RAID HIS CLOSET TO WEAR THE GINGHAM TREND

I am loving the gingham trend that’s all over the magazines for spring, but I just can’t spend anymore this month – or next month for that matter. Lucky for me, I am the ultimate creative problem-solver when it comes to shopping in my own closet. And then it struck me! My boyfriend’s closet has all these awesome plaid shirts that TOTALLY fit the bill – I know this because I built his wardrobe myself (see the post all about it here). I grabbed a  couple and with a few tweaks, gave them an on-trend and feminine touch. Read on for a couple ideas!

So today let’s cover three ways to wear cowboy boots – with a dress, with shorts and with skinny jeans.

SPRING SHADE TREND – BLUSH AND NUDE

They’re everywhere! Blush and nude. I mean, they are basically the same color so I paired two pieces together from each shade and made a fancy dress look out of it! I’ve discovered the key to pulling off this color when you are very pale is dark accents, like these deep brown sandals, belt and sunglasses. They break up the monotony and help to call attention to good parts – like your face, waist and legs!

BELLE MEETS MOB WIVES – MY EXPERIMENT WITH A STYLISH SWEATSUIT

Every once in a while, a gal must step out of her comfort zone and try new things. Last year, I tried a jumpsuit – fail. This year, it was a sassy, well-cut sweatsuit.
