With spring flowers in full bloom, today, I really was set on including a floral pattern as part of my ensemble.  Ideally, I would have liked to have worn a floral printed shoe, specifically, the ones in the collage below.  But, those are still on my wishlist.  So instead, I rummaged through my scarf collection and pulled the piece I am wearing as a head scarf.  I find scarves (whether worn as a head or neck piece or tied around your bag handle) are an affordable and chic way to participate in a trend - in this case "the floral print".

Here is a collage based on my ensemble.  Details can be found here.

Today's weekend ensemble was all about injecting a little African flare into my classic vibrant style. I love this tee (Thanks J Crew for designing it!).  This is because it has a saying in a language I can speak (Swahili), and I grew up in Tanzania for a good portion of my childhood years.  The saying on the tee translates to mean "safe journey" or "great journey" depending on the context.  I love it when I randomly find these kinds of treasures in mainstream stores. :)

Spring Wear: Monochromatic in Purple and Lilac with White Accents

Blazer: Zara - also worn here
Dress: Old Navy (on sale!)
Scarf: Ardene

Bag: Tory Burch
Watch: Michael Kors - similar
Jewellery: Swarovski, Kate Spade, J Crew - similar, Garbo, Carolee
Lips: Revlon (Va Va Violet) and Rimmel (Kate Moss No.2) 



This was my work outfit of yesterday.  This ensemble is such an easy and light outfit to put together for mild weather days, as it really only involves putting on a jersey maxi dress and blazer.  And, this is what I love Old Navy for.  Their jersey maxi dresses are so easy to wear and flattering, I cannot help but want one in every colour!  Very tempting since this weekend they have an "up to 30% off sale" with the code SUMMERSAVE.  Here is to some summer shopping! :)
