Office Meeting to Cocktails by confectionarystyle featuring aldo handbags

Hey everyone, sorry for the long absence. One word for you, thank God its Spring. One of my faveortie trends this season, has been patterned pants. I am loving the pants on this outfit, they are bright and unique, but still wearable. This is the perfect outfit for a day at the office or at an internship, heck even coffee or brunch with friends. I truly love this. Its so put together for the day time, but with a little bit of sass---with the printed pants and lips print blouse. I love the heels total bad ass. Red lips and shoes always make a girl feel confident.

Then for cocktails with co-workers or a night with the girls; all you have to do is switch from the prim and proper jacket to a nice motorcycle faux leather vest, let your hair down and you are ready to paint the town red in style. The accessories from the day time still are appropriate and statement worthy for the night.

Here are the key pieces to the outfit:

Spring 2013 Trends: April Pastels

April Pastels by confectionarystyle featuring anchor jewelry

Isn't everyone happy, that Spring has finally sprung. Although, I have noticed that some places have a lot of rain or still some snow showers. I feel you my peeps. Is it okay to call you all peeps? Me thinks so.

Any-whosies, I am head over heels in love with pastels, there is just something so beautiful about them, the sense of feeling light and airy, or even like a little girl, baby pink anyone? (I am raising my hand btw, even though you cant see it).

In this look, I went for incorporating the seasons most amazing colors: Pastels. This a great way to look beautiful with out looking like and Easter egg.

I love how the skirt has two trends going on, the high-low (mullet trend- business in the front party in the back). And also the rainbow of the pastel spectrum; my two faves violet and mint.

I love the shirt because it has all the colors in the skirt in a very beautiful print, not to mention that there are birds on it. OMG.

I went for simple accessories; with colors found in the overall outfit, and for those chilly nights, add a jean jacket that looks like a leather moto jacket. Cross-body bags in the color of the season CORAL are so hot right now and easy to maneuver/move around in. And flats keep your feet from screaming in pain.
