Floral Metallic and Pastel Pink

If you caught a glimpse of this yesterday evening, my apologies! I got a little too excited while drafting this post and hit publish instead of preview. Anyway, just like I alluded to earlier this week, pastels and metallics are steadily hitting the shelves as the beginning of Spring nears. Whether you are planning your Easter outfit or Spring Break attire, it is never too early to start coordinating and planning your ensembles.

If you live in San Francisco, dressing in layers becomes routine. On the right side of the road it can be sunny and 70 degrees, while on the other, in the shade, it can be 55 degrees and windy! So before hitting the San Fran streets, I always pack a sweater or light jacket. When I came across this cotton candy colored floral metallic coat, there was no way I wasn’t ordering one for myself. Wear this piece buttoned up as a coat dress or pair it with separates. I didn’t want to compete with the awesome sheen finish, so I styled this gem with a solid light pink maxi length top and a white bandage skirt. To pull together the look, I threw on a bedazzled statement necklace and a pair of “vintage” (decade old) Gucci shades. Finally, I laced up my favorite pair of shooties to bring out the blue hues in the jacket. For under $50, you need a pair of these heels. They’re truly comfortable and the color is the perfect shade of powder blue.
