Lilac Celebrations

This past weekend John and I met my daughter and her husband for lunch to celebrate birthdays.  All of us had a birthday within the week except for daughter. 
I wore my new lilac jeans and new lilac/yellow cardigan with a pashmina scarf John had bought me a few years ago.

 While we were waiting for a table I noticed the flowers matched my outfit and had to get a photo.  Shelley took this on her phone and it was a bit dark.  I did my best to lighten it up enough to see the pretty flowers.

Graphic Tee + Scarf

 I love a graphic tee.  This one is very casual and has a floral pattern with bits of teal.  This was a cooler day and so I threw on the scarf and wore a cute pair of flats with bows made out of zippers.

I'm really loving my new leopard tee with sparkly bits!  Can you see his face? :)
It's short sleeves so it can be worn alone or layered and will be suitable for all year round.

These brown jeans are one of my favorites.  Love their fit and length.

Large gold hoops, gold chain necklace and golden bangles to accessorize.

Gray With Navy

This outfit is a combination of gray, navy, and silver.  Silver is worn for the earrings, bracelet, and also in the chains on the shoes and rings on the purse.  I am trying (and like) this scarf technique that I have seen quite often on one of my favorite fashion blogs... A Key to the Armoire.  I love Susana's style and she is always so beautifully put together.  I love finding new blogs that inspire and I hope you will check out hers and enjoy it as much as I do.

Stripes With Denim

 This has to be a favorite of mine...red stripes and blue denim.
I am cultivating a dream list of outfits I would choose if I were to minimize my wardrobe.  I would have to add this one to it for the fact that it suits all my comfort needs, it reminds me of summer, and I feel good wearing it.

 This is a first time wear for the denim button down.  You can't see it here, but it has studs on the shoulder area.  I'll probably wear it by itself with some white jeans sometime to show off the stud detail.

New Coral Cardigan

I am loving coral and minty colors at the moment.  This is a new cardigan and also a new top...both with coral colors.

For the last couple of years I've tried to photograph and notate brand/price/date and place of purchase for clothing items I thrift...but I guess I totally forgot to do that for this sweater and I can't remember now what I paid for it, but I'm sure it was probably around $3....possibly less.
And speaking of mint, I also bought a really cute mint blouse with polka dots that I'm in love with.  I've never been one to ever really like to wear thin blouses, but I'm suddenly enamored with them.  I also have two gray/blackish/white ones in a snakeskin and animal print that I have yet to wear, but am looking forward to it.

Linking up with Patti for Visible Monday at Not Dead Yet Style.

I really like how these Style & Co. jeans fit.  I will keep my eye out for this brand when thrifting.  This is one of a few new cardigans I've bought, but had not yet worn.  I'll be wearing the other, more spring-summer colored, ones in the upcoming weeks.
