Fashion Challegne: Super Stripes Week

Sweater: American Eagle, similar, similar. Tee: Target. Jeans: Vigoss, similar. Shoes: Naot.

It's the one year anniversary of the Fashion Challenge, hosted by Casual Chic Kiki and Megan Mae Daily! Just over a year ago Megan asked me to co-host the Fashion Challenge with her. Of course I said yes! So, since then we've put our heads together to come up with some pretty fun challenges. Click here to see past Fashion Challenges which include, Spring Trends 2011, Remix Week, Layer Up, This or That and Neutrals Week.

To pay homage to our 1 year anniversary we decided to host Super Stripes Week again! Stripes have been everywhere for so long. We knew all of you lovlies would have stripes in your closet so this week would be a cinch! I have accumulated so many stripes over the last year that I had hard time choosing which ones to wear this week. So, I'm starting out super casual and comfy (my signature style).

Check out this week's participant list at Megan Mae Daily.

I'd like to address the new links you may have noticed in my posts. I've joined ShopStyle and ShopSense in an effort to share piece of my wardrobe that are available to you. The links do produce revenue for Casual Chic Kiki. It does take time an money to keep up a blog. So, every little bit helps. But mostly, if you see me wearing a piece you love, I've posted the link to save you some shopping time! I also try to link to pieces that are under $50 and $100. Please note that some of my designer pieces and shoes are not under $100. But I'll do my best.

I Love Being Green

Cardigan, similar and Top, similar, similar: INC. Jeans: White House Black Market, here. Shoes: Clarks, here. Bag: Coach Outlet, similar. Necklace: Gift.

I fell in love with this color when I saw it at Macy's. Then I tried it on and it's just gorgeous! I love wearing jewel tones. They are so vibrant and just pop against anything.

Happy St. Patty's Day! I never thought much of this holiday until just a few years ago. St. Patrick's Day has been close to my heart since 2007. It was my first date with my hubby! He asked me what I wanted to do on our date and I told him I wanted to go out for a green drink, as I'd never done it before. And we did. It was the most casual, but best date ever! We were so comfortable together, it lasted hours and hours and hours. And then one year later St. Patrick brought me luck again when he asked me to marry him! We were married 3 months later in Las Vegas and have been married ever since. Perhaps the leprechauns had it planned all along?

What's your best St. Patrick's Day memory?

It's almost here: Fashion Challenge: Super Stripes Week! Starts Monday!

Shopping in Sequins

Sweater: INC, similar, similar, similar. Jeggings: RSQ Miami Jegging, here. Shoes: Palladium, similar. Handbag: Coach Outlet, similar, similar.

I remixed my slouchy sequin sweater for a day on the town with my mom and later, dinner with both my mom and dad. I love these jeggings for how stretchy they are, but buy a size smaller than you think you should get, they stretch a ton. And I love this sweater becasue it feels like a cozy sweatshirt (not that you'll ever find me in one unless I'm camping). Comfy shoes and a handbag that I throw over my shoulder or wear as a cross-body bag are essential for a day of walking and shopping.

What do you wear for a day of shopping?

Don't forget about next week's Fashion Challenge: Super Stripes Week! It starts Monday! I'm ready, are you? Check out Megan's blog, this weekend, for inspiration.

Favorite Sweater

Sweater: Karl Lagerfeld for Macy's. Jeans: Vigoss. Boots: Boutique 9.

This is my favorite cold-weather sweater. It's so cozy and so warm and soft. It dresses up and down. It's for work or weekends. It's the perfect slouchy goodness one needs in a busy week. I also love Boutique 9 boots! I wore my brown, knee-high, Boutique 9s yesterday and today I'm wearing my taupe, ankle boots. The leather on both is so buttery and soft. The foot-bed doesn't have much support, but I can still be on my feet all day in them. If you're ever looking for a fabulous, high-quality boot check them out! (Not a sponsored post.)

Don't forget to join me and Megan for next week's Fashion Challenge: Super Stripes Week! It's just around the corner!
