Happy Friday ladies! Thank yall so much for stopping by; it means a lot to me. = ) Today a fellow Memphis Blogger, Amanda from the Sequined Spaniel, is doing a guest post for me. I haven’t met her IRL yet, but I hope to really soon at our next Memphis Blogger Meetup. I love Amanda’s style, and she is definitely on my list of people whose closets I would want to raid (and how convenient that we live near each other!) Make sure you stop by and say hello to her, and don’t forget to enter the giveaways here, here, here and here. See yall later!
Hello Walking In Memphis In High Heels readers! I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to guest post for Laura! My name is Amanda and I write a style blog called The Sequined Spaniel. It is my creative space where I share my love for fashion and food, document life with my new husband and furry children, and share tips for shopping on a budget. I’d love for you to stop by and say hello!
Blazer: J. Crew (in navy here) / Blouse: J. Crew (factory version here) / Top: J. Crew Factory (on sale!) / Jeans: Express (old; this season’s options here) / Boots: Vince Camuto (or similar) / Necklace: Sandy Hyun
Winter is my least favorite season, so it’s never a surprise that I try to dress all spring-like in February year after year. What can I say, I’m impatient! While it’s still too chilly for skirts and sandals here in Tennessee, I believe it’s entirely acceptable to begin mixing spring items with heavier layers to create an appropriate balance for this in-between time of year. The key to effortlessly transition from winter to spring is to layer and play with mixing textures! If you’re wearing a silk chiffon blouse, throw a chunky sweater or leather jacket over it. In this case, I paired my mint sequin top with a neutral wool blazer.
If you’re not quite up for a mint sequin top, start small! Try incorporating a sorbet-inspired necklace or a pastel manicure. For more spring ideas, hop on over to my post from Wednesday, Pretty Pastels.
It’s great to meet y’all! Thanks for reading!
Love the mint top and the way you paired it with the black and white underneath. Great look!
Thank you, Vickie!

Thanks! I'm obsessed with mint. My new favorite! I personally thing it's great year-round 🙂
Amanda's looking flawless as always!
Amanda–last night Will and I were talking about you and the fact that we don't think you even own any "bum" clothes! Haha 😉
Great post!
Aw you're sweet! And yes, I DO own bum clothes. Come to my house on any given night and you'll see my holey sweats and 10-year old t-shirts!
Love seeing bloggers collaborate! This is a great outfit and the sparkly booties are such a great touch! x, Kat

Thanks, Sheree! I just started putting things on, throwing things off, and this is what I came up with. My husband was not pleased with the mess I made, to say the least 🙂

Thanks a bunch! It's always hard to transition, in my opinion!
Love the sequined tank over the polka dot blouse! Might have to try that 🙂

At first I wasn't sure about the combo, but I made it work with the blazer on top. My husband was like… "that doesn't look right." But I did it anyway 🙂
