Southern Charm

Hey Babes! I’ve been spending some time in the South visiting family and friends and truly enjoying some down time 😄 I was really worried about the weather initially, it seemed like a cool front arrived just ahead of me! I had no need to fear, most days have been sunny and relatively mild. My trusty faux fur scarves have served me well, adding in an extra layer of warmth 😏

Getting dressed this time of year can be particularly tricky. Weather patterns tend to be inconsistent while making the grand transition from Winter to Spring. Fortunately there is light at the end of the tunnel: Spring Fashion and after that SUMMER!!!!  Trust me when I tell you: I am counting down the days! LOL! In the interim, I’ve teamed up with the Babes over at Gwynnie Bee to showcase some great style options for Spring! Take for instance this lovely paisley blouse that I am wearing in today's post 😉

So Faux Real

By now you probably realize that I am totally infatuated with faux fur right?! I mean faux real!!! Check out just a few examples here, here, and here...LOL! Not only is faux fur warm and luxuriously stylish - but it is also totally on trend with a plethora of colors to choose  from. I scored this blue infinity style scarf a couple of weeks ago while I was out of town, and I simply couldn't wait to wear it 💓 

Secret: Whenever I don’t feel like thinking about ‘what’ to wear to an outing, I usually opt for denim:denim (a.k.a a Canadian Tuxedo). Seriously, you just can’t go wrong with it! I really like the fact that the denim does not have to match, for instance I wore this same shirt with black denim jeans and it looked equally fab (or at least I thought so, LOL) 😉 Actually, I scored pretty big with this top, not only does it play into my obsession with cold shoulders, but it also features an over-sized fit, meaning that it can be work as a tunic, layered, and of course more fitted as shown in today’s post. Did you notice the simple tip that I included, that is- how I altered this top to appear somewhat tailored?  So often we see/think of tops knotted in the front around the bellybutton, but have you every tried knotting a large shirt in the back? You really should! 

Let me tell you, I was totally feeling the simplicity of this look - yet it had just enough umph to have me feeling myself, LOL! 

Until next times Babes,

XO
