Color Crush: Spring Green

Hello lovelies and happy Monday.  I'm trying to get back into the swing of things after the weekend, and with my daughter returning to school after her Spring break.  Phew.

This weekend I really started to notice all the lovely green hues around me (one of the best parts of Spring in my opinion)... and this post was born from that (and from the inspiration of that lovely teapot in image one).  As much as I do love green, I'm not sure that I could take it in such a large dose (as all these things grouped together)... but on its own, a subtle accent of green or a cute tea mug in this case... is just the thing.  What colors are jumping out at you today?  xox Ez

Today's chic for cheap look was requested by Dana who will be graduating in a couple of weeks and would like an outfit that she can wear under her robe, as well as out to lunch with her folks afterward.  Here are a few more details in Dana's own words:

"I will be graduating from college in a few weeks. It doesn't have to be anything formal, just something that I can wear under my cap and gown and then wear to lunch afterward with my family and friends. I like skirts and dresses but the ceremony is in December so it's actually starting to get chilly in Texas now.  Any ideas?"

So what do you think lovelies?  Do you have any ideas for Dana?  If so put your look together using Polyvore or your own software and leave a link to your ensemble in the comment section of this post.

Congratulations Dana!  No matter what you wear, I hope you will have a wonderful day celebrating your accomplishments with the ones you love.
