Coral is, hands down, one of my favorite colors.  It's universally-flattering, so you really can't go wrong wearing it.  What a perfect color for spring/summer!

The older I get, the more I crave simplicity on Easter morning.  The kids' baskets are small and simple.  Breakfast is our usual pancake recipe.  And I prefer a cute dress with flats.  Paired with an adorable purse and eye-catching necklace, we have the makings of a comfortable-during-the-egg-hunt-and-for-the-rest-of-the-day-too outfit.

Essentials: Cardigans

I am a lover of cardigans.  It doesn't matter what season it is, you will find me with a cardigan on at some point during the week.  When the weather turns cooler, my love for cardigans gets turned up a notch.  I am on the hunt for some new cardigan for my wardrobe.  I'll be hitting up Goodwill next week to see what I can find, but for now I'm pulling my inspiration from the internet.  Gotta have a plan when I go thrifting!

What is your favorite style of cardigan?  Chunky?  Sleek?  Belted?

Are you already daydreaming about outfits for holiday parties?  I am, and that was the inspiration for this outfit board.  The sparkle, the gold, and the dramatic maxi skirt would be perfect for a holiday party.

Is it too early to be thinking about Christmas parties?

Do you get excited for layering in the fall?  I do!  It's my favorite part of getting dressed during the fall and winter.  Of course, by the time February rolls around I'm sick of it.  But, for now, I'm loving it!

Essentials: Black Boots

Save // Spend // Splurge

I don't know if you do this, but at the beginning of each season ... Or, really, whenever there is a major shift in the general temperatures, I take stock of my wardrobe and select a couple items to shop for.  For example, in the summer I tend to look for sandals and skirts.

Last fall, my focus was cognac boots.  I found a great pair at Old Navy.  This year, it was black boots.  I found an awesome pair from Forever 21 that only cost $12.99!  They fit, they're comfortable, and they honestly look good with everything.  But, I'd be lying if my eyes haven't been wondering to others I've seen online...

What are you shopping for right now?

If you've ever been to North Carolina, you'll know that our weather is kind of all over the place.  One day, it's cold and you think it's actually fall.  The next day, you're sweating and blasting the a/c in your car.  This is definitely something I could wear to church.  And if the weather decides to get funky, I'd throw on a cardigan!

 What could be better than a simple color palette and an awesome, chunky sweater?  

Not much, my friends.   Not much.

 I've spoken about  my hesitation to wear lace, but I couldn't not put this dress in an inspiration board!  Although lace makes me nervous (seriously, who doesn't snag it?), it is so pretty to look at.  Gorgeous, vintage-inspired shoes and a classy bag complete this look.  All it needs is some gold jewelry, a waist-cinching belt, and some fun-hued sunglasses.

I may or may not be on a quest to acquire as many dolman-sleeved tops as I can.  They are the most comfortable shirts.  They can be worn many different ways.  Normally, I pair one with leggings or skinny jeans.  I've also worn them tucked into skirts, which is a comfortable alternative to wear to the office.

Do you like dolman sleeves?  I really can't get enough of them.

I used to think that clothes with jewels sewn around the neck were a little cheese.  But, now that we're consistently late getting out the door for church, it makes more sense to me.  A mom totally came up with the idea of jewelry on clothing.  No need to rifle around your jewelry box!  Your jewelry's on your clothing!

Have you noticed that a lot of bloggers have been talking about simplifying their wardrobes and using more neutral color palettes?  Yeah, so have I.  I don't know if it's this time of year or the temperature change, but I am craving simplicity in everything right now.  I've been wearing simple color palettes and I am itching to purge my closet yet again.  All I want to wear is an outfit consisting of skinny jeans or leggings, a baggy top, and flats or boots.

Have you been feeling the need to simplify your wardrobe/

Isn't this pop of color gorgeous?  I love nothing more than a nearly neutral outfit with a couple shots of bright color throughout.   It's simple and chic (whoa, did I just use that word?) and it's super easy to put this together when you're frazzledly (new word) getting everyone together for church in the morning.  Which is every Sunday for us.

Sweater / Jeans / Boots / Hat / Purse / Nail Polish

Are you a hat person?  I'm not.  At least, I don't think I am.  They never look quite right on me, but I'm determined to be a hat person this fall/winter!  You see, I love to knit them so I have a small collection that doesn't get used...  And so it goes, I hope you'll humor me this fall while I attempt to get hat-wearing right!

Dress / Blazer / Sunglasses / Wedges / Satchel

Yesterday, I was feeling cozy and neutral.  Today, I'm feeling a bit summer-y and bright!  I suppose my fashion mood is behaving like the weather -- all over the place.

I love all these colors together.  They are bright and fun without competing for attention.  And those wedges!  My goodness, I want to add those to my closet!

Doesn't this make you feel cozy?  I can't wait for snuggly sweater weather.  Can you believe I haven't ordered a pumpkin spice latte yet?  It just hasn't been cold enough for one yet.  The weather here in NC is still up and down.  It can't decide if it wants to be summer or fall!  As soon as it turns a bit colder, I'll be ordering one tout de suite!

WARNING: You will need sunglasses to look at this outfit.  I mean, look at it!  (with sunglasses, of course)  I love the vibrant yellow/blue combination so much for summer.  And can we just look at the flowery detailing on the dress?  I would keep the jewelry minimal-ish, but still interesting, and throw in some funky sunglasses to seal the deal!

What's your favorite summer color combination?

Sunglasses  /  Clutch  /  Top  /  Skinnies  /  Flatforms

A couple weeks ago, I purchased some almost-flatforms from Target, and they have been the best addition to my shoe closet in a long time!  I love the height they give me, but they don't kill my feet.  These clog flatforms would be another awesome addition to my closet (alliteration much?), and I would totally do the purse/shoe matchy-matchy thing with this outfit.  The cognac color pairs so well with dark and light grey.  This would be the perfect weekend outfit.  And, hello!  Tall shoes I can chase the kids in!

Dress  /  Earrings  /  Bracelet  /  Messenger Bag  /  Sandals

Let's all take a moment and look at this dress.  I absolutely love the colors, the pleats, the details.  Everything about this screams classy summer dress at me!  You all know my style, keep it simple.  I would add some minimally glitzy earrings and bracelet.  And who could say no to those metallic flats?  The toes of those sandals would be absolutely perfect peeking out under the maxi dress!  Normally, I would pair this dress with a black bag, but don't you think a cream colored bag would be a nice change?

Tank  /  Satchel  /  Sandals  /  Skinnies

I love a good pair of colored skinnies.  Normally, I reach for my hot pink jeans, but these yellow ones would be the perfect addition to my closet.  I think these could be treated as neutral, so a bright red and white striped top would be so cute with them!  Of course, I'd in some actual neutrals with the sandals and the satchel.

What's your favorite color of skinnies to wear?
