Ready for spring? Nothing announces the coming of spring like wedding invitations! I love getting a little dressed up and a wedding is the perfect occasion to pull out my favorite pumps and go shopping for a new cocktail dress.
We have a wedding next month and right now I’m leaning towards a blush/beige ensemble like this:
This color palette is really complimentary to olive complexions such as mine and the layers make for easy wedding indoor/outdoor transitions. Now that my waist is slowly beginning to make an appearance, I’d love a beautiful cinched-waist dress and casual-ish belt (such a this braided version) to emphasize the return of the non-pregnant stomach. Pair that with suede pumps, gold jewelry and a long cardigan and this would be my perfect outfit!
When not in wedding mode, I tend to run around town in a work-meets-play get-up of dark trouser jeans, slightly dressed-up blouses and comfortable wedges or flats. Pair that with a military-inspired jacket and another slimming belt and I can go from home office to lunch meeting to errand running mom (eek – did I just say mom?) to cocktail hour and feel appropriately dressed for all of the above.
Oh I love this cascading ruffle blouse!
For source and pricing info (and more fun ideas), head on over to the Wardrobe Style Boards page. Happy Wednesday!

haha! You made me chuckle with your “errand running mom” comment. At least you’ll look chic while you’re running those errands! I love that cascading ruffle blouse as well. I was already scheming about how to make one for myself before I read your comment!

those wedding shoes are to die for!
