Fashion Aspirations

Today it was in the upper 40's...spring is just around the corner and I'm so excited!  My wardrobe is not quite ready yet, though.  There are a few key pieces I want to acquire that can be remixed a millions different ways this season and beyond.

A Blue Pant Suit

I have a grey pant suit and a black suit with both pants and a skirt, but I'd really like to shake things up with a bright blue pant suit that I can wear with a plain white blouse or other bright colors.  The Prada bag included in this board is never gonna happen, but hey, a girl can dream, right?  I would like to pick up a nice square handbag, though.

A Grey Pencil Skirt

 I can't believe I've made it this far in life without a pencil skirt.  I need to correct that.  We'll start with a dark neutral (preferably a grey, not a black) and then maybe branch out to bright colors.  I love the rosy pink-and-red theme of this board, especially that lovely cardigan- I'm a sucker for sweaters in every color of the rainbow.

Navy Blazer

earrings: ModCloth / shirt: Brooks Brothers via Rue La La / blazer: Forever 21 / khakis: J Crew / shoes: Stella McCartney via ideeli / bag: Forever 21

 I really think the whole khaki-pants-and-navy-blazer look isn't something reserved for boys only- so I want to try it, too.  I realize I just mentioned finding myself a blue pant suit, but for that I'm thinking more of a cobalt blue- this blazer is more of a sport-coat-navy-blue.  And I think it's time to get a new everyday bag- this time I think I'll go for a tan instead of a black.

What basic pieces are you looking for this spring?

Much love,
