Perfect Pants

If I had to sum up my style using one piece of clothing, these pants would certainly be a contender! From the sunny yellow color to the subtle pattern to the fit, I adore everything about them.

I'm also excited to introduce another sponsor! LabourMade, purveyor of super cool handcrafted jewelry, is offering Kansas Couture readers an exclusive 25% discount on their first purchase! Just use coupon code KSCOUTURE25 at checkout.

So Hot Right Now

I keep hearing that dresses over pants is trendy at the moment. While I don't know if I'll fully embrace the craze, today's tunic over jeans felt like a subtle nod. What do you think of that pairing? Happy Friday, everyone! Have a wonderful weekend.

Minty Fresh

Lately my technique for getting dressed has been taking a pretty but not so weather-appropriate piece and pairing it with tights, boots and a jacket! It's also a great way to dress down a more fancy frock for daytime wear.

Warming Trend

The piles of snow are finally starting to melt, and it has me feeling more inspired than I have in awhile! I'm eager for warmer temperatures to roll around, so I can start wearing the spring outfits I've been dreaming up.

A couple of additional things... I am happy to welcome my sponsors for March! Loly in the sky is a new friend of Kansas Couture. Their sweet, whimsical shoes have me swooning. Lulu's is a longtime favorite, and, true to form, they have a vast selection of super cute and affordable items right now.

Also, to any fashion designers in the Kansas City area, the deadline to apply for the fabulous West Eighteenth Street Fashion Show is fast approaching -- March 18th! This year's theme is Gilded Summer. Event and application details can be found on their website!

Seeing Red

This blouse is a recent thrift store find that I had a hard time committing to for some reason. Right now I'm trying to purge my closet rather than add to it, but I figured a $4 purchase wasn't worth fretting over. Plus, red is rivaling yellow as the main color of my closet these days, so I'm sure it'll get its share of wear!

Red, White & Blue

The rubber boots and leggings haven't gone anywhere, but at least I'm wearing a dress! And to take my return to the real world a step further, I'm actually venturing out of my apartment tonight to celebrate my sissie's birthday! Kind of a big deal.

Wintry Conditions

Thanks to two blizzards in one week, I've spent more than my fair share of time in leggings, sweaters and wellies! As beautiful as the fallen snow looks and as nice as it has been to hunker down in my cozy apartment with my pug, I am looking forward to wearing proper shoes again sometime soon.
