I had no idea when I first began putting this outfit together that it would turn out looking so happy and spring-like.. I  just wanted to wear white jeans! 

I added this green sweater and have to say love this shade of green… This is just a casual zip up cable knit with a hood.   I only had plans for grocery shopping, so added the ballet flats keeping that in mind.

That look was way to casual for my eye, so headed over to my assortment of scarves to come to my rescue and save the outfit. I was drawn to this floral due to the shade of green that complimented the sweater and I quite liked the result.

I ended up adding a trip to the Verizon Wireless store as my son’s Iphone was messing up and the girl there complimented my scarf and colorful outfit saying  she normally wears color, then tried to make herself smaller as she folded into herself..  It is hard to appreciate a compliment when I can see the girl not liking her own outfit…But it did reassure me that adding the scarf was as magical as I thought it was!  

This is my deep purple Kenneth Cole Reaction coat that I purchased at the end of the season last year.  I got it small on purpose and now it fits!  

Gratitude:  I am grateful that I called my daughter today, as she is under tons of stress and close to a break down.. She is a girl who hates to cry but was there today with all the weight of this final semester and the internship weighing down on her.  I am so grateful that she just got it all out and seemed so much at peace by the end of our conversation.  All anyone ever really needs is Compassion!!!!
