homegrown-chic: March 2012

Only a couple more days until it is officially spring, and I couldn't be more excited! Although it literally feels like summer here, haha! Regardless..with all of the beautiful trees blooming, the delicious fruits in season, and the bright colors all around, I've made it my mission to incorporate some more of these colors into my everyday life. One color I'm particularly fond of right now is coral! Somewhere in between pink, red, and orange, coral is a perfectly pretty hue that can breathe a new freshness into any aspect of your life!

Here's how I attempted to coral-ize my life!

From my clothes, to shoes, to my attempt at ombre nails, all the way to my undies and even a couple of my paintings...coral is making its way into my life, and I sure hope it's here to stay! :)

Hey everyone, my name is Chelsey!

This is my first post for homegrown-chic, a place where I hope to express my thoughts and give a sneak peek into my life where everyday I try to find the chic in the little things, in my own hometown!

As you all know spring time is fast approaching and with warmer weather on the way, it means it's time for some serious spring cleaning! The first project I'll be checking off my list this season is my closet! Purging your closet of all the bulky winter wear you own is definitely a great way to start, especially when you think about all the left over room you'll have for the beautiful, bright colored, spring clothing and accessories that await you!

While digging around in my closet, sorting and rearranging all of my winter wear, I came across a few of my favorite spring staples that are sure to get me through this season without breaking the bank. It's a great feeling when you blow the dust off that peachy pink necklace from last summer, and slip your foot into that nude sandal that your haven't rocked in months!

By reintroducing a few old friends from past seasons and reincorporating them into your wardrobe, these key pieces can be exactly what you need to add that extra something to your warm weather wear!

So instead of hitting up the mall this weekend, take inventory of what you already own and figure out a way to make it fresh. Renewal and freshness is what spring is all about isn't it? So take a shopping trip to your closet for a budget friendly way to breath new life into your wardrobe, you might actually be surprised at what you'd find!
