Hope everyone is faring as well as possible with our new normal. Here in Philly, we're on week 4 of quarantining and I'm definitely missing my normal routine of busy springtime activities. But I want to keep some normalcy in my life and that includes blogging about my favorite things, so you'll be seeing some posts, and photos, that I've been saving.

It seems like a long ago that I took these photos featuring one of my favorite spring trends - suits. And more specifically, colorful suits. It was just after a fun week at Philly Fashion Week where colored suits were all the rage. I even tried my own hand at styling a lilac set for one of the runway shows.

One of my favorite colors this season is green, a surprising choice for me because while it's a color I like, I don't wear often. Green has been one of the IT colors of spring, so I knew I wanted to style some green of my own! Right now I'm especially loving sage, olive and mint hues, which are fresh and remind me of springtime.
Another reason why I love sets is that they can be styled in so many ways. Here, I paired both pieces together, but I love a blazer with a white tee and jeans for a weekend look. I also love a blazer paired with a skirt or dress. Or I could wear these slacks with a cute blouse or sweater for an appropriate work look. I'll have to share another post on different ways to style a suit!
Something else that I've been into are clear accessories. This pearl bag caught my eye immediately and the my clear heel shoes were purchased for last year's Diner En Blanc. Because of their lack of color, these pieces are so versatile and can be paired with almost any look.
Since we're talking about accessories, let's talk about another trend I'm loving, chain necklaces. I love a chunky, yet minimalist piece like this necklace that can be dressed up or down. And of course a statement earring paired with an updo is one of my go-tos!
What do you think about this suit trend? Do you think it's here to stay?
