Beauty & Style with Jill {week IV}

Welcome back to my weekly column, where I share my favorite ensembles from the prior week to help you create new looks with all the clothes you already own.

I love putting new pieces together with items I have owned for years.  Like these brown boots!

I am in love with this marsala skirt.  You can see it with another look in the fashion tips below.

I’m also going to show you how one very fun and inexpensive statement necklace can be

worn with several different looks.

Don’t mind the shadows on me. Remember my children are taking these photos. HA! 

It might be time to set up my tripod and use the remote.

Just to prove how much use I have gotten out of this necklace from Target, here is another ensemble I put together with pieces in my closet that are more than a few years old.

Express is showing this look for Spring 2015

These three are right from my pin board and off the runway.

 

You will all get to know that I LOVE POLKA DOTS!  

Here are some of my favorites that I can’t wait to wear again this Spring.

 

I love this next ensemble and you can find it here on my pin board. 

Especially with the shoes that are a big trend for this Spring.

 

 

#2 Trend Alert – Get Ready to BLUSH!

All of these can be found at Payless Shoes

 

I might try to pull this next look off.  I love all the color with a classic blush/nude shoe.

However, I will be using this outfit to inspire me to mix patterns and textures.

Animal prints remain a hot item to wear for Spring.
