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 lettersâ 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.
Lovely as always! Hope the Jayhawks go far in the tourney! 😀
love your look baby, always

I love this look. I pinned it and I want to recreate with my Gap Olive Green Skinnies. Gorgeous Red Stones, too. So cool about all these fun local blogging events you are attending, too. =)
Enjoy your weekend, Ashley!!
Thats a lovely printed top and the statement necklace works wonderfully with it. Love the shoes! Thanks for your kind and thoughtful visit! Happy Friday!
I hope there is a Wisconsin brunch soon! I would love to meet other bloggers! Great outfit, I think that necklace compliments your top perfectly. And the leopard flats are a perfect touch. Leopard is a neutral anyway! 😉
This outfit is amazing! I’m fawning over your shoes especially x
I LOVE how that red necklace pops against the top! Your makeup here looks flawless! 🙂
