True Beauty Files: Tone on Tone

{Cardi: GAP (gift), Denim: ON, Scarf: c/o Three Bird Nest , Earrings: c/o LYLIF, Tote: H&M, Belt & Nail color: H&M, Shoes: Jessica Simpson}

Style Word: As you can see from Friday's post, blues and greens are a hit with me right now! (For example.) Its appealing to the eye to see warm or cool colors from the same family paired up and layered. Yesterday I pulled out some peach and tangerine to make a nice fruit salad  color mash up:)

How was your weekend?? My hubs has today and tomorrow off, so I feel like we are on a mini spring break!

The True Beauty Files:
A lookbook for the modern modeste.
"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years." 
~ Audrey Hepburn
