Bright Blue for Spring

 

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Everyone has their own personal wardrobe staples, 

and one of mine is a knee length fit and flare dress

This dress has been seen on the blog 

numerous times before,

 styled and layered in different ways

What are your personal wardrobe staples?

Today, I am wearing the blue, green, black and white

 floral printed fit and flare dress,

with a bright blue, elbow length,

 puff sleeve blouse layered underneath

Blues of all shades are trending this spring,

bright and deep cobalts, as well as the typical pastels

The blouse is collarless, and has pretty smocked sleeve trim 

For this styling,I added a dark grey reptile embossed belt

to the dress

Carrying a favorite little bag of mine

 It is a hard case handle bag, 

with a photograph of two playful hound dogs on both sides

 It adds such a fun and whimsical touch to so many outfits!

For jewelry I chose a silver tone chain link bracelet 

with a rhinestone heart charm,

 and a pair of 1950's vintage clip earrings

 The stylized shape of the earrings

 remind me of angel wings

This curved triangular shape was very popular in the 50s,

 in a lot of different motifs like leaves and flowers 

Suede bags and shoes

 are very much in fashion now,

even through the spring

 These black suede, low wedge heel

sling back peep toes are well over 10 years old-

 What comes around goes around again and again!

 These have held up really well, 

although admittedly, they don't get a lot of wear

Here is another styling of my wardrobe staple dress, 

over a semi sheer ivory blouse in this wear from spring 2020

Notice I am carrying the same bag!

It's tulip season!

🌷🌷🌷

 I hope you have the opportunity 

to enjoy these beautiful, blooms

Thanks for joining me,

hope you have a great week!
