The weather in NYC today is on a total rollercoaster. Dressing for 60 degrees and/or rain makes things a bit complicated, especially when all you want to have is spring on the brain. I attempted to tackle the situation by wearing a dress I had earmarked for a flippy spring day and pairing it with the ever-versatile DKNY Cozy. I prepared for the rain by wearing my trusty over the knee boots and kept the look kicky with a repurposed red belt. While I've mostly been a bit on the warm side today (and not to mention that the rain didn't appear, yet), I'm quite happy with my look. How do you prepare for days when the weather can't make up it's mind?

I had the pleasure to prepare my hair against any of the weather's indecision with TRESemme's new Climate Control shampoo, conditioner and styling products. More on that soon ;).

Emily Elizabeth Jewelry Punk Love Stud Earrings

$48.00 at Max & Chloe

Call me crazy, but I've always been inspired by ladies who are brave enough to wear mismatched earrings. When it works - it really works and there's no formula for recreating the look. It's one of those mystical, magical style intersections that just happens.

When I discovered Emily Elizabeth's Punk Love mismatched stud earrings, I was absolutely elated. Designer Emily Elizabeth Kolins makes it effortless to wear mismatched earrings. I'm absolutely head over heels for these earrings. They feel like my special style secret every time I wear them.

While I still haven't been brave enough to try to mismatch earrings from within my own collection, the Punk Love studs have definitely filled this Gemini-esq style void (for now).

Have you ever worn mismatched earrings? I'd love to hear how you braved this style challenge!
