Bright Pants & Shop My Closet Week 13

Welcome back to a new week of Style Perspectives!  Today we're joining Shaunacey to style bright pants.  Be sure to head to The Blended Blog to see her look and find out who had the top two patterned blouse outfits.

Up until a few years ago when I "met" Shaunacey, I didn't own a single pair of bright pants. Mostly because I like to blend into the crowd, which is pretty much impossible when you're wearing hot pink.  But she wore them so well, I was inspired to give it a try.

I'm never sure how to style these Caslon chino pants, but everything goes with denim, so a jacket seemed like a good idea.  I paired the bright pants with neutrals on top to balance things out, and added a colorful necklace and flats.

Week 13 of Shop My Closet - out with winter and in with spring!  Last weekend I transitioned my closet, and it felt so good to pack away the winter sweaters and boots.  I loaded two huge bags with items for the thrift store.  If I hadn't worn them in the last 12 weeks, it was time to go!

Thursday

My last wool sweater until fall!  At least I hope so, since they're all packed away now.  I love the color of this, but I'm done with heavy fabrics.

Saturday

Movie date with my husband.  After last week's tarantula problem, I had my fingers crossed. Luckily, he thought I looked pretty.

Sunday

Happy Easter!  My pants are pale pink, and the top has fun bell sleeves.  None of which you can see in this picture.  I should have had someone else take it, but they were busy eating all the chocolate bunnies.

Tuesday 

I got this black and gray handkerchief top in a Stitch Fix last year.  No matter how I tried, I couldn't get a good picture.  You'll just have to imagine the cuteness.
