Yesterday, I posted an amazing bag from Payless (featured above.) Payless Insider (follow them at @PaylessInsider on twitter) asked me to create the perfect spring outfit to match this bag. My outfit is below!
The bag itself is definitely on the dressy side, so I wanted to feature items that you could pair with it for a more formal spring event. There are SO many formal spring events (graduations, easter, weddings, etc.), so I tried to keep this outfit on the cheap!
First, I went with a black and white dress from Ruche ($49.99,
BUY IT). It's definitely the most expensive part of the outfit, but it really is the perfect dress for spring, and I can't say this enough, white and black are the colors that never go out of style!
For shoes, I obviously turned to Payless ($24.99,
BUY IT.) These are a MUST for spring. A black patent leather heel will match almost anything, this should 100% be in your closet! I also like that the heel isn't sky high (comfy days are always better.)
We obviously needed some color in the ensemble, so I decided to go with purple jewelry. Cuff (Guess Macy's, $35.00,
BUY IT), Earrings (Etsy, Made by Estylo Jewelry $20.00,
BUY IT). The big purple jeweled cuff is exactly the color pop you need when there is so much black and white at play, and purple is the perfect color for a pop if you're not used to being noticed.
Hope you love the outfit. ENJOY SPRING!
Wow. Just, wow. There are so many things going wrong with this dress. first of all, its categorized as a "mermaid" dress and maybe they are taking that too literally. The change in the direction the satin hangs is really tough on the eye and the capped sleeves are totally out of place. Sorry but I'd tackle any of you if you tried to walk down the aisle in this.
Go casual in a cute set of days of the week underwear from Paul Frank. Each pair features a cute critter on the back - even Sunday! And for a full set of 7, this set is a great deal.
Ok, ok, I know it's pricey, but is this not the most awesome chair you have ever seen?!?! I think this chair is perfect for a patio or a balcony. I love the designs and colors, although I have to say this one is my favorite. These would be perfect for a garden party or spring gathering. I really love the antique feeling of this chair as well. Now, if only, Anthropologie made a matching table. Guess I will start saving up or hope it goes on sale real soon. Made By: Anthropologie Price: $248.00 BUY IT
Who said bridesmaids can't wear fashionable prints? I know it can be intimidating to choose prints for your bridesmaid dresses but if you alternate between printed and solid dresses (this dress next to an all black dress) you can really add dimension to the bridal party look while keeping it coordinated. 
These "Blushing Cluster" earrings would be a great feminine touch to complete your bridal look. They are much cheaper than the real thing but they still have a sophisticated design. Wear these little danglies without a necklace so as not to split focus on your jewelry, they can stand on their own.
