Denim on Denim

I don't know about you all, but so far it is not feeling like spring to me.  I am so ready for some warmer weather and sunshine.  And mostly I'm ready for some new options of clothes to wear!  I am so tired of my winter wardrobe.  And what do you do when you are uninspired...go shopping!  I am so excited because I found this awesome new blue chambray shirt recently.  I had been wanting one of these for so long, but just couldn't find the right fit/color combo.  Until now!  Thank you Macy's.  I was jut wandering around to kill some time and hit the jack pot.  Don't you love when that happens???  I paired it with black denim and my biker boots for a more tough, cool chic vibe...cause that's me!  But I will also be pairing this with dark blue denim, white denim, and shorts in the summer.  It is quite the versatile piece.  (P.S.  Pardon my look in the pictures...I was battling a sinus cold and was not feeling great this day.)

Downtown Cool

This outfit was inspired by the idea of going out downtown on a Friday night...which is what I thought I was getting dressed up to go do.  Turns out I just ended up really overdressed for family dinner at my parents.  But hey, its better to be overdressed than under dressed, as I always say.  This family dinner was a rare occasion because my brother, sister-in-law, and niece were visiting from Florida.  One of those rare times when we had both my niece and nephew together and it doesn't get much better than that.  It could have been marginally better if I hadn't just had the flu the day before, but thats neither here nor there.  Even though I was way overdressed, it did feel nice to curl my hair and put some makeup on.  And had we gone out...I would have been rockin it!  P.S.  The super cool jeans here are from my sister-in-law Jess...thanks again girlfriend!
