Why it Works: Spring Flirt

I wonder if all of you are having quite as wonderful a morning as I am. I don't know why it's such a good day (except that it is) and we finally have spring-like temperatures and sunshine and I feel quite alive and spunky today. Picmonkey was being a ding-bat so I wasn't able to make up an actual collage. I just cropped down the photos I had (yay selfies already) Also, Sarah's minion poster is photo-bombing. I give you:

Spring Flirt

Pardon the glazed stare. I was concentrating.

Silly shot.

Don't you love how the darned camera focused on itself? So narcissistic.

Components:

Pale pink floral blouse

Medium wash jeans

Butterfly earrings

Pink/orange eye-do

Revlon matte lipstick in "Stormy Pink"

Bare feet with toenails painted Areo's "Tis the Season" (purplish pink)

Why it Works:

This was an outfit I threw together for going to my grandparents' for dinner last night and I liked it enough then that I wore it again today to show you. The floofiness of the blouse is playful, chic, and springy without being childish. I think the black floral pattern and the band around the bottom retrieves it from that fate. (Unlike those tulle skirts everyone is wearing) The pink makeup brings out the pale pink in the blouse and the jewelry (which is silver) sets off the coolness of the shade of lipstick. These sleeves are fabulous because they obscure the pudgiest parts of my arm while managing to look sweet and romantic. The jeans aren't anything spectacular except to say that I now fit in them (and will soon fit out of them) because of having been getting up each morning to exercise since the second week of January. Yay for shrinkage! The jeans also serve the purpose of adding a little structure to the outfit because if I went with (say) a skirt, this would soon look a little too fluffy for my figure's good. 

In Conclusion:

A comfortable, casual outfit with a touch of feminine charm that leaves on-lookers knowing they've just seen a person proud to be a woman and loving the spring weather. It's confident, sassy, and sweet all rolled into one. I rather love it, actually.
