Could it be Spring?

Although the temperature is still low, the days are getting longer and suns shining much more. I think Spring has finally decided to show face here in Michigan! And I couldn't be happier! (At least until Summer comes :)

After a long winter the last thing I want to do is where my winter coat on warmer Spring days. So I like to keep a couple lightweight jackets around specifically for this time of the year. 



This army green band jacket by Xhilaration was purchased at Plato's Closet for $8. This jacket is very versatile and goes well with almost any color. Here it is paired with a chocolate brown racer back tank from Rue 21 which was around $6 with a buy one, get one half off promo.
  
Just like the jacket this scarf is completely versatile too. 

The different hues of brown and black within this leopard print infinity scarf allow it to match just about anything. I typically stick with solid colors though, because wearing other strong patterns compete with the intensity of the scarf. 

These black skinny slacks are from H&M purchased for $12 last Spring. 

I rolled up the cuff of my pants and slipped on these N.Y.L.A. slingback clogs which were purchased at Goodwill for $3.99. The brown accents the undershirt while the gold studs play off the buttons on the jacket. I can't wait to wear these shoes more in the upcoming months!

Summer's Gone... many more to come!

Yesterday was officially the first day of Autumn. Being a summer lover the end of Summer is always tough to grasp. Lately, it's been chilly here in Michigan so I've been wearing pants a lot more than I'd like to. I love finding the good in all things, on a positive note it is football season!! I was able to go to my first Michigan State University football game yesterday, GO GREEN! (Note the rainbow over the scoreboard, right before the rain started.)


I picked up this MSU hoodie earlier in the week at Plato's Closet, where I'm currently working. My excellent customer service earned me 100 points and I was awarded a $25 store gift card. With my employee discount I scored this awesome Spartan gear for only $5.14!
