a bold spring

Wearing pastels in a Michigan thing is tough thing to get away with.

The weather is super unpredictable when it's not freezing, and everyone still wears their black down jackets over everything up until the beginning of May, just in case. Nothing looks more ridiculous than a pastel spring ensemble with a heavy down coat.

That's why I opt for saturated pastels. Bold colors that are a nice change from the neutrals of winter, but don't look out of place in 40 degree weather. Here's what I'm talking about:

1. {Sabine Elephant Bangle} 

2. {Winter Kate Gold Long Sleeve Blouse} 

3. {Michael Kors Runway 3 Hand Watch} 

4. {Danielle Nicole Peyton Satchel} 

5. {Sperry Topsider Delancy Shoe}

^^ All these items are from {Piperlime}. I love that site! ^^

art deco jewelry

Looking through my nana's jewelry is always a blast. Most of her broaches, necklaces, and rings cost her almost nothing, but are priceless and so rare today. That art deco style is everywhere and usually super expensive.

Thank the lord for the options I found above (they look like the real thing and cost less than $40):

1. {Sabine Art Deco Shield Ring}

2. {Sabine Deco Geo Drop Earring}

3. {Sequin Victorian Cuff}

4. {Tinley Road Art Deco Bangles}
