Spring is officially here!! And what better way to celebrate than to wear some fun florals, right? For those of you that follow my blog, this floral pattern might look familiar in skirt form from a previous post. Unfortunately that skirt made me feel like I had a fupa and I decided it just wasn’t worth alterations. So back to the store it went. Lucky for me though, the same exact print was also in blouse and scarf form! I went to LOFT this past weekend armed with a $15 gift card (it was my Dad’s birthday a few weeks ago and he opened a LOFT card to help my mom and I get discounts!) and walked out totally psyched that I found this floral shell on their clearance rack in my size for only $11.95. Amaze-balls, right?
For my Color Brigade entry this week, I decide to try a more muted but still colorful look. I’ve been going a little loud and bold in my more recent Color Brigade posts, so this week I wanted to swing the pendulum to the other side and go with a soft, feminine combination. Let me know what you guys think! 🙂
You know the drill with Color Brigade! I want to see your colorful outfit combinations!! Link up your looks below.
Note: feel free to link up any outfit you wore in the past week or an
outfit that you’ll be wearing later this week — it doesn’t have to be
something you actually wore today!

For the love, Kileen! I have GOT to jump on this bandwagon! I haven't posted my outfit from today, yet. And I thought it was cute, but it was really monochromatic. I am SOOOO loving this outfit. And score for an amazeballs steal at LOFT! LOVE that place!
I love the cardi! What a beautiful color on you. Love your hairstyle too. Very cute! You look GORG girl! Kiah
I think your St Pattys Day outfit would be perfect for the Color Brigade!! You should link up and join the partay. 🙂
love the color combo, makes me think of sunshine, even though its not bright yellow.
How nice of your dad to open the LOFT account on his birthday for you and your mom!
You can just link up with an outfit from whenever?
Yup! Easy, huh? 🙂
Kileen
Amaze-balls, I think. 🙂
You and your sexy heels! 🙂 I love them! I just realize how adorable you are with that bun!! 🙂 As always, your outfits are inspirational to me! One day I will participate in your color brigade 😀
I like it as a top better than as a skirt… And you did just introduce me to that word (fupa) haha!
Oh thank you so much!! That means so much coming from you, Jen!! It's honestly because I have such inspirational people like yourself to look up to!! 🙂
As for the hair, I did record a little tutorial here: http://cutenlittle.wpengine.com/2011/01/tutorial-messy-bun-look-using-goody.html
I was too scared to do alterations and just decided it would be too complicated. The skirt just fit me all funny!
And snow this late in March?! Yikes. I'm so in love with your outfit though!!
Funny, it made me think of sunshine too!! 🙂
lol, just don't teach it to your kids at school!! 🙂 I don't want angry parents coming after me, lol.
Very pretty! I love how you took the mustard color cardi and grey skirt from winter to spring with the beautiful floral top.
Thank you so much for the great link up!
Yes, for sure amaze-balls!! 😀
Aw you look so happy and vibrant 🙂 gorgeous!

I recently bought a J.Crew cardi that's a mix of olive/brown/yellow and have NO IDEA what to wear with it. Thanks to you I've got great inspiration now. LOVE this look!
oh yes, i would definitely mix the olive/brown/yellow with some light pinks
like i did. i think it really adds a spring vibe to the look! 🙂
you pull off that high bun SO well! now i want to try! yay for spring and florals 🙂
For whatever reason I don't ever wear (actually don't even own) any pieces with ruffled edges, but this cardigan is super feminine and perfect on you. Love that mustard color.
Lovely outfit, the floral blouse and the yellow cardigan look great on you. I love your hair in a bun!!
I love the top, the cut is so cute
I have been wanting a mustard colored cardi, this one is so cute
I may have to get one asap
That is HILARIOUS that your dad opened a Loft credit card to get you and your mom discounts.
Love this look!
Yup, my dad knows his role whenever he goes shopping with my mom and me. 🙂
I love your mustard cardigan with the ruffle! I might just join this color brigade sometime and break out of my dull box 🙂

Love it! I almost bought the skirt in that print. The top is amazing, though, too! Especially for that price. That is so freakin' sweet of your dad to think of you and your mom on his birthday. It was my dad's birthday last week and I got nothing! 😉
I just love this print so whether it is in a skirt or a shell, I just love seeing it. And these shoes look amazing on you.

Just bought the same shell. 🙂 Lovely floral print!
