wrap and tie

Scarf season is going to be around for quite a while yet...  I usually just do the wrap around and go but maybe switching that up would bring a freshness to the winter uniform as we get closer to spring...

 

Although I have to say, I find wrapping the scarf around and tucking it under the parka to be the warmest. Maybe once we hit that magic day of March 20th cuteness can triumph over warmness? Let's hope so.

Sprucing Up

Whenever the seasons start to transition I find myself needing to transition or spruce up my look.  In an effort to cut spending, my fall shopping is predominately window shopping but I think I shall add a few new accessories to help spruce up and pull together my fall wardrobe.  There are lots of simple, pretty accessories this season...

Ah... I love online window shopping!  And I really love the accessories that are out there this fall.

Flowie Garden Love

There is always room in the closet for one more completely impractical, pretty bag for the summer.  I am loving the flowie garden love linen bag.  Even the name is pretty...

And maybe there is room for this lovely little outfit.  There must be something planned for this summer that I need this for...

Fabulous Day Date Look: Styled by Yellow Brick Blog

I am a huge fan of Lyndsy's Yellow Brick Blog and her fabulous, upbeat style.  She always finds such cute, fresh outfits that are budget friendly.  I so excited that she is guest blogging today and sharing her savvy style ideas with us!

 When Tara asked if I would be interested in a guest post while she made the big move, I was completely honored, flattered and excited. I have been reading In This Instance for over a year, and always impressed with her creativity and suggestions for weddings or everyday life. Thank you Tara for allowing me to be a part of your fabulous blog!

While the economy continues to look gloomy, and people have begun filling their piggy banks again, it is important to remember that you can still look fabulously chic for cheap. March 20 marks the first day of spring, which means all those short sleeve tops, tanks, dresses and bright colored clothes are able to breathe again and come and play.

Below is my ideal day date outfit. Doesn’t matter if it is walking the local Farmers Market, cruising on a yacht, reading a book in the park or shopping downtown, you’ll look spectacular in all of the items below for under $150.

 

 

Farmers Market Day Date by Lyndsy

 This Stripe Block Poplin Dress from Topshop screamed spring to me. It’s flirty, sporty and fun (perfect for an outing with the girls or that special someone). While spring always brings some more warmth, it is always a good idea to bring a little something for when the sun goes down. This City Style Fringed Pashmina from New York & Company will the get the job done and done. When accessorizing is best to stay simple with a bold print, and these Aspen Leaf Earring from Modcloth.com and City of Angels Sunglasses from Lulu’s will keep the focus on beautiful you, but add just a little glamour to your day. Since I am a bit of a shorty, I like to try and always wear some sort of heel or wedge to make my legs look just a little bit longer and H&M has a great variety of heels (and flats if you were blessed with longer legs) at affordable prices.  Clicking on the picture above will take you to Polyvore with links to each of the items in this outfit.

Times are tough, but looking cute and feeling good can all be achieved with a few well priced items and confidence. Chances are no one will notice how much you spent, but rather how marvelous you look with the smile on your face from saving lots of dough.

Cheers!

 Thank you, Lyndsy, for sharing this cute outfit idea with us!
