Fresh Re-Mix

It’s amazing how sometimes a new accessory or two can breathe new life into your wardrobe. Accessories can freshen up old favorite pieces for a new season, or even be a bridge that makes new combinations work.

Casual Look With Gold Espadrilles

I put this outfit together on the fly last weekend for a casual dinner out with le Monsieur, and was very happy with it. The sweater jacket and floral top are from last year, and I think the jeans are almost two years old. They’re still favorites. The woven bamboo bag and metallic espadrilles lighten the look and make it feel more Spring-y.

Florals are really tricky for me. I tend to like them more in concept or on other people, but this Joie silk top has turned out to be a wonderful throw-on-and-go piece. Previously worn HERE and HERE.

The pale yellow stones in the French Kande “Daffodil Mix” necklace really pop against a dark background. This necklace has an option to customize with a different medallion, which I did.

These comfortable espadrilles are getting a LOT of wear now that the weather’s warming up. They go with everything and really add “oomph” to a look. And I can’t complain about a little extra height! 😉 (Nail polish is OPI “Big Apple Red.”)

  1. Such a nice spring look! I am not a huge fan of florals, but I do like this one and Joie is such a great brand.

  2. That whole look looks great, Sue. Love those gold sandals with the camel sweater. I see you’re not only moving to a bold lip (which looks lovely, by the way), but also to bold toes. Ha. That’s the only place I can get away with red colour… on my toes. Happy spring!

  3. I’m with you on florals. I like them on other people but rarely find one that I’m comfortable in or think I would like beyond the dressing room. When I do find one it tends to be a favorite for a long time. Yours is beautiful and I can see why you like it!

  6. The L’amour des Pieds Winona in Silver has been my Spring accessory. Great with jeans and a crisp white shirt. My co-workers say they are “distracted by shiny objects”. Also, really comfortable

  7. Those Espadrilles look so awesome. I seem to be unable to verify whether they ship these to Finland or not. Do you have any idea about that and shipping costs?
