black jeans for summer

Happy St. Paddy's Day! I guess I should have held the outfit with the olive green dolman top to share today. It's about the only green item in my closet. Instead, I'm sharing an easy monochromatic black outfit for spring with a sweater tee and kick flares.

I've got a desk to dinner look for spring with black kick flares for you today, and Banana Republic just launched their Friends & Family Sale! If you're a regular, you may recognize these Mother Insider crop jeans. I think I've finally landed on an outfit I can actually see myself wearing "in real life." Now, I just need the right occasion.

Friends, it's time to kick off 23 Days of Spring Fashion!!! This is when I team up with Cyndi Spivey, and we each style a new spring outfit every weekday during the month of March. To kick off this year's 23 Days of Spring Fashion, I'm styling an olive green bomber jacket outfit.

I've had a few questions lately about off-the-shoulder tops and if they're still in style. I don't wear them a lot, but I do like an off-the-shoulder top for date night and dressy summer events. This metallic jacquard blouse caught my eye for the bold yellow palm print.

It appears that Spring has decided to hibernate for a few days here in Philly, but I know it’s on its way. The forsythia told me so. Speaking of forsythia, I'm totally crushing on this utility jacket from Talbots. It's such a happy shade of yellow, and who doesn't need a little extra sunshine in their life right now?

Whenever I write a Summer Wardrobe Essentials post, a white denim jacket always makes the list. It's so crisp and fresh, and it works with dresses and jeans and everything in between. My all-time favorite denim jacket is this one from Kut from the Kloth. The fit is fantastic, and it has such nice shaping through the waist. Plus I love the lightweight denim -- it's not too hot even in warmer weather.

I can't believe these canvas espadrille wedges are back! My 3rd grade teacher wore these almost every day when I was in school, and I adored them. I wasted no time getting myself a pair and putting them to use! This spring outfit is one I'd wear to church, to meet friends for lunch, or to an event at my kids' school.

I'm not much of a florals girl, but when I knew I'd be taking outfit pictures in Florida, I wanted to showcase some looks that are summery and fun. I think it's safe to say this top fits the bill! This is the type of outfit I'd wear to a spring/summer event or out for a special dinner with my husband.

Hello, hello! Somehow it is Wednesday already AND the last day of May. It hardly seems possible. Today I've got a summer date night outfit that is more practical than the off-the-shoulder dress I styled yesterday. In fact, if you swap the heels for flat sandals, this can easily be an everyday look as well.

I’m back with another post in our Coast-to-Coast Summer Survival series and today we’re talking about a summer night out. I love putting date night outfits together, so I’ve been looking forward to this one! My idea of a fun summer night out is dining with good friends or my husband at an outdoor restaurant — preferably...
