OOTD: Melon and Citron

I can find pictures of myself wearing this lace shell almost 3 years ago - I picked it up after seeing it on dozens of bloggers, and it is still one of my favorite pieces.  I was looking in my closet for a sweater to layer over the blouse and pants in this outfit and was frustrated that nothing was just right, until I thought to try the lace top.

 Bingo.

 Love this look, the bright colors and the layered sheer lace scream spring, but the layers and materials made it work for a cold January day.  Surely I'm not the only one counting down until April though, right?






 Pants: Target, $24.99 |  Blouse: Old Navy, $29  |  Lace top: Charlotte Russe, old.  (similar from Forever21, $19.80) |  Shoes: Aldo, (similar from Asos, $52.62)

Linking up with Two Thirty-Five Designs and Long Distance Loving.
Thank you to Hannah K for the pictures!

  12. I had two lace items in my Express cart last night and one of them sold out a minute before I was going to check out. Grrr. But, I got a really nice striped lace shirt... hard to explain but it will work with so many of my other clothes. Love the colors in this outfit! I am just totally digging lace right now! And, colored pants! I got some salmon pants and also light mint ankle pants, too. It won't be Spring for a couple more months but I need to be prepared! :) Your hair always looks great! I need to watch your vblog still.

  14. First of all, you're adorable as always. Second of all, I've never understood OOTD posts. They've never been my thing and always bug me. Not that I don't love me some fashion, because I do. But I've just never been interested. Until today. I looked in the mirror and was all "damn, I look good. This is a GOOD outfit." Suddenly I felt like maybe I should consider doing OOTD pictures. But then I remembered that this happens once in a blue moon.

    That was a really long, drawn out way of telling you that I love your outfit and that I finally understand why people do them.

    Love you and your blog, as always.
