Outfits Not Just Clothes

 Wore this outfit for Easter Sunday and I'm not bragging when I say that I flipping nailed it! We've got color, we've got functionality, we're on theme, we stand out and this is most definitely an outfit, not just clothes!  coat- Target , thrifted from Thriftique  (similar here , here , and here from Poshmark ) shirt-- Ashir Aley via Amazon (available on Ebay ), pants--Boden(similar here ), earrings- Amazon , mask- Maskc , rings- Mejuri , bag-Coach(similar retail here , similar via Poshmark here and here ) loafers- G.H.Bass , lipstick-- M.A.C . I'm loving the pink in this look. Plus the lime green liner of the coat that picks up on the kerchiefs on the jackalopes in the print.

Look closely at the detail shot off the ring and bracelet and you'll see this blouse features buzzy bees in the print. I picked up this button-up a year ago right before we went on lock-down, and blogged it in a working-from-home post here .  I'm also keeping the sweater-vest vibe going from this post .  I think we can all agree that this spring is such a relief and that with more and more folks getting vaccinated th...
