Why I Love Button Ups and You Should Too
I Love Button Up by fraziergirl featuring wedge shoes
If these were the only peices of clothing in my closet, I would never have to shop again. Okay, I would actually, but not for a very long time and only to purchase more button ups! I mentioned in my 10 Essentials for Spring post, that I have a slight obsession with button ups. So, now I am devoting an entire post to them to let button ups all over the world know how much they adored. I am probably getting carried away as a button up is shirt with buttons, not really a new invention and I am sure you have seen them before. They became super popular a couple of years ago when everyone was wearing plaid and pretending they were Carrie Underwood. Now, that the fad is over plaid buttons ups are still in, but so are regular button ups. And, I am not just talking about the ones you stick in a pencil skirt. I am talking about button ups that will change your life. You can wear a button up with pretty much anything. I didn't have enough space on polyvore.com to make more outfits, but I definitely could. I mean, I really... really could.

10 Essential Must Haves for Spring!
Spring is the time to blossom. It's the time to get started on your New Year Resolutions (again...), stop and smell the roses, enjoy the sunshine and the cool breeze. However, if you going to "Spring" into action then you must dress properly, and be prepared for the awesomeness that Spring brings! I know Spring officially began about a week ago, but I'd figure I'd let all you late bloomers know my Top 10 Must Have Essentials for Spring. You know what they say, it's never too late to look great!
1. Light Color/Pastel Blazer: I have to admit that I have a small obsession with blazers. They were truly and seriously created for me...and you! I can wear them with a dress, shorts, jeans, linen, tank tops, blouses, to work, to play, to date. The list goes on and on! For the Spring, I like lighter colors or pastels. I find that a pastel pink pretty much goes with everything.
2. Color Blocking Dress: Color Blocking is the name of the game if you haven't heard already. Color blocking when done correctly can look incredible. I chose this because it's bright and screams SPRING! I also like that the colors are still color blocked but similar enough to easily match with shoes, accessories, and outerwear.
3. Light Color/Pastel Pencil Skirt: Pencil skirts are cute in every situation. Get one in a nice light color that will compliment most of your tops. Khaki is also a great alternative. You can't go wrong.
4. Button Up Blouses: Okay, this is definitely my second obsession. Button ups are the epitome of versatility. This shirt can honestly go with anything. I can't even begin to tell you the pain I feel when I have to resist buying a really cute button up. It hurts. It hurts a lot. Pick up one (or many) in any color.
5. Ballet Flats: I love brightly colored ballet flats for the spring. On those lazy days when it's too cold wear sandals, a ballet flat always fits the bill. They will always compliment your outfit, and your hardworking feet will thank you from the high heel break!
6. Airy Blouses: With Spring comes the wind, and trust me you want to look great in the wind. This flowy blouse is perfect over leggings, in a pencil skit, and anything else. It also goes great under blazers and looks perfect with jeans and ballet flat. It's also great to own a blouse that is warm enough to wear without a jacket. It really helps simply things.
7. Jean Shorts: Not much to say here. Get some. I would go with a jean pair and then venture out to other styles as the wallet will allow.
8. Pastel Skinny Jeans: It's another must have trend for the Spring. Get a light color that will go with many things you already own. They are fun to wear, so accesorise accordingly and play around with them!
9. High Heel Wedges: I love wedges, they are great comfort wise, and there are so many styles available you really can't buy a bad pair!
10. Leather/Faux Leather Jacket: April flowers, really do bring May showers so be prepared! I live in California, so a big jacket is almost NEVER necessary here. Honestly, just driving from one city to the next will have you looking either to hot or too cold. A warm casual leather jacket is great to have, and it will look great with everything!

Spring is here!
Spring is here and boy is it grand! There is so much to look forward to when Spring comes. More daylight, growing flowers, colorful trees, Easter, SPRING BREAK!, and most of all the best weather that most cities will experience all year. It's the perfect mix of windy breezes, warm sun, and just enough chill to wear a cute a blazer or sweater. Not only that, but we can begin to forget the drab and drear colors of winter and pop into the colorful tones of whatever the day brings. This is my ultimate perfect spring outfit. It would be perfect for any day. Even this rainy Spring day that I am experiencing as I type this. I love it. I wish I had it. Darn you polyvore! Darn you!! Surprisingly, I actually have a variation of all these pieces except for the mint jeans (which I love! Get in my closet!!), I will have to pick those up at my local Forever 21. And ya know... I don't really mind doing that. The challenge will be getting out of there well-- first alive, and second with one item and not ten. Wish me luck. My version of this outfit will pop up on the blog soon. Stay tuned, and Happy Spring!
