Balance is Key

{Top: Hollister, Skirt: Thrifted, Jacket: Nordstrom Rack, Oxfords: Nordstrom Rack}

Hi everyone! The first picture is a touch dark because when I took it the clouds were still hovering in the sky, so sorry about that! Today I had a mini-presentation at school, and decided I would dress up a little. I picked a tailored white button down top, and decided to try a little print, so I threw on the tribal pattern inspired skirt. Since, I don't have to the presentation every class period, I kept it casual with some oxfords and a light jean jacket. Have a great weekend! 

P.S. I styled the same oxfords in a different way in one of my previous blog posts if you want to check that out:

The sun is starting to peak out of the sky, but it is not quite warm enough to break out the shorts yet (well at least in Washington).  As a compromise, I paired a bright neon coral bottom with a jean jacket to balance out the temperatures.  The bright jeans scream spring, while the jean jacket keeps it toned down. A jean jacket is great clothing piece to have since it is a classic, and a great layering tool!

Thanks for reading,
