Fields of Lilac

I bought these pants at Gap because they are similar to wool capris I bought from J Crew over the winter and I loved the color so much, I wanted to incorporate it into my Spring wardrobe.  The problem I have with colored pants is if I'm not careful with what I pair it with, I wind up looking a bit like an Easter egg.  So in response to this known problem, I Googled what colors match with lilac AND looked up ideas on Pinterest.  Grey was the first choice.  I then went with what colors make up purple and came up with blue.  I was quite pleased with how everything paired together and I don't think I look a bit like an Easter egg.  Yellow was a close runner up, but I'll try that next time!

Groundhog Day!

Happy Groundhog's Day!  Honestly, this is my favorite holiday because it is just so very silly.  We watched a recap of this morning's festivities from Pennsylvania this afternoon and it was an interesting discussion with Kira on why adults sometimes just make stuff up like this for fun.  By the way, he didn't see his shadow and it will be an early Spring!

I spent some time today thinning the hangers that my skirts reside on and paired them up two to a hanger so I can have easier access to them.  Some would say I should purge some skirts instead of finding creative ways to deal with the crowding, but I'm thinking outside the box today. It worked too!

My outfit today was thrown together from stuff hanging on my closet door that I've worn recently, haven't put away and wasn't terribly wrinkled.  I forgot to iron last night and we were in a rush this morning because of Kira's guitar lesson.  After pulling everything together, we got a call that her lesson was canceled due to the mini snowstorm we had this morning.  Oh well!

Thanks J Crew!

 My outfit inspiration totally came from J Crew, but only the blazer came from there.  I've had the shirt forever and I just bought the jeans at Old Navy. 

I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow and I can't wait.  It grows really fast and when my bangs get in my eyes, it drives me crazy.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
