Spring Casual



When I think of Spring fashion, comfortable florals and colorful outfits come to mind. My closet once used to be very black and white but I've been adding lots of colorful tops and accessories over the past few years. I don't however own many floral pieces probably because I'm very picky with florals as they can't be too "flowery". Does that even make sense? I guess I don't like too much noise in my outfits. This cute yet subtle floral top from Forever 21 has been in my closet for over 7 years and I still love it! It's has a super comfortable elastic waist and is light and airy for Spring and Summer in Florida.

 

We took these photos while exploring the historic district in St. Augustine over Easter weekend. One of my favorite (and must-have) accessories for traveling is a good size cross body purse that can fit more that just a couple credit cards and a lipstick. My pink Kate Spade cross body purse is the perfect travel companion (this particular one is sold out but they do have similar cross body purses in a variety of colors).



I don't consider myself a fashion blogger and I don't have a professional photographer sidekick so these photos come to you as they are - unedited and imperfect. I love fashion and will share some favorite outfits from time to time.



Has anyone tried mid-rise jeans as yet? They are life-changing!! At least they are a life-changer for me and my particular body type. Express has a good variety of styles and after wearing my first pair for a few weeks (the Dark Wash Mid Rise Supersoft Jean Legging that I'm wearing in these photos), I've gone back and purchased two more styles.



Mac's Flat Out Fabulous matte lipstick is still one of my prettiest lip colors and it was the perfect touch for this spring-inspired outfit.

While we were exploring downtown St. Augustine, we had to make a stop at one of my favorite spots,  Sangria's Wine & Piano Bar to cool down and have a refreshing glass of fruity sangria.



I bought these adorable Purple Flash Mirror Aviators in Las Vegas last year from the Michael Kors store with some winnings from the Wheel of Fortune slot machine. Purple is my favorite color so I couldn't resist but they definitely don't go with just any outfit. Luckily I was able to wear them out that weekend with the outfits I packed.



My latest Kendra Scott addition (purchased from Rocksbox) is this adjustable Jamie Bracelet in Platinum Drusy which I love because it sparkles in the light. Rocksbox just sent me the matching necklace and earrings so temptation is running high to purchase those as well. I mean they're meant to be worn together, right?

  3. I love florals, but sometimes I don't want to wear something so bold. I love how your top has florals but they're very subtle so you can spice it up with your accessories and makeup!

  4. I love this outfit and those sunglasses are amazing!!! Purple is my favorite color too :) I really like the KS bag you have, the color is so pretty. I am all about any jeans that aren't low rise. I hate low rise pants. I always feel like I am constantly pulling at them.

  16. Emily, can you be any more adorable? I love this look so much and I have so been wanting to try the express mid rise, I'm glad you recommend them, I can't wait to go try some on! And talk about a pop of color that Kate Spade cross body is absolutely perfect! And you know what! I don't like perfect pictures you know my sons take most of mine and I barely edit and The Mr. did a fantastic job for you they are imperfectly perfect!! You know which picture is my favorite? The close-up of you with your cocktail and your pretty lipstick you look so fun and so so pretty!

  17. I totally get you on the floral, but not too floral. I have such a hard time finding the perfect floral tops. I love dresses for Spring, even though Chicago doesn't seem to get that it's supposed to be warm not snowing right now. Once I move to Houston, dresses are going to be a staple for me. Also I love those purple sunglasses, I was tempted to buy the green Ray-Ban's, but went with a subtle blue that can be worn with everything. Also of course the matching set should be a purchase, I mean it matches :)!
