Happy Monday, loves! Today I'm sharing an outfit I wore this past weekend on date night. I'm really into soft color palettes this winter and I wanted to give you a few tips on how to pull a neutral look off!
1. Pick a few colors that work well together:
This is fairly easy when going for an all neutral ensemble. For my look, I wore all gray underneath and accented with nude/camel and touch of pale pink. Some other colors you could try are light blue, lavender, or mint green!
2. Pick a Nude Shoe or Boot:
Nude footwear is the best way to pull your look together. You don't want to wear something too dark because you want to keep the color palette light.
3. Accent with a Bold Lip:
When wearing an ensemble like this, a bold red or pink lip will really stand out and take your look to the next level! I absolutely love this NARS lip pencil in Cruella.
I hope you enjoyed today's style tips! I'll be sharing the second part of this look tomorrow, so stay tuned!
ROSE QUARTZ
I'm so happy you've stopped by the blog today for my first post in 2016! Mr. Jones and I just returned to Seattle from the most amazing Christmas vacation in Southern California and I have so much to share from our trip! The change in weather has been rough on our first day back, but the snowflakes outside are so beautiful.
Since it's my first post in the new year, I wanted to talk about Pantone's colors of 2016! You will be seeing these colors everywhere this year just like Marala last year and I'm so excited. This year the colors are 'Rose Quartz' like the cozy sweater in this post and 'Serenity' which is a soft periwinkle. These colors are very soothing and also perfect to pair with some of your summer staples like white denim. I talked about wearing an outfit just like this here, but now you can see just what I'm talking about!
Later this month I'll be sharing some of my favorite winter pieces in Rose Quartz and Serenity, so check back soon! Thanks for stopping by today and Happy New Year!
WINTER WHITE
Today I'm sharing ways to wear white this winter with items you already have in your closet! Winter white can be intimidating, but not with these simple style tips.
1. Same Color Top & Shoes
Just like I did for this outfit, pair your white denim with a top and shoes that are the same color. The colors don't have to match exactly, but this is an easy way to pull your look together and look polished!
2. Neutral Tones
Soft neutral tones work perfectly with white jeans and can brighten up your winter wardrobe too! Think blush pinks, taupe, nude, and khaki. I just scored this cozy pink sweater that I plan on wearing with my white jeans and taupe suede booties!
3. All White
This may sound crazy, but when it's done right it's so pretty! The key is to mix items with different textures and go with a neutral shoe or boot. Below is an example of an outfit I wore for Thanksgiving in Kentucky!
What do you think of today's style tips?! I'd love to hear from you in the comments below! Thank you so for stopping by!
BLUE VELVET
I'll be honest, I haven't worn velvet since my 4th grade orchestra concert but when I saw this Topshop Bardot top, I had to have it. The blue jewel tone is absolutely gorgeous and it's perfect for the holidays!
When I was deciding what to wear with this top, I thought it would be fun to pair it with a pencil skirt so that you can incorporate something from your work wardrobe! Another option would be to pair this top with a black plaid pixie pant or wide leg wool pant.
Although this off the shoulder top might not be appropriate for the office, all you have to do is change tops after work and you're party ready! The Topshop version might be sold out by the time you read this post, but I have linked similar versions below (and a cozy sweater variation too)!
Thank you so much for stopping by Me & Mr. Jones, have a wonderful weekend!

This outfit is essentially a list of my favorite items. I wear this jacket constantly because it's comfortable, flattering, and lightweight, making it perfect to wear on those chilly spring mornings. I found a very similar jacket that is SO PERFECT for summer! I want it oh-so-bad, but I realize having two of almost the same jacket is a little silly (or is it?)! The Einstein mural is in Lexington's distillery district and one of my favorite murals ever. The artist is a creative genius if you ask me!
April 28
Today is my birthday! Thank you, Mom for bringing me into this big beautiful world. This is the first time in years that my birthday has been during Derby week and I couldn't be more excited! Mint Juleps and Derby Pie, anyone?

April Showers
Spring weather can be so unpredictable, so I'm always on the lookout for a good trench coat. This ruffled Jessica Simpson number immediately caught my eye and was perfect for a windy day at the races. The temperature was lower than expected so I paired my new MINKPINK dress with skinny jeans. After Keeneland, my mom and I did some exploring in downtown Lexington. How amazing is this Abraham Lincoln mural painted by Eduardo Kobra?!

In the weeks leading up to Easter Sunday, I had been traveling a lot for work and forgot to pack something for church. Luckily, I had this beautiful Halston dress with me and borrowed a shirt from my mom (thanks, mom!) to wear over it. Easter turned out to be such a beautiful day and the weather was so nice! Spending time in Lexington with my family was so relaxing and prepared me for many more weeks on the road. How was your Easter Sunday?
