Kansas City is finally thawing out after a long winter (no jinx, knock on wood). We’re in the 70’s this week with zero snow in the forecast for the next 10 days. We usually get at least another round of winter weather in March, but I’ve got my fingers crossed we’re over the spring threshold. What a better way to celebrate a warmer season than to break out lighter + whiter pieces and mix them with spring prints.
A white blouse + killer floral and striped laser skirt from JOA (under 100 bones, c’mon!) set the base, and I looped on a soft scarf from Pashmina Perfection to work a little print mix action. A short color block trench and nude pumps finished the look– if this doesn’t say spring, I’m not sure what does.
Speaking of mixing prints, I talked about just that on the Better KC morning program last week. Matching colors and not prints when mixing, thinking about graphic vs. organic prints, and striking a balance with your print-mixed outfit– you know, the basics.
Your skirt and jacket are stunning, Ashley. I also love that fun top with the back detail and your paisley scarf. Love the neutrals for early Spring. Perfect outfit to transition into. =)
That skirt is gorgeous and I love how you styled it! I really hope the warmer temps are here to stay because I can’t wait to start incorporating lighter pieces into my wardrobe again! xoxo
That skirt is gorgeous! I love the cutouts, especially how from a distance it is not as noticable, but then when you get closer you completely see all the details! Love it!
Found your blog through Stylin In St Louis. The cutout detail in your skirt is amazing! I’m hosting a link up this week, stop by if you have a chance 🙂
I love that skirt!! It’s absolutely gorgeous and I remember seeing it online and thinking it had such beautiful detailing. Yay for warmer weather – it’s much warmer here as well and I am loving it! FashionEdible
Love this look! That skirt is too cute and I love it with the classic trench – aaand I’m super jealous it’s in the 70s there! We’re still in the 50s, ugh!
Super loving that skirt, and the back of your top is amazing! Jealous of your 70 degrees, I know we’ll get there but it’s sounding so much better than 40 right now!
That skirt is killer! I love the detail! I’ve been seriously loving this weather we’re having. It feels so good to leave work and walk out into sunshine rather than an icy blast of air. This better continue:) Hope you’re having a great day, pretty lady!
I’m LOVING that skirt. It’s so pretty. The color contrasting, the cut, the detailing…. so good. I appreciate the close-up. It always your followers to really see the detailing. So many bloggers take shots at a distance and you can’t see anything. You look great!
This is such a fabulous look, Ashley! I am totally obsessed with that skirt!! The scarf and nude pumps are the perfect accessories too! Happy Thursday!
This outfit is perfection and I am dying over your skirt! Seriously, it is my favorite look of yours!!! Amazing! Hoping it stays warm.

Hi lady,
