Head over Heels

I have always wanted to be one of those girls who effortessly wears heels for daily activities like errands and work. Unfortunately, my feet were not built for such glamorous habits because I cringe at the thought of having to walk in anything but flats or sneakers for such things (even though I love a good pump). I blame my flat feet and the orthopedic boots I wore as a child, but I must say I've made a conscious effort to amp up my shoe game and succumb to heel time more often than usual. I have yet to run errands in heels, I must confess I am also too clumsy to be on the go in them - but, they are in rotation for events and dressy weekend outings.

This is a look I would wear during the day or even for a low key outing at night. But, the thought process behind this look was definitely an aspirational one of heels in the daytime; like a Kardashian.

Revelation: For the first time in my life I'm in a "no earrings doesn't make me look like a boy" phase.

Lately, I find myself inclined towards wearing basic t-shirts and pairing them with a dressier element than usual and while I realize this may seem as an unlikely combination for some, I happen to like the juxtaposition of both styles. Now you may ask - why black Karla, it's Spring?! But, in this case I feel very Summer ready with the neon accented letters and accessories.

Love repping Miami and this shirt is a great way to do so, à la Miami Vice. Thanks to my friends at Music Fest Tees for giving me this shirt. I immediately knew I wanted it the moment I saw it on a guy friend of mine. This is actually a men's medium, although it does come in lady sizes but the fit is more baby-tee like and I personally rather a true tee fit, so men's was the way for me.

I'm so happy to have finally linked up with my friend and fellow blogger, Ana from Chic Streets and Eats. We had been talking about doing a post together for quite some time now and were finally able to get to it once our schedules magically worked out on the same day. Not only did we want to work on a post together because we both admire each other's styles, but truly any excuse to hang out with Ana is worth it to me since we always laugh tons!

Here we show you two Spring outfits perfect for daytime fun, be it: brunch, bridal shower, or any other reason to dress up and feel pretty. I chose a monochromatic look filled with rose pinks and nudes and I promise you I didn't intend on a head to toe Zara look, but sometimes a girl can't help herself there! This skirt has a great way of floating so effortlessly and I was drawn to its subtle high-low look. I absolutely loved Ana's edgier take on Spring fashion, the dress has such a great mix of colors and prints, and so perfectly complements her Via Spigga lucite heels!

Hop on over to Ana's blog to take a look at her outfit in detail.
