Mod Squad

Mod isn't a style I'm normally drawn to. While I love it on everyone else, and totally love what Twiggy did for the movement, I always felt like I couldn't pull it off. Until I found this dress.

Outfit:

Twiggy Shoulder Peep Dress - c/o Urban 1972.com

Black Tights - Target

Buckle Up Wedges - Mandee

Belt - Forever 21

Military Jacket (seen below) - Guess

Black Onxy Ring and Chain Link Bangles - Forever 21

And being that I'm on this whole try new things kick, I think it's time I get out of my comfort zone and start taking advantage of what else life has to offer. I've just been motivated to do things a little diferently... which includes improving my diet, my job... even moving played a big role in this epiphany.

And of course, branching out in my clothing choices. Why not try a little mod on for size? I'm lovin' the print to the umpteenth degree. Neons meets florals. I'll take it! I'm saying it right now - I think green is gunna be huge this spring. Can't say I own a lot of green... but sticking with my "try new things" theme... I'm liking where this is going.

What trends are you looking forward to this spring?

Secret Garden

My return back into retail bliss really hasn't been that exciting. I ended up only spending $40 on clothes on my trip to the mall last Wednesday... but I did get an iPhone so that's really where my money went. If you want a reality check on your money, dump $250 bucks on a phone and acessories... I think I'm good for the rest of the money spending wise... Unless something else tempts me.

The weather last week in NJ was horrible - dreary and at times, cold. The only salvageable day for outdoor shots was Saturday, so I nagged my husband into helping me with some blog-related stuff in Brookdale Park's Rose Garden. Although the flowers haven't all sprung yet, I felt I blended in well with the flora in this dress I scored from Forever 21. I'm definitely a fan of floral prints... and now that I've recently gotten some feather extensions, I'm loving the whole nature vibe in fashion. I think I loved it a little too much as I pricked my finger trying to smell one of the flowers. I'm sure you can tell what photo I'm referring too by the reaction on my face.
