Pink and Green in Anticipation of Spring!

With Valentine's Day over, it's apparent that spring is right around the corner. Although the weather here is going to get a bit chilly and rainy this week and other parts of the country have snow storms in the forecast, I think everyone is thinking about spring! Nothing quite says spring like the color combo of pink and green, which is why I love this preppy pink and green cardigan. I thought these pink and white check pants would be the perfect thing with which to pair the cardigan, and, to top it off, why not add a light pink beret?

 

I actually wore almost this exact same outfit, but with a red and pink heart sweater, a few days before Valentine's Day. If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen my post of the outfit! I also did a reel showing me transitioning from that Valentine's Day look to this look for spring! I'm not sure which look I like more, but that just goes to show how versatile these pink check pants are, because they look so cute with everything!

Pink Plaid

Now that it's December, plaid season is in full swing! I love all types of plaid, but my favorite is probably anything that has pink in it! I love pink plaid because it's festive for the holidays, but it's also bright and colorful! So, when I saw that J. Crew came out with a pink plaid print this year, I naturally had to get both the pants that I'm wearing in today's post and also the button down slim shirt. (I also might have to spring for the matching blazer as well!) I love that these pink plaid pants can be paired with fun shades of pink, like my pink cashmere sweater here, and pastel colors, like my mint crossbody bag!

 

I have not posted that many J. Crew outfits on my blog over the last year or so, because I haven't been that excited about the brand and what they've offered over the last few seasons. However, this month, they have really hit it out of the park with fun, colorful clothing in sumptuous fabrics, such as velvet, sequins and satin. Because of this, I went all out on Black Friday and Cyber Monday and bought quite a few items I love. Thus, you will be seeing many more J. Crew looks in the upcoming weeks! Speaking of old vs. new J. Crew, these pink satin shoes represent J. Crew from a few years ago. I love them so much and I thought they would be the perfect complement to the pink plaid. Plus, they have bows for the holidays, so they are also very festive!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! I have to be honest: I'm a little bit bummed that Valentine's Day falls on a Monday this year, especially because it's the Monday after the Super Bowl. Because of this, my husband and I celebrated a little bit early and had a Valentine's date night out on Saturday rather than on the actual day because of this. I'm a big fan of just staying in and having a casual dinner anyway, so I guess it's really no big deal. Valentine's Day actually isn't my favorite holiday but it's most definitely one of my favorite holidays to dress for! For example, I probably have too many heart sweaters but, this year, I had to add this cute pink and red heart sweater to my collection! While heart sweaters are, obviously, perfect for celebrating Valentine's Day, you can really wear them all winter long, in my opinion!

I decided to wear my new heart sweater with a skirt that I purchased a couple years ago from J. Crew Factory. This was another purchase that I got during the very first month of the pandemic and, therefore, I just sort of forgot about it due to the fact that I couldn't wear it for over a year! Well, it was fun to discover this skirt again in my closet and find a way to style it for Valentine's Day.

 

I think my newest obsession might be berets, so I thought I'd top off the look with a red beret for a little Parisian flair! My husband and I actually went out to a French restaurant this weekend but I didn't actually wear a beret there, which would have been the one time it was really fitting! Unfortunately, it was over 90 degrees here this weekend, which is less than ideal weather for wool berets!
