April Showers...

Top: J.Crew | Trench: Burberry Brit {snatched from sister's closet} | Pants: J.Brand | Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Shoes: Chritian Louboutin | Jewelry: Michael Kors,  J.Crew {here+here} | Sunnies: Tai Pan {loving this similar style} | Lips: In Synch {liner}, Whirl {liner}, Angel {lipstick}
This weekend was a rainy one! I guess they don't say, "April showers bring May flowers" for nothing. Even though the weather was wet and dreary, I incorporated pops of yellow into what would otherwise be a very neutral outfit.
Don't be afraid of bright colors, especially when the weather is cold and grey.  Color is an instant mood booster (in my humble opinion)! I am in love with yellow this year. It makes me happy!!

  37. I love the neutral Louboutins that you pair with many of your outfits...the eye is drawn to what you are wearing and not your feet. Uber chic IMHO.
