First off, I’d like to say that last week’s post is comedic gold if you read it + the comments you all left. Half of you feel the exact same way and actually one-up’d me in the crazy and the other possibly can never get past my crazy. It’s cool though, it’s a safe place here. I say that hoping that one of you will say something that makes me feel better about my crazy. Anyway, on to the business at hand… spring blues.
I’m not going to lie, it’s hard to wake up and be super perky to greet the day when the sun is just rising at 7:30 am. So yeah, I am a little blu-ey about that. However, my spring blues are really being caused by my very real obsession with blue right now. In any form. I mean, I could wear a black skirt….but then I could also just wear five different shades of blue and call it good.
Denim Jacket: Old Navy (exact)
Skirt: J. Crew (exact)
Lace Top: Forever21 (VERY similar)
Bag: Kate Spade (similar) (similar)
Shoes: Banana Republic (similar for under $30)
Necklace: BaubleBar (exact)
I’m having to write lists about how I need to remember to wear something OTHER than blue. Not just blue actually, blue on blue on blue with a side of blue. I don’t know what’s going on with me. You’d think that I would be constantly buying pink but nope, it’s all blue. This week I am planning my Easter outfit and guess what….yeah, everything I pulled was blue and I had to ban myself from it.

i love this outfit, your necklace is really beautiful, and don't make me talk about your hair

Hey, Kate Middleton made blue one of her signature colours, I don't think there is anything wrong with that, if there is a special colour you like and you want to wear, it can be awesome to make it your own.
Rachelle Pinksole
yea I wear a lot of blue as well, but it's the best! I have that little skirt and love it! You look adorable and your curls are perfect.

For a while there, and even now sometimes, I have to remind myself when I'm shopping that clothes come in other colors. But I just always want the blues!
Jessica
Navy just seems more appropriate for spring than black. (I say that, yet I'll probably still reach for a black skirt when I start getting ready for work today!) Besides, I'd probably wear all the blues to mix and match with that beautiful bag too!

I also have to remind myself to wear colors other than red (that's what I naturally gravitate to). Love this casual chic look on you!

In my world there is no way you can go wrong with blue! I love this, especially that delicate lace top!

I just realized I wear blues a lot and buys them a lot too. It is a weird thing. I am trying to consciously branch out.

blue it up, girl!! you look great and happy week to us!!

Two things:
1. Your hair looks AMAZing!
2. I have the same issue with blue. It's an accomplishment if I put on an outfit that does not include blue. However, I see nothing wrong with wearing the same color frequently if that's what makes you happy.

LOVE the light shade of this jean jacket! Gorgeous as always!

The way you are with blue, I am with stripes. I once went through my blog and realized that 8 of 9 outfits in a row had stripes in them. But blue is such a great color on you, there's nothing wrong with wearing it over and over again!

Aw you look so springy and cute Alissa! Love that bag!

True story. Right this very second I am wearing a black skirt, denim jacket and blue bag, and I was having the hardest time picking out what shirt to wear. Now I'm kicking myself for not going with lace because you are rocking the heck out of this look!

I am a blue fan myself and will never stop wearing blue! More than pink! And oh g-d, I would be a nightmare at 7am. My day starts later and ends later and I couldn't survive any other way!

Right now in my life if whatever I pull from the closet fits, then I say go with it. If it doesn't fit, you don't want to be around me as I whine and wonder what the heck I could have eaten that was soooo good that my clothes no longer fit. Did I really need those extra Nacho chips? Was I really starving when I just had to have another Fig bar? (Man, oh, man. Costco kills me) Couldn't I have been satisfied with a triangle plate, veggies, salad and meat? Was dessert that important that I can now only wear elastic waisted pants and then truly look my age, which is old? ugh! You, on the otherhand must know how to pull and put on. Me, I'd just look, yeah, old. Love those curls girl!

Wellllll look at you and your sexy lace! Hubba hubba. Or something like that. I don't know, I've been out of the game for a while.

I thought I was the only one struggling with the time change! As much as I love that it stays light later, I hate getting up in the dark! Blue looks great on you so I can totally understand not wanting to wear another color. This is such a great outfit and I love that lacy top!

Blue is a pretty awesome color. If you were dressing in head to toe any other color, (except black or white) I'd probably be rolling my eyes. But blue? Blue is an amazing shade. Just keep wearing it.
If the sun isn't rising until 7:30, does that also mean it's not setting until 8:15?

There's nothing wrong with blue! But then again, it's pretty much my favorite color 🙂 LOVE that denim jacket – I have a similar one that I wear all the time in spring.I think it's the perfect shade of blue!

I definitely get hooked on colors as well (white for me right now, even though it's technically not a color), and blue looks pretty on you and makes you feel good so who cares if you wear it a lot?! I love that denim jacket on you and so wish it had fit me when I tried it on last week 🙁
