Closet Tours, Jenna's Closet

Fresh Influence ventured into Jenna's Closet and her friends help define "Jenna's Style."

spring fever

Here are a few reasons I'm so excited for spring to arrive:

SKIRTS


FLORALS


& STRIPES

I went through my closet, packed away the turtlenecks, houndstooth & cableknit sweaters.

As soon as I pulled out my bathing suits, springtime shorts & sandals, I went crazy and logged a bunch of outfits for this spring.

I'm so excited for the 70's influence this season. I need to get my hands on some avocado and coral shades.

Keeping a lookout for nice white tops to accent the coral lipstick I anticipate wearing in a few weeks.

Apparently the forecast says rain in the upcoming weeks, but I don't know if I can wait any longer.

Thank goodness for thigh high socks to cheat spring outfits before spring weather has arrived :)

Lastly, here is my attempt at the pink & green inspiration I posted previously:

walk the marsh

lace raglan, aa

floral circle skirt, thrifted

leather skinny belt, aa

truffle tights, aa

ankle socks, h&m

ankle boots, sway

vintage sunglasses, aa

i've been having a difficult time matching these tights to anything. the color is called "truffle" but they look rusty to me.

every time i wear them, i call my legs "truffula trunks," i think it's hilarious.

california winters never disappoint me. we get rain, then weeks of sunshine, then lots of rain, and then spring.

it's been really lovely weather, up in the 70's and 80's in some parts of the bay.

i feel sorry for you suckers stuck in buckets of snow- how do you function?

Floral with everything

Having a hard time finding a good photo spot in my new place.

Find this denim floral skirt at a savers. Haven't worn a plain tee shirt in a while, so it was nice to slip into one.

I find myself getting a little over the top with my outfits, so when I have something as outrageous as a floral denim mini-skirt, I forced myself to pair it with something simple. I got a little matchy- there's no stopping me :)

Maybe could have used some baby pink lipstick...

Stay cool!

Fancy French Cologne

I have been waiting and waiting for Fancy French Cologne to come out with their online shopping site, and they have!

Luckily I got a sneek preview and wanted to share with you the adorable items coming soon to FancyFrenchCologne.com

Why am I suddenly interested in online shopping again, you ask?

Haven't I always just looked at F21 and OU online, but really only shopped at American Apparel because I work there? Wrong.

Fancy French Cologne is owned by two SF girlies that were in a bitchin' band, Finest Dearest.

When I heard they were coming out with a clothing line, I was like "THESE GIRLS RULE!"

Let me give you a peep of what I already have saved in my Wishlist

The Salt + Pepper Blazer has super cute details, nice urban looking sleeves, but it totally still tailored-

hence urban chic!

A Sweater Blazer, why haven't I seen this before? Two staple items in my closet combined in one item!

No more pairing cardigans under Blazers to get the comfort and the structure. This is all-in-one! Gah, love!

Dark Olive Messenger Bag- aren't we always looking for the perfect bag?

But wait- this one is made of 100% man made materials. Even better!

And now, if I were to dress in all black (God forbid!)

I could still have a floral element with this adorable Ashley Clutch.

You know I don't go anywhere without some floral, pastel or grandma-esque item. Problem solved.

So at this point you're all like, "uhh... Erin, why haven't you mentioned anything about the girl in these pictures?"

Silly me! My sister, Nicole is one of the models on the website. Isn't she cute?

Anyyyway

you can meet us both at Fancy French Cologne's Launch Party on September 23rd.

RSVP on Facebook! Oh and while you're on Facebook, don't forget to "like" Fresh Influence.

Miss you guys, more soon!

Now and then

thrifted floral polyester button up; aa jacket, shorts; keds

Wore this to move some boxes into my new place. Just moved to Noe Valley in San Francisco :)

This outfit was kind of inspired by the costumes in Now and Then (1995)

Slurpees and shorts

I have been desperate for summer these past few weeks with all the dreary rain and overcast mornings. Finally this week has been 65 degrees or higher. I even caught myself breaking a sweat while driving today and thought it must be time for-- SLURPEES! I can't believe I paid two dollars for ice and syrup in a cup but I guess once I quenched my thirst it was worth it.




AA high-waisted shorts; thrifted cropped blazer and shoes; f21 blouse; betsey sunglasses

SLURPEE TONGUE!
I was desperately looking for some outside activity today and someone to enjoy it with. I got frustrated after my fifth call concluded with another "I have work soon" (and silly me, I'm the workaholic) so I took it upon myself to lay in the sun in my backyard and read. I got exhausted from the heat after an hour- so now here I am.

I'm not going to lie, I was reluctant to bare my winter legs so soon in the season, but in the end it wasn't too painful. I found myself running my fingers along my thigh just to feel the soft skin again- yay for continuing to moisturize during the winter!

Happy to be back in the blogosphere.
Thanks to all the loyal followers that have continued to tune in while I so ashamedly neglected you.
