Both me and Cheeks had busy Saturdays. Cheeks’ was busy throwing a baby shower for her niece. (I really should have taken pics of the decorations and food; baby animal print theme, green and brown chiffon and candies; cute and sophisticated rolled into one. Cheeks is the ultimate event planner). I had to attend a six-hour Scrabble tournament with my students that began at 9:00 am. So for both of us, comfort was priority.
Cheeks keeps it colorful by channeling Rainbow Brite once again! This time, she chooses to saturate her world with turquoise. In a sea of subdued colors, she really did shine. Monochromatically, she chose to pair a sweater and jeggings in the same hue of blue, but she broke up the saturation of color with white and metallic accents. She doesn’t need Spring to come officially, she wears what she pleases.

This dress came from Old Navy during their After-Holiday clearance. It was 6.99! I loved the olive green color, the adjustable drawstring waist that allows for a more fitted waist while preserving the flow of the skirt, and the asymmetrical hemline. The ruching in the shoulders was a plus and the short sleeves make this dress seasonless.

| I found this “Leopard Scarf” at Forever 21 for pennies. I remember someone giving me fashion advice that advised, “Only wear animal print patterns that can actually be found in nature”. To that I reply, “There are blue-spotted leopards somewhere.” |
