New Pastel Floral Sweater.

Pastels and Florals are two of my favorite things for Spring. Meet my new Favorite Sweater. It was 14 bucks and it has a Pretty Artsy Floral Print in shades of Blush, Baby Pink and Nude. I love it. I wore it on the same day I bought it (just yesterday, in case you are wondering). It was with a gift card from my lovely mom so Thanks Mom. She had seen it at the store by the way and told me about it. The first time around it I wore it with my Skinny Ponte+Faux Leather Black Pants and Nude Patent Leather Pumps which match the Sweater so well. I added a couple of Bracelets, a Pink Watch and a Coral Statement Necklace. I ended up loving this Outfit worn to work and later to dinner.

This is the first Outfit from my Top 10 Challenge Remix and the item I am remixing is the Coral Necklace.

This Outfit also follows Pastels from the next prompt on the Create 28 Spring Looks (a challenge I am currently doing) and tomorrow it is "Flaunt Your Florals" so technically my Sweater covers both, but I have more Floral coming your way on Thursday, actually. I am also linking it with Jana because the Creative Closet this week is all about Fabulous Florals.

A few days ago I showed you a Sneak Peek of my Top 10 Items that I am remixing and here they are below as well, in detail. The premise of this challenge is to choose 10 items that represent you, your current closet, your style and life-style and remix them into outfits for a month. It is not a capsule challenge, but at least one of the items should be remixed into each day's outfit.

Keeping in mind that April has unpredictable weather and that I wanted to include some of the new items I have recently purchased (and that I would also follow the other Challenge of Create 28 Lovely Spring Looks), but first and foremost knowing my style and what I like well I chose the below ten. So let me explain. I have always loved a Blazer and wear one often. I knew I wanted to include at least a Blazer. My Favorite Current Blazer is the Navy Watercolor one I included. I love Stripes and wear them at least once a week. I consider Black+White or Navy+White Stripes a neutral. I knew I wanted to include my newest B+W Striped Dress, but I did throw in one of my Striped Sweaters also. April isn't  very warm still so I would include at least a couple of Sweaters. The other one is my new Mint Sweater which I love and is perfect for Spring. Since I added a pair of White Skinny Jeans to my closet, I knew they would be in the top 10. They seriously go with everything and I have already worn them 4 times (once prior to starting the challenge IRL). I threw in a Skirt also. I made mine a Pencil Skirt to wear to work and this Blush+Navy one had been neglected far too long. It is too nice and basic not to be worn and the colors are season-less. As far as shoes I almost made it two different pairs of flats but I am glad I settled for my Turquoise Smoking Flats (never seen on the blog, yet) and my Brown Edgy Buckle Booties. I did wear Boots twice this month already due to bad weather but I am hoping unless I am wearing Sandals, Flats or Heels, Booties would my choice for not-so-nice weather, not Boots. Rounding up the top 10 are 2 Accessories. I knew I wanted to include a Floral Scarf because duhh it is Spring and a Statement Necklace. I chose a multi-colored Floral Scarf (with a white base) on purpose to mix and match with several things and a Coral Necklace because Coral is a great color to ease into Spring. What do you think of my Top 10 Items and my reasoning behind them?
