spring awakening

Well ladies and gentlemen, it's March. Where is the year going?  I can't explain the fast pace at which 2014 seems to be moving, but I can explain my favorite looks for this spring season-

1. monochromatic color schemes 

Valentine's Day was the catalyst for this new obsession of mine.  I paired a blush crop top with berry colored harem pants and my bright red "lips" handbag.  All of the colors were very close on the family tree - first or second cousins, I would guess.  I can't wait to explore this idea with shades of lavender, violet, and plum.  

 

2.  hair accessories

Personally, I don't believe I will ever rock a flower crown, but I do plan on being experimental with adorning my head this spring.  I want to play with scarves around my head and worked into a braid.  I'm a recovering hair-cutter-offer, so until my hair grows back to its normal, extra long length, I plan on making the uppermost portion of my body a visual interest.  

not exactly what I had in mind...

3. funny sunnies

2014 has been a very fun year so far and I'm going to let that translate into my eyewear.   I've been an aviator girl for most of my life, but this time around I'm going to be a little more risky with my UV protection.  My most recent sunglass purchase was a pair of navy tinted, heart shaped rims.  I adored them the instant I saw them, and what made them even more appealing was that Behati Prinsloo has a pair just like them.  Although, I doubt she and I paid the same price...
