Something old...Something new...

Two outfits, same essential items. You can go from day to night with a great pair of jeans and a white tee. The right accessories will take you right there! Here is my interpretation that you can do too!

Day Time Look



You need a pop of color to proclaim it's spring! I'm so into over the shoulder bags and purses for convenience, and an easy day-time look. I found this at JC Penny and if I remember correctly, I think I got it for free with a $10 coupon! Don't be afraid to mix gold and silver in the same outfit!


I just found these little beauties in a gift shop at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore. I love the melon green and how they dress up an outfit. I would pick studs over dangley earrings any day!


A white tee from Forever 21 for about $4 bucks and a black scarf make a spring or summer outfit look easy and relaxed.


This was a steal! Literally! I got this at a secret Santa in college last year, and we played dirty Santa! I stole this little guy maybe 2 or 3 times until it was mine! It's from J-Crew and I think it cost around $12.


My search is over! I finally found the jeans I was in search of! I wanted a flour-de-lis on the back pockets of some perfectly faded jeans that could cuff into cute high waters or worn long with heels.


And to complement the beautifully studded jeans, a cute pair of black studded flip flops for spring and summer. A good pair of black flips flops are essential to have since they generally don't show dirt, and go with anything. I love these because they add a little spice to the original black flip flop and the best part, they were a Wal-Mart steal for under $10 bucks! They complete this outfit!

Into the Night!



Love this little black clutch! Got it for Christmas a few years ago from my soon-to-be sister-in-law. I use it every time I go out for a fun night out or when I don't want a bulky purse and want something a little more simple and chic. You can't go wrong with a simple black clutch.


This little black belt with studs and a bow add a feminine yet tough touch to this outfit. Slip it through the belt loops for a sassy little touch to the outfit. A Forever 21 find, for under $10 that I love to wear with a cropped winter jacket.


Pair a funky statement necklace with a simple white tee and you'll be sure to get noticed. This has been a trend for quite some time, but I don't see it dying anytime soon! I found this lovely black necklace at JC Penny's. I personally think if you are looking for statement jewelry, check JC Penny's first. They are always having sales and have some really fun things! With a necklace like this, be sure to go VERY simple on the earrings.


Ah! These don't need a lot of explaining. Patent Jessica Simpson pumps with a wood base add style and texture. I like the base with this outfit, since it adds a little unexpected twist. Don't be afraid to mix textures and colors to avoid the whole matchy matchy thing. I'm not a fan of matchy matchy!

Now go scourer for some hidden treasures in your own closet and pair them up with simple tees and funky jeans and make a statement for spring and summer without spending a lot $$$!
