Create28: Lovely Spring Looks- Carrie's Recap

Can you believe the month of April is coming to a close? Amazing! It has just flown by and so did Create28 Lovely Spring Looks. Yesterday, Whitney did a recap of her top three favorite looks. I'm going to follow suit today and feature mine. My absolute favorite look from Create28 was this easy peasy look. I think coral is fast becoming my new favorite color. This look was the Bright Colors prompt.

My second favorite look is the Leopard Print prompt. One of a girls' BFFs for sure {at least this girl}.

My third favorite look was the Patterned Bottoms prompt. These pants have quickly become a favorite piece in wardrobe. I always feel chic and bold when I wear them.

I hope you have enjoyed Create28 Lovely Spring Looks. As much as I have enjoyed it, I think it was easier for me to put together Create28 Lovely Looks during the month of February. I am so partial to fall and winter pieces that I really needed a push for Spring. Create28 did help me and I hope it helped you. We surely have plenty of Spring left to create some stunning style, friends. Hope your day is especially lovely, friends!

Create28: Lovely Spring Looks- Whitney's Recap

We have come to the end of Create28: Lovely Spring Looks!  I hope that you have had as much fun as I have exploring your closet with our daily prompts!  In my opinion, they really gave me creative direction without being as restrictive as certain capsule wardrobe challenges.  Photographing my outfits every other day has been quite the task, so I'm looking forward to going back to my usual blogging pace.  However, I've loved the prompts so much, I might make up my own from here on out!  Otherwise, I'm going to feel lost when I look into my closet tomorrow!

I've been proud of most of the outfits I've put together this month but here are my top three!  I think what I like the best about these ensembles are their feminine feel and fun prints.

Spring Jacket

Dresses

Leopard Print

What feels really great is that I don't have any outfits to list as my least favorites.  Sure, I have a few that didn't photograph as well as I would have liked, but in general, I like what I wore this month!

In terms of stand-out pieces that I wore a bunch, my denim jacket, mint cardigan and new Converse sneakers got a lot of love!  To me, these are quintessential pieces for transitioning into warmer weather.

What looks did you love the most this month?  Which pieces have you been reaching for over and over?

And finally, merci beaucoup for following along with Carrie and me this month!  I hope you'll keep stopping by!  Stay tuned for Carrie's recap tomorrow!

Create28: Lovely Spring Looks- Favorite New Trend

Is leopard print a girl's best friend? If not the BFF then at least the top 10 or top 5. I'm not sure if any style challenge is complete without a little leopard print. For me, I have leopard print in a variety of categories like shoes, belts, tops and scarves. I love a little subtle or not to subtle pop of leopard print. Since I have a few options, today I'm choosing a leopard print scarf to style. As I put this simple look together, I thought it embodied a casual look that I really love.

I adore a simple grey tee and pair that with white and a chic look easily evolves. Adding the leopard print simply takes it to another level. Simple, casual and chic.

Create28: Lovely Spring Looks- Leopard Print

Wow!  I can't believe we've made it to my last look of Create28: Lovely Spring Looks!  And you know what? I think I saved the best for last!

You know that feeling when you put an outfit on and you just feel good?  You feel like yourself, but like your best self?  That's how I feel about this ensemble. I feel like this outfit really represents me and what I want my personal style to be.  I love the feminine cut of the dress, the whimsical bird print and the fun pattern mixing!

Create28: Style a Skirt Part 2

Skirts! They are just so much fun because typically if you shop well you are able to find a skirt that helps to create multiple looks with what's already in your closet. I think we ladies all need some basic skirts {like a black pencil} and some fun skirts to add a little variety. The little skirt that I'm featuring today is that type of skirt - the fun type.

This is one of those comfy and soft skirts that are perfect in the summertime. I think I can create multiple looks with tees, tanks and cardigans. With the black background, I know I have oodles of options.

By the way, I found this skirt at Old Navy for $10.00. Great price for a piece that will serve me well with my wardrobe. So friends, I would think skirts and how to incorporate them into your wardrobe. A little gem like this is one that cross the seasons. I can't wait to create a look with boots in fall.

As we are coming the close of the Create28 Lovely Spring Looks, we still have give a shout out to leopard print. Whitney is up tomorrow to feature it first.

Create28: Lovely Spring Looks- Style a Skirt

Can you believe that I went years without wearing skirts because I was stumped about what to pair with them?  Reading personal style blogs has really helped me to learn which tops to put with which bottoms, but they have also taught me to be creative and experiment with different pairings.  Now I realize that the options are endless!

Because sometimes you just need to take a mirror selfie.

I chose this skirt for a style challenge that I participated in this fall called the 31 Days, 31 Ways Remix.  Through this challenge, I've already worn this skirt four different ways (seen here and here).  Today I wanted to completely change-up how I styled this skirt to make it more springy.  I went with a monochromatic look featuring a floral blouse (because can you ever have enough floral print this time of year?).

Carrie has already worn several cute skirts during Create28 so I can't wait to see hers tomorrow for Style a Skirt Part 2!

Create28: Lovely Spring Looks- Spring Stripes Part 2

It's been about a year since I started to wear stripes. It's also been about a year since I have wanted a striped dress. My hope was to find a navy/white or black/white straight striped dress. Unfortunately, I passed on a couple and settled with the one I'm featuring today. Lots of reasons I think this dress is a wonderful alternative but I still hope to find one of others as well.

I do really like striped dresses worn as a casual look with sneakers. I thought adding a denim jacket would also enhance the casual feel.

This is one of those dresses that can easily be worn dressed up or down. I so love versatility of looks because I think it extends your clothing and can save money.

Have you thought about a striped dress as an addition to your wardrobe for Spring? If you have added one, have you discovered lots of looks? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Tomorrow Whitney's up and she's styling a skirt. Can't wait to see her look because she's always so darn cute.
