March Maddness

Typically during the month of March, I pull back on my shopping and use the 31 days as an opportunity to investigate what's out there and plan my Spring wish list accordingly.

Hatton Garden Beaded Necklace $28

Turquoise and green is one of my favorite color combos and think they look amazing together in this necklace.  Not only does this necklace resemble a $150 J.Crew necklace, it's incredibly versatile.  This statement necklace will dress-up my basics including white tees and black knit dresses.

Mossimo High Low Sleevless Black Print Blouse $25

For various reasons I have yet to wear my faux leather leggings.  I think I have worked myself up regarding the overheating issue.  The other reason is I am looking for an edgier, longer top to pair them with.  Scarf print items continue to be a strong fashion trend and I love the neutral colors of this top.  The price tag is awesome and this is definitely a top that would get lots of mileage in my Spring wardrobe.

ALDO Darelbeida $100

I must confess I have yet to see these shoes in-person and I definitely recognize the opportunity for them to be a miss, but I am dying over white pointed-toe pumps for Spring. Break out the self-tanner because these pumps will match my skin perfectly right now!  White pumps are the #1 seed on my current shoe wish list.  I particularly like this pair because of the lucite heel.  Lucite has sort of been hanging in the fringe waiting for its moment...well it's here.

Forever21 Floral Print Blazer $29.80

I have been on the hunt for a floral blazer for at least six months now.  (My life has serious meaning.)  I don't want to spend a fortune on this trend because it may be out the door.  That being said, this blazer has caught my eye and the price tag is decent.  Of course, I did not follow my own Forever21 rule and didn't try it on when I saw it and now I cannot find it in-store anymore.  The decision I am trying to make at this point is whether I order this blazer online and if so, do I order two sizes and return the one that doesn't fit?  The madness!

I sort of like taking this time in March because it allows me to determine two things: do I really like it and does it fill a hole in my wardrobe?  The third thing I consider is will I wear it now?  If the answer is yes and the price is good, then those are the items at the top of my list come April.
