Put Some Swing in Your Step

Let's get some swing spring in our step with pleated skirts. Not just a pin tuck or box pleat, I'm going all out with an accordion pleated skirt. This shape works for any size and it's flattering for work or play.

The Plastics

Acrylic and lucite often get lumped into the same category when it comes to jewelry. They have a plastic/mod feel that is a lot of fun to play with. These materials also offer a great array of colors and they don't carry the same price point as your standard metal pieces.

Sole Society, Speckled Lucite Link Necklace, $39

What did I tell you? A versatile statement necklace under $40.

Neiman Marcus, Moon and Lola Tortoise Acrylic Block Monogram Bracelet, $68

A classic statement bangle that is a great gift and under budget.

BaubleBar, Mini Acrylic State Pendant, $38

Choose your state, choose your color, choose your metal. Such a fun and personal piece.

Anthropologie, Lucite Bangles, $48

How cool and modern are these bangles? I love the mix of gold with the grays and blacks in the bangle.

Simple acrylic and lucite jewelry is a great way to spruce up your accessory game without breaking the bank.

Bow Down to the Bow

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I hope you had a lovely weekend. It snowed for a minute here in DC and it was just not ok. I'm ready for sunshine, shorts, and flowers. I'm ready for spring. Until we get there I am embracing pastels and things that remind me of spring. Today, I'm thinking bows. They are feminine, light, and a fun addition to any top.

Loft, Floral Charm Bow Neck Blouse, $59 $36! Extra 40% off right now!

Starting off strong with this beautiful print and a style that will work with jeans or a pencil skirt.

Chicnova, Christmas Chest Bow Tie Tank, $18

While I hate the name of this blouse, I love the blouse. I'd rough it up and pair it with a distressed denim or a leather jacket.

Nordstrom, Topshop Floral Print Bow Blouse, $70

A beautiful piece for right now. Floral but long-sleeved and the colors aren't Easter egg-ish.

Asos, The Laden Showroom X Even Vintage Bow Sleeve Fitted Top, $81

I love the shape of this blouse. It is quite unique and the color is perfect for any style.

When you think bows do you think pretty, pretty, princess and rainbows? Right. Bows have been updated to fit a mature wardrobe and you can add your own spin on things with accessories.
