Back to Reality with Emerald Accessories

After a much needed vacation to Deer Valley, Utah, it's back from my blogging hiatus and into reality! We had a great time skiing in perfect weather with wonderful friends, but I am excited to get back into the swing of things.

While Wednesday would normally be "Working Girl" focused, since we left off there last week I'm going to change it up a bit. In the spirit of Saint Patrick's Day at the beginning of the week, I'm sharing my favorite emerald green accessories that you can use to add the perfect pop of color to your spring wardrobe!

I love emerald because it is a bright tone that is still classic and elegant. It looks great with virtually any color, especially navy, white and corals/fuchsias. It is the perfect addition to your spring outfits, from work to play, day to night.

Who doesn't love a fabulous statement necklace? Statement necklaces can really take your outfit from "drab" to "fab" {pardon the cheesy cliche}. These are no exception to that rule ::

I'm loving the peacock tones in this necklace... Emerald and cobalt are the perfect color combination ::

This cuff is perfect for layering with other bangles, bracelets and watches ::

Love a good statement earring? These picks won't leave your ears {or your style} lacking! ::

I am loving these fun studs incorporating a little more of a minty green. ::

Last but not least, you can never go wrong with a chandelier earring. These are a bit more muted shade of green, for those of you who prefer pastels & paler colors ::

What are your favorite emerald accessories this season? We'd love to see how you style them & hear your feedback!

Until tomorrow, stay stylish!

Working Girl Wednesday :: Flirty Florals

It's Working Girl Wednesday! Today we're talking about how to incorporate fun, flirty florals into your workwear. Workwear doesn't have to be stuffy. You can still maintain professionalism while incorporating patterns and colors into your workwear wardrobe. Here is some outfit inspiration for your spring working girl wardrobe ::

I love this ASOS floral top, and I happen to own it. It is now on super sale for $18.82! The ruffled collar is fun and work-appropriate at the same time. Paired with these eyelet pants from LOFT and a tan tote, it's an effortless look that will leave you looking stylish and put-together.

LOFT Cotton Eyelet Ankle Pants, $79.50

Sole Society Laurie Peeptoe Wedge, $49.95

OR

Sole Society Bettie Heel, $79.95

Dorothy Perkins Tan Tote, $95

This workwear look incorporates a drapey chambray pant, which is ultra-flattering on virtually every body type. Paired with a light, airy navy & white floral top from Modcloth and a coral wedge. Throw a white blazer over for your chilly office and you'll be set for a springy workwear look!

Modcloth By the Garden Pond Top, $34.99

LOFT Drapey Chambray Trousers, $69.50

Sole Society Piper Wedge, $41.97

Add some flirty florals to your workwear this spring and maintain a level of professionalism while still looking stylish and current. From understated light prints, to bold and bright, you can do it all. Just remember :: when wearing a bold print up top, stick to a neutral or darker colored bottom. When you are wearing an understated, less colorful top, you can add a pop of color in your pants or shoes. It's all about balance!

And that's your Working Girl Wednesday. Tune in next week when we discuss how to accessorize your workwear appropriately!

Stylishly Yours,

Courtney

Thursday's Tip :: Tone on Tone

Try mixing it up in your wardrobe without having to shop :: The tone-on-tone look. Pair some of your similarly-toned pieces together. Tone on tone can be done with a shirt and a necklace, cardigan & shirt, etc. Simply choose a piece in your closet that you like the color of, and then choose an accessory that has the same tone, yet not in the exact same shade. {i.e., a turquoise sweater with a pale turquoise/mint necklace, or a pale purple blouse with a plum blazer}

Courtney did this with the Pantone Color of 2014, Radiant Orchid. Styling an orchid dress with a darker-toned cardigan is one way of rocking the tone on tone look ::

Here are some other tone-on-tone looks to inspire you ::
