In The Secret Garden

Yes, I realize these tights are a little loud... which is why it's taken me so long to finally wear them. But that's not to say that I don't like them.  Plus, you know I love a fashion challenge.

Orange and blue roses isn't a print you see everyday, either. I bought these floral print leggings from Threadsense without a specific shirt to wear with them in mind, but coincidentally, this blue peplum top (the same one I wore to Lucky FABB in September) manages to tone them down a bit.

I like to think that if I was a character in the book "Secret Garden" 2013 edition, I'd fit right in.

Besides, spring is the season for color!

I'm really looking forward to getting through this week uber fast - I'm headed to King of Prussia at the end of the week with my husband for a soccer tournament  Not quite a vacation, but it's time a way from my usual surroundings... Gotta love a road trip!

She Wore Red

Printed leggings are one of my favorite ways to add dimension to your wardrobe in the winter. Sure, jeans are a staple, but how fun is to wear them constantly? Besides, red velvet leggings look like fun to me!

Outfit Details:

Colorblock Leather Jacket - Rachel Roy / Grey Wool Peplum Sweater - Asos.com / Velvet Floral Print Leggings - Miss Selfridge / Black Leather Ankle Booties - Zara / Madison Leather Lindsey Satchel Coach / Silver Bow Necklace - Gypsy Warrior

I'm still reveling in the shopping I did while in England. I managed to snag these red velvet, floral print leggings from Miss Selfridge. I've been fixated with outfits including these leggings since I can play them up with a peplum sweater, or rock a plain black button front top with them for a more casual look... If you can even call these leggings casual.

This outfit also marks another "happiness investment" I made for my birthday: my second Coach bag, the Madison Leather Lindsey Satchel. 

And to top it off, my life-size bow necklace that looks just like the one Hello Kitty wears. Cat power!
