucker for ribbed fitted tops. They're a bit nostalgic, throwing it back to the 90s. Plus, I love this light brown shade. It's one that I feel would look great on every skin tone and pairs well with nearly every color. I love the way it looks worn with these velvet green jeans and the pop of red in the heels, which as you know, are one of my favorite pairs.

Happy Friday my beautiful friends!

Would you believe that I've owned these pink pants for about 7 years? Though it hasn't been until recently that I've been wanting to wear them more because out of nowhere, I've gotten ideas on how to wear them in ways that allows them to serve as the start of the show, while still looking polished and not uber playful. I think that's what hindered me from wearing them more; I was somewhat intimidated. Yes, me. If you've been following this blog over the past few years, you'd know that I've had a bold and adventurous style, never really steering away from graphics, prints and color. My style has shifted and become more refined as I've gotten older and have had kids, but I still love color.

Happy Wednesday beauties!

So, you all know that I love to see what colors are trending each season because I just simply love color! This year, lavender and pastel purple shades seem to be what's in and understandably so, it's so beautiful and in my opinion, looks great on everyone! I love the idea of wearing these shades during the winter months because they have that winter frosty feel and look great paired with neutrals, such as brown.
