What I Wore Wednesday {wiww}

Happy Wednesday! Every week I link up with Lindsey from The Pleated Poppy and other ladies to share outfit inspirations. It's been a great motivator for me to try new things and gain some confidence. 

Mixing patterns explosion happened on this day. Gingham, stripes, and leopard print. Not sure this was my favorite of the week, but sometimes you have to try things to know whether they work for you or not.

This outfit is my favorite this week! I scooped this neutral and neon skirt over the weekend and I love it so! And handy trick: If you want to extend the length of your necklace, use a bracelet as an extender! Sometimes necklaces don't lay in the spot you want and I never thought to use my Christina link bracelet as an extender! Genius!

JCPenney has recently launched Joe Fresh boutique shops within their department stores. I haven't had a chance to check it out in person but I've been browsing the collection online and I've liked what I've seen.

Here are my favorites!

Short Sleeve Silk Shirt ($39)

Slim-Flit Sateen Print Pants ($29) 

Two-Tone Pleated Skirt ($49)

Wow, You think I have a slight obsession with the color blue? It is my favorite color after all. I absolutely love how classic this collection is and the prices are at such an affordable price I could probably buy all these pieces!

Spring and Summer Shoe Essentials

Today's post is about what every girl should own during the spring and summer months.

I am very much a flip flops kind of girl in the summer, but I like to change things up a bit. The shoes you choose to wear can really do just that!

Flats // Converse // Color Block Sandals 

Wedge Sandals // Ankle boots //Pumps

1. Colorful flats: Flats are my favorite go-to shoes. They can make a plain outfit pop! I would own one in every color if I had room in my closet! They are comfortable and stylish. 

2. Casual Sneakers: For the days I know I'll be running errands or chasing around my two girls casual sneakers are the way to go. I recently purchased some slip-on Converses and they are awesome. One- no tying involved, just slip them on and go. Two- they are both functional and fashionable. I also love my TOMS. Either one will work! Keds are making a huge come back too I see. I used to own a pair growing up so every time I see them they remind me of my childhood. 

3. Flat Sandals: Like I mentioned earlier, flats are my favorite go-tos. Gladiator sandals were a big trend last year and I'm seeing the trend go toward metallics and neons. There are so many options out there and it doesn't have to cost very much to build a fun collection! 

4. Wedge Sandals: Wedges are a great choice for adding a bit of height yet are still comfortable. They are perfect for spring and summer dresses and maxi skirts. Adding some height can really dress up an outfit and I always feel more girly. I own a neutral and black pair but I'd also recommend vibrant pair to make your outfit stand out. 

5. Ankle Boots: I love the way ankle boots look with short spring and summer dresses or with a pair of skinny jeans. I think a taupe or brown pair would work best during this season. 

6. Summer Pumps: Every girl should own a fun pair of summer pumps. Perfect for a girl's night out on the town or for a date night. I think they go great with skinny jeans or boyfriend jeans. They also look fabulous with a dress or pencil skirt! 

I hope you have fun shopping for new shoes this spring and summer. I know a new pair of shoes always makes this girl happy!
