Spring Brights!!

I have to say this much, I've got some fashionable friends. They are always inspiring me. I'm telling you, our little "Mariachi Family," is one happy place to be!! You've got Jelly, who LOVES color. All kinds of color!! Jose and Jelly's home, is so fun. And for months and months, I've been drooling all over her colored denim. Between, I want some colored denim. All because of this fabulous lady!!

Then there's Chiquitita. She's always fashionable!! Always!! She works in a local hospital, and always dresses up for work. There are only about 2 times, that I can remember, when she didn't wear high heels. And fun ones. Colorful. These ladies, truly inspire me, to put a little color in my closet. :)

It doesn't hurt, that I spend a few hours a week, drooling all over Pinterest. Really, ladies how are you so fabulous? Where do you learn to be so stylish? For example, look at this picture!!

What a simple outfit. Really, it is. Just look at this casual look. A white t-shirt, some awesome colored denim, bright shoes, a fun purse, and silly glasses. I mean really. I'm in love!! You could do this with other colors as well. But I'm really loving these bright colors. Perfect for spring and summer!!

I'm just waiting for Old Navy to put their colored denim on sale again. I want a fun, and bright color. And shoes. Well, I took a little stroll downtown. Last week. Found some incredible bright heels. The pieces are coming together. It just has a big smile, plastered to my face.

What are some of your fashion inspirations? Favorite fashion trends? Beyond bright colors, and colored denim.....I'm also a fan of the maxi dress. And espadrille sandals. These fun pieces, are about the only reasons, that I really like summer. Because around here, the minute you walk outside, you are melting!!

Looking for Something to Wear

I should start off with, I'm not a "fashionista." I don't buy expensive clothes. But I do love clothes!! Since I was 15, I've worked at a few clothing stores. All of which, where at the mall. Except my last job. Which was at a "fancy smancy boutique."

But I will say this, I spend tons of time, searching online. For fashion blogs, on Polyvore, and on Pinterest. I just like to see what people are wearing. How they pair clothes. Pretty much, I just like looking at clothes. :)

Right now, it's a little weird here in the SW. Weather wise. It's cold, but not freezing cold. Don't get me wrong, you need a jacket. But we're not like most people, during the winter months.

But for a city that gets well over 300 days of sunshine a year, it's been a little gloomy. I know. It's winter. But I'm not really a fan of all this gloom. And I wanted a little fashion inspiration. Something to brighten up my day. That's when I found this picture on Pinterest.

Hello!! Reminds me of this time of year. When temps are changing. But it's not really Spring yet. Yet the warmer temps, are flirting with us. :) If you're from the SW, you know what I mean. The weather is warmer, but not warm. It's not really winter. It's just between seasons.

Actually, if you ask me, this outfit would be nice for a casual Valentine's day. Maybe it's just the colors, that I'm really loving at the moment. Something fresh. A little crisp. But still cozy.

OK, I want to recreate this. But I need a few pieces. :) Maybe I should call up my sister, and head to the mall. ;) I've got the jeans, a similar sweater, and similar shoes. I really just need a shirt, in this pretty pink. And maybe a few accessories.

With all that said, are you "into" fashion? Is there a specific place you go for inspiration? Or a place that you shop at. Or long to shop at. I'd really like to hear all about it!!
