2014 Budget - March Recap

It's a little late this month, but I have good news... I didn't blow my budget for March! The main reason? I spent half of the month traveling for work. The only item I bought was actually purchased during my business trip to Singapore. I could have really spent a lot of money in Singapore, but I managed to behave myself and come home with just this skirt...

It's a bit of a fun purchase, not quite sure how to style it for work yet, but I love it. The color is reminiscent of a mermaids tail. While I bought it in Singapore, you can pick it up at Nordstrom! They also have it available in hunter green, if you don't want to feel like a mermaid.

Not sure what you buy yourself for a souvenir on your next vacation? I always suggest two things - 1. A local cookbook & 2. A fun or classic piece of clothing. You'll be able to cook your favorite dishes and every time you wear your new piece, vacation memories will come flooding back.

Floral fun for Spring!

With another snow storm on tap for this weekend, I'm left dreaming of tulips, sunny evenings and outfits without twelve layers. I'm really looking forward to my business trip in two weeks, because I'm heading to Singapore and Singapore is on the equator.  Bring on the heat!

Once spring does arrive, I'm planning on looking like the season itself. Floral everything. I even have my eyes on these Ted Baker rain boots. Maybe we need to start wearing floral and then spring will follow? Do we need to tempt the season out of hiding? Let's all pretend we're tulips and show our springtime colors!

Wilde Spring 2014 Colors

Personally, I don't care for the Pantone color for Spring 2014, Radiant Orchid.  What am I planning on wearing this spring?  Lots of vibrant and rich colors!
