Target wins again. I found this great tan cardigan on sale a couple of weeks ago and was just giddy! love this color. It's a great neutral that is perfect for Spring transitions, in my opinion.

P.S. They still have it and it's under $10 in multiple colors... Just saying. 

I wore this a couple of weeks ago when it was still blizzard central in CO. Pairing this color with black pants (oh yes you can mix black and brown) and burgundy shoes was perfect for the cool temperatures. But with Spring upon us and temperatures rising, it's the perfect layering piece to go with whites, pastels, and other colorful prints and hues. Earthy tones don't have to be limited to Fall and Winter - get adventurous with color mixing, you'd be surprised what you come up with and how actually awesome it looks!

In other news, have you bought yourself a pair of these pants yet??? I've been posting about them a lot lately (sorry... I'm not sorry ;)), but what can I say? An awesome pair of pants deserve to be loved. My style is all about simple pairings and transitional/versatile pieces. Gotta love when you find staple pieces that fit your style!

What are your favorite wardrobe staples? And what fun color combos have you paired lately? I'd love to hear! Who knows, maybe we'll inspire each other :)

Floral Kimono

Kimono: Patterns & Pops / Pants: H&M / Tank: Nordstrom / Necklace: Vince Camuto / Shoes: Jessica Simpson (on sale!) / Sunglasses: Ray-Ban / Watch: Michael Kors (my color no longer available) / Lip Color (my FAVORITE combo): Maybelline 'The Buffs' collection in Blushing Beige (#915) + Cargo lipgloss in Anguilla

So. I completely fell IN LOVE with this floral kimono. As in when I visited the wonderful ladies from Patterns & Pops during one of their pop up shops, I didn't take this thing off once I tried it on. What a fun piece! I love pairing it with all black or white so it stands out. During the summer I can't wait to wear it with rompers, shorts, and even as a swimsuit coverup! When I was in Nice this past September, I wore another kimono of mine to the beach over a suit and felt just a touch more glamorous after a day on the beach. See that pic below!

Now let me tell you about these pants. Oh my gosh are they awesome. I don't even know how to explain the material. It kind of looks like leather, but feels more like rubber - which sounds bizarre but they are literally the best and most comfortable pants EVER. Whenever I'm struggling to come up with an outfit or I'm in a rush to change, these are always my go to. They pair perfectly with a simple tee, or look extra chic with a dressy blouse. You'll see much more of these pants in the future :)
