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!

Suede skirts are a key trend piece this season and for good reason!  They are so versatile and I've worn mine so many times already.  Just like any good basic wardrobe staple, they can easily be dressed up, down, or in-between like this look I wore for a casual date night.  I'm also a huge fan of layering flannel shirts in the fall and it's fun to print mix with a stripe tee that has corresponding colors.  Since we were going to dinner in a walkable neighborhood, I opted for these perforated boots with a reasonable heel.  Luckily, I found a pair almost exactly like mine for only $35 here!  Whoohoo!

I found this gray MINKPINK dress while on an impromptu shopping trip at the downtown Seattle Nordstrom.  Not only is this dress extremely flattering, but it's also great for layering making it a perfect summer to fall transition piece.  It also looks adorable with a flannel shirt tied at the waist or an anorak jacket!

On most Saturday mornings I'm wearing workout clothes and running errands.  For this reason, I try to find workout pieces that can work for both.  Lululemon is always my go to for fun and fashionable gym apparel, I can't get enough of these pants!

It's finally starting to feel like summer and I couldn't be happier.  My favorite tops for warm weather are usually Free People; they always carry lightweight, flowy, and effortless tanks like this one from Nordstrom Rack.  I also can't get enough of Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri nail polish!  It dries so fast and comes in so many shades.  The one I'm wearing today is called "Set Sail" and is perfect for summer!

In my last post I told you how I am hooked on Old Navy's Pixie Pants.  It is becoming a serious love affair- how amazing is this floral printed pair?!  They are the perfect pant for spring even though we might be experiencing winter temperatures in Nashville today.  

Cheers to the weekend and Go Cats!

I am hooked on Old Navy's Pixie Pants!  This season they come in so many trendy and fun prints making them simply irresistible.  This windowpane pair caught my eye because I can easily mix them with other prints, but they also stand out when paired with a solid top.  Windowpane prints are everywhere this season, let's just call it summer plaid, shall we?  

Happy Thursday!
