Who wants to go to the Spring Carnival?? Isn't this just the perfect outfit for spending the day having fun? I started with the shirt and immediately thought a pencil skirt would accent it perfectly. I added a little whimsey with the mustache necklace and cute yellow wedges.

I've long been inspired by the beautiful colors used in the Indian culture. The jewelry in this outfit hopefully does a nice job of replicating the colors of such a wonderful group of people. Also, how cute is this top? I feel like it's the type of shirt I'd buy and wear for 2 weeks straight.

The chrysanthemum ring is beyond expensive, but I love the style. Forevermore Creations offers a more whimsy, $12, alternative shown here in, none other than, pantone!
