Yesterday was my birthday and I wore my favorite color…blush! ย When I was in my 20’s, my favorite color was a sage green. ย I went through a few years where it was pink. ย Now it’s blush. ย Blush is kind of like pink, but has a peach tone to it. ย I also have brand colors here on ClassyYetTrendy.com as, you got it…blush and black.
I celebrated my birthday yesterday by working at my job all day (ugh!) and eating some delicious cake with my co-workers. ย My hubby always orders me flowers for my birthday/Valentine’s Day and this year my flowers arrived with a box of Sherrie’s Berries (chocolate covered strawberries). ย Last night, my hubby took my daughter and I to eat a nice steak dinner by candlelight. ย Yep, when you have children, they get to have a nice Valentine meal with you too! ย We all enjoyed it and the steaks were delicious.
Now, on to today’s post. ย I guess you may know by now, with my Spring Trends Report and 4 Ways To Wear a Bell Sleeve Top, that bell sleeves are “in”. ย If you like them, they can be a nice addition to your wardrobe. ย I’m not one to readily jump on the “trend wagon”, but I just had to incorporate this bell sleeve top I’m wearing into my Spring capsule wardrobe. ย I also included it in The Essential Capsule Wardrobe: Spring 2017 Collection e-Book, which guides you from start-to-finish on creating your own capsule wardrobe, has all the clothes and shoes shown that you would need for your capsule wardrobe, Dozens of outfit ideas and more! ย This bell sleeve top comes in four colors: “Red Pepper”, “Pink Smoke”, “Navy Stripe” and “Black”. ย If you like to layer clothes like I do, bell sleeve tops can be kind of tricky. ย Get a bell sleeve that lays well and is not too poofy. ย That way you won’t look like you have “Popeye” arms when you wear a jacket or cardigan over it.
These white jeans are my favorite white jeans I’ve owned. ย I tried 2 pair before these. ย The first pair was too thin and was kind of see-through, the second pair was too stiff, but these Articles of Society jeans from Nordstrom are just right (I kind of sound like Goldilocks, huh?). ย They fit just right, with a little stretchiness, are not see-through, the right length, they are perfect, even the price was very affordable, at $59!
These Gemma cap-toe flats are new. ย They remind me of Chanel shoes, but are much less expensive. ย I wore them for the first time yesterday since the temp was 67 degrees! ย They are super comfy and I think I could wear them all day. ย If you are looking to add a blush pair of ballet shoes to your wardrobe, but need a more budget-friendly version, this pair from Old Navy are beautiful!

Happy birthday, Leanne. Blush is definitely your color. You are lovely in these photos.
Happy Birthday!!
I love these sleeves. I was thinking that sometimes they could get in the way, but since these are only 3/4 length, I bet it wouldn’t be a problem!!

You look gorgeous! I have some light pink items that don’t seem to look good on me so I’m going to try the blush. It’s more sophisticated.
Love the link up #16 with the skirt and high tops! Wish I could carry off something like that .
Thanks for sharing!
Happy birthday! Looking beautiful in blush. Love this bright, soft look.
