Bloggers Who Budget: Blush for Less

I purchased this J.Crew Factory skirt a few months ago & really liked how I styled it for the blog back in February (post here), but then I saw a Kate Spade shop girl wearing a similar pleated skirt with flat motorcycle boots & she just looked so gosh darn COOL that I knew I had to recreate what she had going on! This is my best attempt - while I usually trend more preppy in my style, I like this extra bit of edge added to the sweet pink skirt!

Looking for an extra does of blush in your life (one half of the dynamic duo that Pantone named as the colors of the year), be sure to check out my fellow Bloggers Who Budget to see how they are styling their budget friendly blush pieces this month!

I have a yellow pleated midi skirt that is similar to this skirt, & I have found myself re-creating some of the outfits I originally styled with the yellow skirt including this look & these outfits too! When you find what works… buy it in every color…? That is a saying, right?!

What pieces have you been wearing & re-wearing already this Spring?

The Kendra Scott "Mirror, Mirror" collection just dropped & it is MAJOR! I got a sneak peek of some of the pieces a few days ago, & I am blown away by the amazing new materials & mix of metals. This necklace is one of the standout items, the rose gold chain is nice & chunky, the pyrite pendant is absolutely gorgeous, & the length is on point for layering with sweaters this Fall/Winter. 

I also really appreciate the new finishing touches, like adjustable length bracelets & the addition of pave crystal accents on some of the more traditionally "Kendra Scott" pieces - like these beautiful earrings! 

My absolute personal favorite is anything with the mirror rock crystal stones - in fact, these rock crystal + gunmetal earrings (the first ones in the slideshow below) are currently topping my Christmas list (hint hint hubby!)

Yes, I AM wearing these jeans AGAIN! They really are so good (I got the petite version)! The Ridley fit is proving to be a very flattering cut & the knee rips are just right - not too much! 

Sale Out Warning: This particular style seems to sell out pretty frequently, but have been restocked multiple times since I got mine at the beginning of September.
