Well if you can't experience Spring, then you can WEAR it! On Ingunn's recent thread about what our challenge or inspiration was this week, I commented that I wanted to challenge myself to wear more color and to wear items that are more traditionally figure flattering (as opposed to more slouchy and voluminous which I have been enjoying lately). Today's outfit I think (hope!) covers both.

I started out with my yellow Academy tipped Gap blazer - my goodness, I love this cheery colour! I popped it over a black with white and grey polka dot draped front tank and then added my cobalt blue jeans. These are not actually the cobalt jeans I recently showed you as a spring purchase. The ones I originally purchased were Ralph Lauren but when I wore them out on the weekend for some errands, I was mortified at how much they bagged out from the knees right up to the waist - they turned into a saggy, sloppy mess. Hated them. Plus, to be honest, I think I purchased them one size too large. I really need to get my head around my changing body shape. Thank goodness they were on discount. I popped into The Bay on Monday and found these lovely Jeanne Bekker jeans. I had her white jeans last year and loved them both for comfort and for the non-bag factor. These are a a cross between a skinny and a straight leg and are petite so didn't need shortening. They are extremely comfortable and have a small percentage of polyester in them which is what I think helps them keep their shape.

For footwear I've added my python booties and then my white handbag and white watch for accessories.

So what do you think? Does it all work together? Proportions and fit of everything ok? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.
