Fashion Friday: Tickled pink

Top: Wisteria Boutique | Necklace: GroopDealz | Skirt: DownEast Basics | Shoes: old

I walked into the mall on Memorial Day intending to just buy an air freshener for our new car and walked out with this cute new skirt (which was on sale AND on even further clearance), too. While I don't usually wear dresses to work, I wore this all day and was impressed with how comfortable it was. It's lightweight, soft and the perfect length.

If you're wearing a white skirt, even one that's colorblocked like this one, make sure to add a bit of color on top so you don't look washed out. This mint top is fast becoming one of my favorite pieces as well, and it matched the mint of the skirt perfectly.

Do you like the colorblock trend? How do you style white skirts?

Fashion Friday: Mint and cream

Jacket: TJ Maxx (old) | Pants: Celebrity Pink via Macy's | Scarf: DownEast Basics | Headband: Romy

It's been a while since I did a Fashion Friday post, so I thought I'd share this picture Andrew took of me right before St. Patrick's Day (hence the green pants). I love this elephant-print scarf and have been wearing it a lot lately; the grey and white make it neutral enough to go with practically everything.

Have you bought any cool scarves lately? I'd love to have a polka-dotted one in my collection, but I haven't found the right one yet.

Fashion Friday: Olive and mint

Cardigan: Cotton On | Cowl: Beatknits | Pants: Celebrity Pink | Boots: Pink & Pepper

It's kind of hard to tell in this picture (curse you, winter drudgery, making it impossible to take photos outside!), but this cowl is a gorgeous olive green color that looks great with the bright mint. 

I actually had my lovely friend Kirsten make this cowl for me more than two years ago when I saw a similar one on Etsy -- and I absolutely love it still and highly recommend her shop, Beatknits. She makes beautiful pieces that are really warm, and I love the little touches she adds (like the fun wooden button she sewed on this cowl).

Wearing shades of the same color (and then tying them together with neutrals) is an easy way to look polished. And, as I'm sure you've noticed, I wear these boots all the time. Taupe really does go with everything.

What's your favorite shade of green? I'm totally loving mint -- although emerald is the Pantone color of the year, so I may have to invest in that soon, too.
