I heart... asymmetrical stuff.

Every time I see an asymmetric, drapey piece of clothing, I stop in my tracks. There's just something so artfully whimsical about a tank top with a hem that dangles a tad longer on one side. A dress that is much longer in the back. It speaks to me...

So it was pretty darn awesome that I found a Cheap Monday skirt in Urban Outfitters that gave my heart a little squeeze. It was more awesome still, that it was the last friggin one, in my size, and had been in the store for so long, (and without a sales tag at that) that they had to give it a random price -oh, say... ten bucks?!- and sell it to your truly!

I wore it today with a striped, loose crop top from American Apparel, and my black patent Sam Edelman Gigi sandals. Needless to say, my bf liked my outfit ;)

Lite Brite

For the past few weeks I've been seeing brights pop up everywhere: in stores, online, in fashion magazines... And so, I have it programmed in my brain that I NEED some fun, punchy colors in my Spring wardrobe. Today at the mall I found a few things that definitely fed my hunger for the trend. I got a stretchy, pink mini (I'll wear it high-waisted with a neutral tank tucked into it), and an adorable orange clutch with a zipper that is the same hue as the skirt. I loved the clutch so much that I grabbed a kelly green one with a bright blue zipper as well. *Sigh!* Now to wait til it's warm enough to wear my little gems...

Skirt: Nordstrom. Clutch: Zara.

These are a few of my favorite things...

Now that I'm a working girl with a job in the corporate world, i have to be more discerning when I go shopping. Every time I pick something up, I ask myself, "Can I wear this to work?" If the answer is no, the piece I'm buying has to be really cute, and fairly cheap. All things considered, I still buy some pieces just for fun ;) Below are a few pieces I expect to live in when the weather warms up... Add a cup of Iceberry fro-yo topped with strawberries, mix well and enjoy!

What are your favorite looks/trends for Spring?

I never...

I never thought I'd buy a pair of harem pants. Untillllll... yesterday. I found the cutest pair in Forever 21 and couldn't put them down! They have a vertical zipper going down each cuff. Plus I figured I could dress them up a bit and wear them to work, lol so why not give them a try?

Jewelry Fetish

Welp... My procrasti- nation has led to this. A half-a$$ed post about my unending love of all things cold and metallic. Here are pics of some of my rings, and most of my necklaces (hung on the arms of my dresser's lamp). I've collected jewelry from Urban Outfitters, Aldo, random boutiques... and there's the occasional piece I fashioned myself.

a nude way of looking at it...

ahhh... neutrals. what's not to love? i'm the kind of girl that picks up something off the rack and thinks: "hmm... i wonder if this comes in gray?" it's bad, i know, because half my closet is filled with shades ranging from heather gray to charcoal, and i'm still not tired of it in the least! i guess it has something to do with my comfort zone: what DOESN'T go with gray?!

not to fret; i HAVE been choosing other colors to aid in doing away with this addiction. i bought a knit hat and scarf in varying shades of forest green, as well as this cropped nude sweatshirt that i obsessed over for a couple of weeks b4 I finally bought it...

Swooning Over Sweaters

As of late, I've been obsessed with dolman-sleeved sweaters. I have one super-soft charcoal one, one swingy, pale pink one from H&M, and I just picked up a cream-colored one with snaps that go up the back and along the ribbed cuffs :)

I love how you can wear them just about anywhere and dress them up or down with skinny jeans or skirts. Can't get enough of this cozy-looking one I found on BCBG's site... My closet is crying out for one!
