How to Wear Patterned Tights

Unlike last week, I’m pleased that today is actually Thursday and not Friday. I need all the extra time I can get to prepare for this weekend. On Saturday, I’m going to be speaking and holding a workshop at an all-day conference for 175+ high school students interested in pursuing fashion as a career. Woohoo… yeah, I’m not nervous at all.

Breaking up for Earth Day

Did you know Earth Day is this week? I honestly didn’t even realize until I started seeing all the recycle campaigns around town (that honestly, aren’t really that unusual in Seattle anyways.) One particularly fun campaign is Seattle Goodwill Earth Day Breakup4Good, asking local musicians, CEOs, athletes, and other known Seattleites to break up with their outfits for a good cause. They’ve put these outfits on display at Goodwill stores around town.

Of course I had to get in on the action too. I even conned Dave into breaking up with an outfit. I mean, we’re promoting recycling so why not right? Donating to Goodwill means that 9,200 people were provided with free job training and education last year and keep over 40 million pounds out of landfills.

All day yesterday it felt like Friday, so when I came to the realization last night that no, my week was not over, it was quite a disappointment. I guess you could say it’s been one of those kinds of weeks.

On a more fun note though, spring is definitely here in the Pacific Northwest, and though it’s still a bit cold for my taste, it’s been fun wearing fewer layers, fun colors, and light jackets again. I’m especially stoked on these Jessica Simpson Jonii pumps that my friends from Rack Room Shoes sent to me to style. You may remember a couple of other outfits I’ve styled with their shoes, most recently this athletic shoe outfit. One of Rack Room Shoes’ suggestions for getting spring ready is by updating your shoes – bright colors, floral patterns, and casual comfort shoes for the whole family.

To really make these pumps stand out, I chose a muted palette for the rest of the outfit. Gray, black, and medium denim jeans kept the attention on the pumps. I also am in search of the perfect pair of white boyfriend or straight leg jeans to really make these stand out this summer. Something about the color white makes the perfect pair really hard to find for me – any suggestions?

Golden Tote March 2015

Affiliate Links: If you click a link below, I may receive a credit if you sign up. I pay for this subscription.

After last month’s disappointing tote… well, I decided to try it again. This month Golden Tote offered free shipping on all tote purchases, and since then have changed their shipping policy to be free on all orders of $149 or more (so basically on the purchase of a large tote.) If you’re not familiar with Golden Tote, you pick 2 items in a $149 tote and are surprised with 4-5 other items. Alternatively, you can choose one item in a small tote for $49 and be surprised with 1 or 2 other items. I prefer the value in the $149 tote, and even if you don’t love everything, you are free to trade and sell on their 3,000+ member private Facebook Group. If you hate it all, you can ship it back (at your own expense) and receive a refund, which is what I did last month.

The reason I tried again? A certain pair of pants, as seen below. I was obsessed (and I still am.) Golden Tote has also been at work revamping their website and style profile to better match you with surprise items you’ll like. What can I say, curiosity killed the cat. Or at least made me spend my money. ;) So what else did I get this month?

DailyLook Elite Box April 2015

Remember last month’s DailyLook? It was my first look at a fairly new styling service, similar to Stitch Fix. Both services assign you a stylist who then handpicks 5+ items and ships them off to you to try on, keep what you like, and return what you don’t. There is a $20 styling fee, but my first three months were waived for signing up during their trial period. They’ve reduced their free trial to 2 months, so if you haven’t tried it yet and are interested, you should sign up now! Here’s my referral link if you’re interested, I always appreciate it. :)

Anyways! I had a new stylist this month. She mentioned visiting my blog and social media sites, and keeping my feedback from last month in mind. She also had mentioned a shortage of spring/summer pieces, so I was super curious as to what was inside!
