Stripes and a Florence Adams Giveaway!

April 9, 2013

::Blouse c/o Florence Adams, Shoes ALDO (here), Skirt Piperlime (similar here and here), Bracelets c/o Bip and Bop (here) David Yurman, necklaces Kate Spade Mrs (here), Personalized necklaces c/o (here), Sunnies Betsy Johnson, Lips MAC Ruby Woo::

It’s finally starting to warm up in good ole’ Ohio- can I get some applause?!?! …. <crickets> I may finally be able to break out some skirts and short sleeve tops, but knowing this state, Ill probably need my winter parka by the end of the week…

Any who… for the last couple of months I’ve been debating on purchasing a “tie front” shirt. I’ve tried a few on and for some reason, I just wasn’t feeling them. Something about the ones I put on screamed 90’s to me, but when Florence Adams sent this stripped one over, I was instantly in love. It fits great, is a nice silky material and it doesn’t make me look like Kelly Kapowski. Plus, the colors and stripes are the perfect combination. I actually paired with a similar striped skirt to create a dress effect, but this shirt looks great with regular blue jeans as well (I know because when I got home from work, I changed out the bottoms).

Something else I love from the shop- their pleated skirts (here)- I’ll take one of each please! And maybe you can get one too because today Florence Adams is offering one reader a $40.00 gift card! Wa-who! just enter below with the RaffleCopter!

What would you buy from the site if you won?
Anyone else FINALLY getting some spring weather?
Don’t forget to enter some other awesome giveaways HERE and HERE!
Also a big shout out to our good friends (S&M) who got engaged this past weekend! We love ya fools!
