A Pop of Spring Color Outfit

Yesterday, just in time for an Easter trip to New Jersey, Spring finally graced us with it’s presence even if for just a few hours. The sun was shining brightly as we headed to the train station and it was warm enough that a light jacket and sweater was the only layers needed! Even though it was raining, in true April fashion, by the time we left New Jersey, it’s nice to know that Spring is finally here and freezing temperatures are behind us.

During this transitional month before it’s warm enough for skirts and summer dresses, I find myself wearing light weight sweaters and jeans for both casual weekend wear and lunch dates with friends alike. I love outfits like the one below because it can easily go from casual to an evening out with friends thanks to the classic lines, dark jeans, and fun accessories. Inspired by bright Easter eggs and the tulips I saw at the Union Square Farmers Market this weekend, this is a bit brighter than I’d normally tend to go but I love the mix! I wore the jeans, sweater and necklace yesterday for a fun Easter pop of color though my shoes and purse weren’t nearly as fun. However, thanks to a gift card burning in my pocket I just bought both the clutch and the flats!

Please realize that I laughed as I typed this title.

I don’t consider myself to be fashionable in any sense of the word. Over half my closet is from one store and I depend on a few of my friends to help me on shopping trips so I can go outside my comfort zone. But, since I work in the beauty industry and interact with clients, it is important to at least look polished and put together.

A few days ago I snapped a picture of my outfit and posted it to Instagram because it was fun and something different. So many people commented, liked it, and even asked for more that I kept it up this whole week. It made me think twice each morning when I put my outfits together and was a fun way to switch things up from running and food pictures.

So while I recommend you check out actual fashion blogs if you want fashion advice or inspiration, here is my week, Instagram Fashion style.

JCrew Sale

While losing weight and getting toned is definitely a wonderful feeling, it can be very hard on the wallet. Just last year I spent more than I’d like to admit on new clothes from some of my favorite stores because none of my current clothes fit. Now, less than a year later, those new clothes are baggy and unbecoming while all my old clothes are suddenly new again.

I’ve decided to donate most of my business clothes to Dress for Success, a wonderful woman’s philanthropy organization which helps provide work clothes for women who can’t afford them otherwise.

Dress for Success

But, when it comes to the rest of my closet, I thought it’d be fun to offer some of the pieces to you all at a discount. Think of it as a blog sale of sorts.

Below you’ll find the pictures, along with the link to the item if it’s still available on the retailer’s website. I’m only posting a few as of now just to see if there is even interest. If you are interested in an item, please leave a comment below. I will do a flat rate shipping of $5 unless you’re located in NYC.
