Neutral Spring into Summer

DSC_0138 DSC_0143 DSC_0156 DSC_0158 I am really relishing the gorgeous backdrop for these outfit photos! We went out just a few days ago on a beautiful, bright morning to take these shots and I LOVE the way they turned out.

The green of the grass, the deep azure of the sky, in contrast to the rich white stand of the aspen. WOW! It’s easy for me to start to view neutrals as only whites, grays, and browns. But green and ochre are great options too! Had to add a little extra with the neon belt, and wish I were carrying around this adorable little cross-body bag to accent this outfit as well.

Also a little His and Hers action on the shoes below. I’m really lucky to have such a talented partner who will get up early in the morning to take photos and do such an AWESOME job. THANK YOU, Honey!

What are some of your favorite neutrals? Any color pop you like to accent with to up the game? The week is winding down, and I certainly hope you have lovely plans for your week end. If you haven’t checked out the Grilled Curry Lime Pork Tenderloin recipe I posted yesterday.

Tomorrow we have a little Science Friday fun with geodes. Thanks for stopping by! Check back by tomorrow to see the glorious delights of geology!

Have a great day!

White Eyelet

DSC_0057 DSC_0059 DSC_0070 DSC_0078 The wind was not cooperating for us when we took these photos. C’est la Vie. While the wind isn’t cooperating, this eyelet is working out well. Summer is almost upon us and that means (for me) white dresses. Or in fashion realms the LWD– little white dress. White and more white, please. I hope your Tuesday gives you a reason to wear white– easy, breezy, summer perfect.

This is just about the easiest summer outfit combination EVER. Striped shirt, cut-off shorts, and Birkenstocks. I always add a red lip cause I just can’t help it! Oversized sunnies and you’re golden. Summer outfit goodness. Day after day, heat wave after heat wave.

We’re not there yet in these parts. Add to that the fact that we live at about 6,000 feet or so, and I always have a jacket on hand to throw over my shoulders in the evening cause it cools off in the mountains. Shhhh, don’t tell those humidified folks in the east! 😉 (We lived in Virginia for five years and still miss our peeps there. HOLA!) But one thing that was really hard for me about the humidity was that it really just let that heat linger.

Regardless of your climate, this outfit is a win. I’d love to hear how you style yours!

Have you? Do you? Do denim on denim? I have had so much fun with this trend this Spring. It’s not new, by any means. Maybe even every era has had its own rendering of this look. Whatever its previous scape and scope I have enjoyed the denim on denim vibe from chambray shirts paired with dark rinsed flares to a triple threat last Saturday that included a perfectly cropped pair of skinny jeans, a drapey dark denim button-up, topped off with a distressed denim jacket. LOVE!

You? Do you do denim? Have you taken the denim on denim trend out for a try? I’d love to hear what you think about these blue machinations! Happy Tuesday!

Classics for Him April 2015

Gentlemen, you are not forgotten! Now as I put this little collage together I realized that truthfully, there are many categories for classic. Dressy, casual, sporty, and travel. Birkenstocks almost look silly over the khaki goodness of that suit jacket. This is a casual classics mix for sure. The list is referenced Left to Right, Top to Bottom, all links below! Have a fantastic Friday!
