Well, what do ya' know. Florals are in this season and guess who already had some floral in her closet?

That's why it's so hard for me to "clean" out my closet. These trends come back over and over again!

My rule of thumb for a clothing purge is to only let go of the items that no longer fit and are worn out. Even some worn pieces can be revived. Remember that go to tailor and shoe cobbler that you have on speed dial? Yeah, use them.

Other than that, most things stay in the closet to be loved on just one more time.

When the Peter Pan collars first made their way into the fashion scene a season or two ago, I was not all that thrilled about them. I mean I wore Peter Pan collared shirts with my catholic school uniform. Trust me, it was completely unsexy.

But I am 100% in love with the gold Peter Pan collared necklace worn in this look. Paired with the gold accents in the blazer, clutch and shoes; it brings the entire look together.

It dawned on me that I'm practically fully covered. Well, except for my peek-a-boo lace top paired with a navy blue lace bra. This is a great way to add a little sexy without looking overexposed.
