Happy first day of spring! May your skies be clear and your temperatures be in the mid-60s (at least).
I’ve been itching to wear this gorgeous red stone statement necklace since I picked it up at a boutique a few weeks back. Paired with a super comfy printed tee, a pair of olive green skinny khakis (bless you Gap for getting the fit right so the pants don’t bag out halfway through the day!), and leopard print pumps, this was a fairly busy-but-kinda-fun work outfit.
The print running through the shirt is a more orange than red, and the stones in the necklace have more pink in ’em than true crimson, but the combo doesn’t offend. The leopard pumps are far enough away from the busy-busy happening up top so as not to look too crazy. Easy print mix: one print on the top, one print via the shoe, and separated by a clean neutral (like these olive green skinnies).
Really excited for the weekend. It’s tournament season, ladies ‘n gents! My Jayhawks drew a #2 seed in the South region (may the basketball gods be with us), so I’ll be spending Friday afternoon and (hopefully) Sunday watching them play.
In between basketball rounds, I’ll be at the Kansas City Blogger Brunch (hosted by some cool cats, including my bud Alissa) on Saturday morning. They said mimosas, donuts, and glitter letters– but in all honestly a little champagne + OJ is all you need to get me to RSVP “yes.” Go Team KC/BB.
KC blogger pals, let me know if you’re going!
Linking up today with Vodka Infused Lemonade, All Things Pretty, Stylin in St. Louis, Glitz and Gold, Perfectly Coutured, VMG206, Midwest Bloggers, and Style Elixir.
Somehow this totally works- leave it to you! 😉

You look gorgeous! Enjoy the spring day! And have a great time at the KC/BB lunch- how fun!
Ooh, I like this black/white/red/olive color scheme and I agree about the leopard pumps being far enough away from the top for it all to work. Great look!

Ashley, I love how you take fairly casual pieces (like these Gap pants) and really add some cool features to jazz them up! It’s really inspired me to spice up my work outfits! Well done!
That’s a cool outfit! It’s fun taking your photos in the closet too! I really like your blog though! I’m glad that I found it! It would be nice if you could stop by both of my blogs sometime too (I’m from England) and I post my outfits and personal style on Raindrops of Sapphire and general fashion from celebs and brands on The Fashion Supernova! I hope you have a lovely day and I’m looking forward to your next post 🙂 🙂
