Cute summer wear!

The humidity is killing me... its a must to go with a dress or skirt in this weather.  Today I went with one of my favorites, a ruffle layered skirt from Ann Taylor Loft.  I've worn it in the past but this time I paired light colors for more of a summer look.  Wanting the skirt to be the focus, I wore a simple heather gray T (Marshalls). I like to wear fitted plain t's with skirts, easy to tuck in and doesn't get all bunched in the waist.


My accent color for the look was gold.  I wore my chunky gold watch (Speidel), gold ruffle sandals (Madden Girl), gold wire headband (the LOFT) and lastly, my new find - long gold layered necklace! I love this new piece, well first I must explain... I'm pretty sure I accidentally threw out my favorite layered gold necklace, you'll see it in posts below.  It was simple with two strands, and had small knots on each layer - I LOVED it!  I'm still pretty devastated about it but in the mean time I had to try and find a replacement.


What do you think?  I think its pretty cute!  I like the layered strands and think the flower and diamond piece are great details!  Guess where its from... believe it or not I was in Kohl's this weekend with my mom and noticed it on the clearance rack... thanks Lauren Conrad :)

Tip: Keep the colors light to stay cool

Dressed for summer... Maybe I'm pushing it!

I can't believe how nice the weather has been, you might think it was summer!  The lawns all over campus were covered with students taking in the nice weather, those were the days of Castlebar beach (literally the 10x10 patch of grass in front of my off campus house senior year).  Enough reminiscing for now, lets get onto my look for today...

I knew the weather was going to be gorgeous and WARM, so I definitely wanted to wear a skirt.  The one I chose was a rose colored satin layered skirt.  Its the perfect length and real versatile for different looks.  Today I paired it with a tighter black t-shirt that I tucked in and wore a simple black short sleeve sweater over it.  The sweater is perfect to finish a look, I really like the zipper it has in the front.  I toyed between two necklaces this morning, the one I ended up choosing and a white and gold beaded piece.  Both were long, but I ended up going with the brushed gold locket.  I thought it blended better with the look instead of standing out.  This necklace was one of my finds at Domain in Providence - $7.50 I believe... You really cannot beat it!

Tomorrows going to be even nicer than today, probably the best day of the week.  I've heard 85 degrees - in March, ahhhhh, I'll take it!          

The look.
