Kelly Green + Stripes

Hey y'all!  It's a new week for new beginnings!  I am overly excited to officially welcome the new spring season this coming Friday, March 20, 2015.  After the cold and brutal winter some of us have experienced, I know you guys can relate and share in my excitement.  I was shopping my closet and found this striped sweater I purchased a few weeks ago and thought it would go perfect with these green colored pants.  I purchased these about a month ago and they have been hanging out in my closet begging to be worn.  

I've been thinking that I should scale back on my shopping habit guys!  While I absolutely love fashion and developing my own sense of style, I seriously should have worn these items by now...well at least the striped sweater.  It's 4 days until spring for crying out loud, and sadly I won't get much wear out of this sweater. 

On second thought, with the unpredictable weather patterns we're experiencing in the south, this sweater may just linger around in my closet a bit longer.  It can be transitioned to spring by wearing a cute button down under it.  I could easily peel off layers as the day goes from cool to warm.  Just packed away my winter pea coat last week, so I won't be needing that as we've already tasted hints of this God awful southern humidity...ugh!  I am however, on the hunt for a nice weather-proof, water-proof parka or trench of some sort.

I also decided to dip my pinky toe in with a little print mixing while wearing this outfit.  I am not that great at mixing prints yet so I decided to test the waters with an oversized clutch in my favorite print...LEOPARD...haha!  I think it turned out great.  Not too much, just a subtle hint of print.  What say you?  Did I get it right or nah?

These booties I've worn before in these posts here, here, here and here.  Sooo, I've worn them a lot actually.  But isn't that what we are supposed to do with the items we love?  Actually wear them?  Saving that topic for a future post.

The last two photos I snapped because I wasn't sure if the leopard printed clutch would pair well with this outfit.  I did end up carrying this crossbody just so I could have my hands free on this day.  Less items for me to keep up with while chasing after three little ones.  

Well, I truly hope you guys have an awesome week!  Engage with me.  Drop me a comment, tap the Google+ button, share on your Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter.  I love interacting with you guys.  If you aren't following me on Instagram yet, you should @ms_kishina I'm very active on IG and lots of my outfits are posted there before they make it to the blog.  Until next time.....
