This weekend I pulled all my spring & summer clothes out of storage & organized them back into my closet. It was equal parts thrilling (discovering items I’d almost forgotten about) and frustrating (realizing I still can’t wear many of them thanks to our never-ending winter). But, when I came across this blouse & sweater, I realized they would be perfect paired together for a bright tone-on-tone look. As a side note, I was downright giddy when I saw this coat on the clearance rack at my local store – apparently someone had ordered it online & returned…so it was heavily marked down + an extra 40% off = score!
What I’m wearing:
LOFT blouse (similar here or here), J. Crew sweater (this season’s style on sale here), J. Crew coat (similar), c/o Old Navy jeans (on sale here), Old Navy shoes (similar here or here), J. Crew necklace (similar), Merona bag (here), Ray-Ban wayfarers (similar), Nails: c/o Julep Alicia & Essie California Coral, Lips: Revlon Moon Drops Hot Coral

Oh lady, I think you have a sales shopping addiction! I love the bright colors, and particularly that bag. The zipper on the coat is over size and very eye catching, I love little details like that!

I still have not unpacked my spring clothes – it might make me too sad.
I am obsessed with those nails! Did you do those yourself?

I'm so excited to wear spring colors too. I actually wore the same color blouse yesterday on my blog! It's my new favorite color, I think. Check it out when you get a minute! Love this look… LOVE that necklace too. Have a great day!

I love the coral on coral! It is such a pretty color and you have styled it really well. I love that you're wearing summer clothes even though it's not quite summer yet (we still have a bunch of snow here). You look really lovely, and that really is an amazing coat! I'm so happy for you!
You got your spring stuff out already?!?! I feel like I only just put mine away 🙂 You are just ahead of game, lady! Color me impressed. But since I've bought a few springy things recently, I guess I have at least a couple shots of warm weather gear mixed in with my sweaters. Does that count? Anywho, love these bright corals mixed with gray. Really lovely.

I love all of the coral! Especially sweater and necklace. =)
I love the neons incorporated in a winter outfit! Genius! Question, what plug-in do you use for the "Pin-It" button on each picture?
Hi Laura,
I actually just googled how to add the pin-it button & followed the instructions to alter the html code in blogger. Kind of tricky, but if you find a good tutorial you can do it yourself! 🙂

Kimberly
Love that you're incorporating your spring/summer clothing into your winter rotation. Such a good idea to brighten up these dreary days 🙂
