Maxi skirts are one of those whimsical spring/ summer items that I aspire to wear. I throw my long black maxi skirt on with high hopes of making a relaxed, yet polished look, only to tear it off frustrated when I can’t find the right combination. Unfortunately, most of the inspiration I have found always involve a cut off top that is too short or a boho look that doesn’t necessarily work with my daily activities. I was browsing around  some of my favorite blogs last night and I found some great inspiration that have encouraged me to give my maxi skirt another try.

Spring Fever

Every spring, I get the itch to try something new with my hair. In the past, it has resulted in some pretty bad haircuts. I can’t pull off the super short looks, and yet I keep trying.  About two years ago, I must have finally realized that I can’t pull off the pixie cut ( I think looking at some old pictures of me with my short hair convinced me..Eeeek!) and I let my hair grow. It’s a nice long length right now, so for my spring haircut, I am not going to chop it off.  I am thinking of trying the ombre color style. Right now my hair is dark brown so I am excited about adding in some caramel highlights!

Below is my inspiration…

Color Therapy

My spring wardrobe consists mostly of black, grey and the occasional white/pink. I’ll admit, I am not very adventurous when it comes to color. Maybe it’s because I am too practical with my purchases, but if I spend money on a piece of clothing, I want to know it can transition through most of the seasons and will match everything in my closet. Boorriiinnnggg.

This spring, I have promised myself to only buy items that have color. After swallowing sheer panic as I purchased my first coral pencil skirt from our local Target. I found myself feeling liberated.

Oh.my.gosh. what have I unleashed? Now I can’t seem to buy something unless it has color! Not quite yet willing to spend some big bucks on a gorgeous pair of bright pants like this, I nabbed these over the weekend. Sunny and bright, these capris are dirt cheap and have instantly taken my weekend wardrobe to a happy, colorful place. 

I paired them with a white t-shirt, some chunky mint green jewelry, black heels and BAM! I had a colorful outfit that made my black and grey wardrobe nearly have a nervous breakdown. But hey, my closet can’t get too freaked out, I DID wear a pair of black heels…
