One color combo that’s so cute together but that I rarely wear is turquoise and cobalt. The colors really play well together. They especially look cute when paired with hot pink!
Top: J. Crew Factory c/o The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass (also super cute and very similar) Skirt: J. Crew Factory c/o The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass (other patterns) // Earrings: Sugarfix via Target (other colors here) // Tote: Tory Burch // Sandals: Target // Necklace: Kate Spade // Bracelets: Sugarfix via Target (other colors) // Watch: c/o Daniel Wellington
The sidewalk skirt from J. Crew Factory is probably my all-time favorite skirt. I own five at this point. The cinched top that ruffles at your waist is so feminine and insures a tailored fit. I have my skirt pulled down a little so you can see more of my flamingo tee, but this skirt also sits well at your natural waist. Both of these were outlet finds from when What Nicole Wore and I hit up the Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass for a girls day before our event last month!
When it comes to my handbags and purses, I try to pick pieces that I can get lots of wear out of–I styled this exact tote and sandal combo in yesterday’s post for a completely different look. To mix it up, I added a couple of my favorite of my favorite Sugarfix pieces. Sugarfix is the name for the jewelry line that’s a collaboration between Baublebar (my fav!) and Target. Their pieces are mostly under $15 and they really draw the attention when you wear them.
Daniel Wellington sent me a couple of watches, and I’ve been obsessing over this Classic Petite style in rose gold with a black watch face. Their leather watches are also super cute, with classic lines. Their watches would make a perfect Mother’s Day gift, and right now, you can get a complimentary heart charm that says “love” for your watch when you purchase a leather watch. You can save 15% off of your purchase when you use code BRIGHTONABUDGET.
What are you planning on gift-wise for Mother’s Day???

Nice to meet you!

LOVE the flamingo top. I wouldn’t have thought to pair it with that cobalt blue, it works so well. A definite must-try combination.
Just love this outfit, especially the earrings! Too cute! For Mother’s Day I asked my kids to give me the gift of time, they are going to carpool to their after school activities and that way I get 3 hours to myself during the week! Best gift ever! 😀 xx Rox-Anne Celebrating This Life
Cute outfit and that flamingo t-shirt is something I need in my life.
