Coral + Mint. Has there ever been a better color combination? I love how these two bold colors compliment each other so well! I paired this simple blouse with a loose fit distressed boyfriend jean that I picked up a year or so ago. Of course, no outfit this time of year would be complete without my trusty leopard heel! Leopard is a neutral - right?

ALL DRESSED UP IN CORAL

CORAL DRESS: BELK - SIMILAR HERE - $68   //   LEOPARD HEELS: DSW - SAME HERE - $70   //   

BAG: KATE SPADE - SIMILAR HERE, HERE, & HERE - $179   //   TURQUOISE EARRINGS: AMERICA'S MART - SIMILAR HERE - $45

It's the times that I see my hair like this that I realize how obscenely long it's gotten -and naturally- want to chop it off. Unfortunately considering my hair grows about an inch a year, that isn't in the cards for me. The wedding is nearly one year away, so it looks like i'll be putting the breaks on the haircut and embracing my locks at least until the honeymoon. 

THE EARTH LAUGHS IN FLOWERS: Floral Shirt & Cuffed Pants

FLORAL TOP: F21 - SAME HERE - $15   //   KHAKI PANTS: AEO - SIMILAR HERE - $59   //   BAG: KATE SPADE - SIMILAR HERE, HERE, & HERE - $179   //   NUDE HEELS: F21 - SIMILAR HERE - $44

I dug these pants out from the grave (aka my winter closet) and am so glad that I did. I haven't worn them in years but when white felt a bit too formal for this top, the khaki worked just right. The hem is a classic skinny, but I have recently been into cuffing the bottom of my jeans (2 inch, double cuff) to add a slight flair. Finish with nude pump and a statement bag, voila. Insta-chic.

BLUSHING: Pleated Swing Dress

DRESS: CHICWISH - SAME HERE - $60  //  HEELS: GUESS - SAME HERE - $40  //  MINT KATE SPADE TOTE - SIMILAR HERE - $500  //  NECKLACE: eBAY - SAME HERE - $4

I absolutely adore this dress and was so excited to wear it for the very first time at the Southern Blogger Society Conference last weekend in Atlanta. Chicwish has the cutest pieces that are so unique. The prints and designs aren't what you normally find in stores and that is my favorite part. If you are patient (shipping takes a few weeks!) Then you would love this online boutique + this customer service is fabulous! 

Tomorrow I will recap my entire Southern Blogger Society Conference CoffeeTalk experience on the blog, so be sure to come back and check it out!

COLOR BLOCK STYLE

Dress: Franchesas (borrowed) - Similar Here - $24   //   Nude Pumps: F21 - Similar Here - $60   //   Earrings - Kore Luxe - Similar Here - $12   //   Rose Gold Fuelband: Nike - Same Here - $169   //    Rose Gold Watch: Kennith Cole - Same Here - $125   //   Kate Spade Tote: Kate Spade - Similar Here & Here- $200

Last night I had a rare opportunity to catch up with one of my oldest friends (& of course her closet.) This adorable piece is from Francesa's  and while currently out of season it's also year-round adorable. I knew this would look stellar with my Kate Spade bag and had to borrow it. Closet swaps are such a fun way to take styles for a test drive. While this piece is so me, this particular bestie always pushes my fashion boundaries (she's been trying to get me into a romper for years!) Testing out trends & styles that you wouldn't normally buy yourself are a great way to get the most out of an exchange. Then, of course, swap out a few goodies that are right up your alley & can't wait to style!

Have you done a closet swap lately?

WHITE MIDI SKIRT

Blush Top: H&M - Similar Here - $22   //   White Midi Skirt: Chicwish - Same Here - $46   //   Kate Spade Tote: Kate Spade - Similar Here & Here- $200  //   Nude Heels: F21 - Similar Here - $59   //   Necklace: eBay - Similar Here - $4

So when I wore this outfit, there were different things that people asked me about. "Where is that skirt from?" Chicwish, you should check them out! "How do you get your hair to stay?" H&M Hair Donut. "Did you retouch your lipstick?" Not once since 7 AM. ELF Matte Lip Crayon - I swear by it. But my favorite question was "Where did you get your necklace?" eBay - $4. I couldn't wait to find the right outfit for this necklace and this skirt sealed the deal. I posted about buying eBay jewels before here, and have gotten so many messages from you guys telling me what a great discovery it was! I still pick up a few pieces from time to time so i'll have to do a full review once I have a collection to share.
