spring, spring, spring!


  

I think one of my favorite things about spring is that you can unapologetically wear as many pastels as you want.  Which is what I do, pretty much daily.  I’ve got a real thing for coral and mint this season.  Come to think of it, I’ve got a thing for coral and mint every spring season.  I never had much pink in my closet but coral, that’s a different story.  And mint?  Talk about turquoise’s better looking brother.  Such a dreamy shade of blueish-green.  I literally cannot get enough of it.


When I saw these pants on J Crew Factory’s website (in the–ahem, kids section) it was literally one of the only times in my life where I’ve thanked the stars that I’m small enough to wear the clothes of a 12 year-old girl.  They’re minty-gingham, for crying out loud.  Your mind is surely blown, as mine was.



Anyways, the moral of the story is:






Pants: J Crew Factory (kids-similar dreamy adult versions here and here.)

Blouse: Loft.  (old similar here and here.)

Blazer: H&M

Shoes: Old Navy (old similar here.)

Bag: Kenneth Cole Reaction. (obsessed with this striped bag.)

    Love everything about your ensemble! If you must shorten your pants, do you hem them to a certain length just above your ankles? I noticed your pants always look so good on you. I am also very petite, and can’t seem to find just the right length. I bought some “boyfriend” jeans and when I turn the cuff up, it just doesn’t look flattering on me. (I’m 5’0, 105 lbs) I would appreciate any of your tips!

    Cori,

    Oh my! You look stunning (although that’s not surprising – you always look great)! Love the combo! Of all the bloggers I follow, I find I can relate to you the most – like you, I’m petite & Mom (to two). I have to admit to being obsessed with your blog – I promise I won’t complain if you post seven times a day :). Also, I want 90% of the things in your closet – so if you ever want to swap your wardrobe with someone living across the pond, just give me a shout ;) And a GAZILLION thanks for pointing me in the direction of the Potato Peel Society book – loving every bit of what I’ve read so far. Looks like our taste in books might be similar too – so I’m looking forward to any other recommendations you might have.
