Well the Rain Exploded with a Mighty Crash
As we Fell Into the Sun



a bit of a nautical beachy look for spring with a short burberry trench coat and white jeans and a striped tank with red accessories, DSC_0416


What I'm Wearing
* Burberry short double breasted trench ...I think I wear my trench most often in the Spring. It's lightweight but still warm and the color is so fresh and Springy. {and yes, I already wore it once this month}
* Blue & White striped tank by C&C California ...seen here
* Made & Crafted white Levi's skinny jeans
* very Vintage sheer ombre scarf and Tiffany lock necklace
* Jimmy Choo espadrilles Looking for espadrilles? See my post from Sunday
* Kate Spade red crocodile tote bag ...from a GILT sale forever ago.

* Title lyrics from Paul McCartney "Band on the Run" ...such a great groove

Last week I didn't mind the dark roots in my hair & was really thinking of going with the ombre look for awhile. This week, I hate them. It could be that the ombre effect looks better on straight hair or that maybe I felt a bit saucier in that outfit, but I'm thinking my period must be coming ...yes, TMI, but that seems to tarnish many a good thing for a good 3-4 days. Then the sun rises again and color returns to my face and all looks normal again. I may just try to schedule an appointment before the winds change though as to prevent any unnecessary added complications. On the regular, I really work hard at trying not to add stress to my life ...because driving in LA alone has added years to my complexion, not to mention the smoking. 5 years smoke free this June ...not that I don't often dream of inhaling on the rare or not so rare occasion

Love this outfit. I dont think i could ever pull off white jeans but the look great on you. Jealous its only March and you can already wear open toes-we might get to do that for a day and a half around july! Btw congrats on being nearly 5 years smoke-free. I was 5 years in October last.

Stephanie said...

For what it's worth, I'm loving the way your roots are growing in...I think the "ombre" look very much suits you (and not just when your hair is styled straight). I've worn my trench a few times this month as well, it's such a classic!

Sal said...

You do classic looks so beautifully, lady!

chickyburd said...

Bitch about your hair if you want, but I will forever be jealous of your ability to look so great in white skinnys :) I'm a size 4-6 also, but shaped very differently... if I were to put those on, I'd look like a Mack truck after a snow storm.

MerciBlahBlah said...

This outfit? Per-fec-tion. LOVE it. That ombre scarf, the striped tank? The Burberry trench? GET OUTTA HERE with that nonsense. Love it.

merci!

Hi Maegan, I just started following your blog. Thank you for posting this great outfit. I'm always afraid that a trench looks dull, but not the way you are it! Very nice!

So so so cute! I am guessing that you could wear a potato sack and make it look fabulous.

Anonymous said...

Would love to see you in your highlighted light strawberry blonde hair color.......it truly shows your beautiful blue eyes. Just sayin'...........

Craftmaker said...

Love the entire look, but the bag and the spadrilles the most.
We all have those 3-4 days once a month and it gets us in the worst mood possible. How did't they invent something to make us feel better? For me the only thing that seems to work is chocolate :)

Love + Marriage said...

Usually I'm not into the preppy thing but this is so cute! I love those jeans on you!

*amanda* said...

Whooo! White skinnies! ...Spring must have!
...but be careful with them if your peer's coming...
(I've made THAT mistake before!)

Haa haa! Speaking of T.M.I. ...

;)

besswess said...

So happy it is SPRING!
Love the scarf! Have a great day!

MissGChic said...

Your pics are amazing, as usual. lol.

Thanks for the follow on twitter!

The Blondiii said...

Love your outfit and your blog! I'm follow your blog now gorgeous!

Absolutely Mrs. K said...

wow this look fabulous on you. i love the bright colors, they make you glow. the white, red and blue combination is just stunning. of course you cannot go wrong white the striped t-shirt. but i love the red. it is so brights and it turns the volume up. but the finishing touch is that gorgeous trench, you never no when it is going to rain in the spring. Burberry for me is the one and only for a trench coat, it is like an it-bag. every girl should have a Burberry trench.

CCH said...

oh my goodness, you are so adorable! thank goodness for SPRING, oh how i have missed wearing white SO much!! cute cute blog girly!!

CessOviedo said...

Those spadrilles are amazing, so glad they are in for SS, have tons of them so easy to walk in, and the bag totally makes a great "I'm hot" statement!

You look great...love your style ;)!
Follow you...

Sara said...

I really love everything about this look! I've yet to break out my white jeans but you have provided so much inspiration here that I might just have to get them out this weekend. I would never have thought to pair them with espadrilles or stripes, but now I'm going to try it for sure.

P.S.-I admire how you are always remixing things you already own. I sometimes wonder about bloggers who never seem to wear the same thing twice. Where do they keep it all?

Behind the Lashes said...

Love this outfit. I'm such a sucker for nautical colors and stripes.

NICOLE said...

Very cute and very nautical! My favorites are the shirt and bag. Great look for spring and summer.

Jill said...

Great combination!

Nadine said...

SO goood! Love the colours and the stripes and everything! By cosmic coincidence, I am wearing red-white-blue, stripes, a trench, and light-coloured footwear today. But your look is waaay gorgeouser.

drollgirl said...
