Easing Into Spring
Texas weather is always a surprise and this year has been no exception. After a seasonably warm winter, spring seems to be arriving quickly and the temperatures are easing up to near 80 each day. This look was easy to pull together showing some touches of spring color with light outer layers.
Nothing like falling in love with a color to follow along with a baseball team! I have never been super crazy about orange but ever since Riley joined the Astros organization I have found myself grabbing for this color.
Loft and J. Crew Factory are typically my go to stores for cardigans but Target always seems to have a great selection of colors too. The Pleione tops come in great patterns and are perfect for layering.

I picked up this fun necklace at a local boutique last summer but this leopard cuff has also become a daily staple and it can be found here. My friend Holly is always finding cute little trinkets such as this little stretchy bracelet which comes from 31Bits which has a great mission helping Ugandan women.
I’m still not ready to give up my boots 100% and these Steve Madden OTK boots were definitely one of my favorite purchases this winter and they are still on markdown here. I think I am sufficiently stocked up on every boot and bootie I need for the next several years!
I ordered a 2nd pair of these black pants from Ann Taylor and was super excited to catch them marked down to $29.50. They are labeled as leggings but are thick like a pant and I have definitely been wearing regular…like maybe 4 out of 5 days a week…to work.
I love how this outfit came together and looks so effortless. It was comfortable and I felt great wearing it.

I love the orange cardi with the necklace! it looks great against the black! Have a great week!
LOVE this color combo on you!!
This looks fantastic on you! Those boots, swooon! I wish I could wear them, but my short legs and big calves prevent that from happening. And I'm fairly certain you can never have enough boots!
what a GREAT transitional outfit!!! It's literally perfect!! The orange is the best "break out of winter" color!!

Orange is a GREAT color on you! I'm in WI and our weather has been CRAZY–one week it was literally single digit temperatures, the next week it was a springlike 60 and the week after that we received several inches of snow! Liz familyoffoley.wordpress.com
Love that orange. I always think of fall when I see orange, but this looks SO SPRINGY. That necklace just clinches the whole look. You've inspired me to get some orange in my life!
You really tied the whole outfit together well! One classy lady!

I love this look–the pops of orange are perfect, and I love the subtle print of your top. I just clicked over and read about your son–how awesome that he signed with the Astros. That is really too cool! I'd be wearing lots of orange if I were you too 🙂
This is one of my fav looks on you! On point, Lady!
Thanks so much for coming to the Fun Fashion Friday party & hope your weekend is wonderful!

Thank you Abby! This top has so been one of my favorite purchases.
Thanks so much Deena. It always feels so great to wear something you feel yourself in. Have a super week!
I feel the same Abbie about orange but last year this brighter orange came home with me and I wore it a ton with navy over the summer. Have a great week!
Thanks Liz! Our weather hasn't been quite that crazy but I do feel like I'm on a bit of a roller coaster. After a warm saturday I threw on shorts Sunday for baseball and then froze!
Thank you Jill! Thanks as always for hosting a fun linkup.
Looking forward to joining you ladies each week! Love a little style prompting.
I really do love a great pop of color a cardigan can add.
Thanks Shauna! Have a super week!
Me too Tif…..this top is easy to pair with tons of different colors. Hope you have a super week.
Thanks Beth! Isn't it always so crazy how you have to find just the right shade of a color? THis is the right orange for me. Hope you have a super week!
We are definitely breaking out of the winter colors quickly down here in Texas! It was shorts weather this past weekend. Goodness…my legs are not ready.
I tried and tried so many pair Sarah and was so excited when I finally found these. Now I'm thinking you are right and I need to add a black OTK pair. 🙂
Thanks so much Jessi….hope you have a super week!
This necklace has definitely been a fun addition. Have a great week Mary!
Ready or not spring has basically arrived here in Texas! Oh my goodness…my toes and my legs are not ready yet!!
Only way to make a transition here in Texas! Have a great week B!
Thanks so much Kimm…thank goodness right? Have a super week!
Thank you Stacey! Hope you have a super week!
I totally agree….a pop of color from a cardigan can really change the look of an outfit.
Thanks sweet friend. Excited about the style prompts each week.
That cardigan adds such a nice color pop to the outfit. So polished and effortless.
