Another attempt to stay warm but not wear jeans! I paired my Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress with my new sweater. The color of the sweater perfectly matched one of the colors in the print on the dress - score! Originally I was going to wear flat boots with this look but it made me look a little dumpy, the heeled boots solved that problem.  I also tried the outfit belted to add some definition, not sure how successful it was, but that's why we experiment! (hence why there are a lot of pictures from the same angles, to show the difference)

I always feel very 70s when I wear these Free People flares, and the addition of my new necklace really added to the vibe.  I won this super cool locket at South Moon Under's Grand Opening party, it's by House of Harlow and doubles as a locket! Now I just have to figure out what to put inside it. I also won this House of Harlow "Engraved Orb Pendant Necklace."  This is what I wore on Mother's Day, although it was a little too warm for the top, but I'll take warmth over cold any day, wouldn't you?

I wore this on Sunday to meet up with Lydia and Annie for brunch, we were supposed to have a larger group but sadly a bunch of the girls had to cancel.  We didn't get a group picture of the three of us since Annie had to leave a bit early and we ran out of time. We had delicious food and then went shopping at Village Vogue Boutique. I was hoping I wouldn't find anything but I ended up trying on a Burberry jacket (too big), Emanuel Ungaro jacket (liked, but was expensive) and a batik clothing set that I bought to wear as pajamas.

But just as I thought I was home free and wasn't going to use one of my five items in the French Wardrobe Challenge I saw a snake print skirt with a matching vest.  It was 60% (bringing the 2 pieces down to $23) off so I bought it and haven't decided if I'm keeping it and using it as one of my pieces, or if I'll resell it.  It may be too weird to wear both pieces together so I'll most likely just wear the skirt.

I wore my Carven Paris Map Print dress again, definitely glad I bought it as one of my five items! This is the third time I wore it, I styled it for a wedding shower and Easter already.

Last Thursday I headed to Westport for South Moon Under's Grand Opening/House of Harlow Trunk Show with Lydia.  I walked away with two gorgeous House of Harlow necklaces (one I bought, the other was in my gift bag) and had my eyebrows threaded at the Benefit Brow Bar - super cool! I also tried on this Eight Sixty top, but resisted buying it because I'm not sure I want it to be one of my "five" for the French Wardrobe Challenge.

I'm wearing my newest top from Marshalls here that I bought along with the other pieces in my confidence post.  I definitely think it's going to get lots of use this Summer!  And without even realizing it a lot of this outfit is Marshalls, but that will happen when half of your closet comes from the store. What can I say, I love getting deals on clothes, it makes me  happy.

This jacket has become my official Easter jacket. I feel weird wearing it most of the time, but the light yellow shade makes it perfect for Easter.  This was what I wore for our celebrations on Saturday with my Dad's side of the family.  This Carven dress is already getting lots of use! I am already planning to wear it again for a blogger get together next month, unless the weather doesn't cooperate.

This weekend I went to a surprise wedding shower for my cousin, so it was the perfect time to wear my new Carven Paris map print dress!  I went very matchy-matchy with the look and painted my nails red, wore a purple stoned necklace and my shoes also had a bit of the red in them.

Here is a closer look at one of my outfits from last week.  I wanted to pair this blazer with something other than jeans and while looking in my closet noticed the dress matched the orange polka dots on parts of the blazer.  Gotta love when thinks just happen to be a perfect pair.

This Saturday I had a last minute meetup with Lydia and Christine, which is always fun! Sadly it was a rainy day so I wasn't really in the mood to dress cute (Lydia was, she braved a skirt.) So here we have my rainy day outfit, which is basically my every day outfit, jeans + tee + sweater!
