Outfit Post: Peplum and Prints

I decided to get a little more dressed up than usual in order to break out my {new again} floral skirt (maybe you remember it from here). I lent this little lady to Kailtin and had forgotten about it until the other day when I busted it out of the box. I tried it with a few different tops but decided that this one gave it the ladylike look I wanted (I know everyone is probably over peplum but oh well).  Big time apologies on the mess of my hair (I’ve misplaced my primo straightener) but I just couldn’t help but share this outfit.

I’m keeping it short today cause I’ve got to get down to business but I hope you all are making it a good one!

Outfit Post: Sunny Days

First things first, my thoughts, prayers and more go out to everyone affected by yesterday’s events. I can’t seem to wrap my head around why these tragedies continue to happen. I don’t think we’ll every truly understand it but we can all do our little part to help with healing. If you’re interested in making a donation to The Red Cross or Salvation Army, both organization do wonderful jobs on the ground with disaster relief. It seems trivial to be putting together a post after what happened but I think focusing on positivity is one of the ways we heal from these types of events. That and remembering all the people we love and are thankful for. It’s a shame that it takes events like this to reach out to people but I was like a social media hound dog hunting down one of my high school friends in Boston. And Lo, I’m really glad you are okay.

To put a sunny spin on this morning, I wanted to share this look from one of the brisk days last week. I love those days when it’s sunny outside but the air is just a tad bit cool. I threw on this Old Navy sweater (which I totally copied and bought after I saw Grace from Stripes + Sequins wearing it) with a bright colored pair of jeans. Just the right amount of spring in my step.

Sweater: Old Navy (so cozy and not too warm. perfect for summer nights thrown on with shorts); Mint Denim (previously seen here): LOFT (On Sale – 40% off now – no code needed); Leopard Oxfords: Dolce Vita

 

Outfit Post: Floral Friday

First off, I am so happy it’s Friday. This week has been a lot of fun but it has been busy.

Last night, my mom came in town and treated us to an amazing dinner at 610 Magnolia (p.s. – if you’re a TV junkie like me and/or you watch Top Chef – it’s Edward Lee’s restaurant). It was delicious and one of the most fun culinary experiences ever. I felt like such a foodie (for a quick moment). If you want to see me geeking out meeting Chef Lee, you can check out a couple pics from the night on Instagram.

Moving on, I’m not usually a big flower kinda girl but when I saw these pants at Gap – I just knew I had to have them. Not sure what it was but I loved the print and color and immediately made them mine. Combined with a couple coupons, it was easy to jump on the floral bandwagon. I’m looking forward to pairing them with sandals and simple tank tops for summer but for I’m wearing them with simple basics that can be layered up or down depending on the weather.

I’m looking forward to a fun St. Patty’s day weekend with lots of green beer celebrations and basketball (aka my favorite things) with friends and family. What are you all up to this weekend?

p.s. – if you’re not sure about trying to pants look, Gap has a button-down, dress and shorts in this print too. I kinda love the shorts.

Outfit Post: Business Casual

This whole spring forward really made the weekend go by too fast. It may have just been an hour but it feels like way more.

Anyways, sorry I didn’t pop in with any required reading this weekend. I finally cashed in my Christmas present of tickets to the Kentucky vs. Florida game, so we spent the weekend in Lexington (thankfully watching the Cats win – made the gift that much better). Now it’s back to work.

It’s funny to look at these pictures from last week with snow on the ground since today it’s about 60 degrees out and pouring rain.

I wore this last week when I had a couple meetings but didn’t want to be too formal. Business on the bottom, casual (not quite party) on top. I’m usually wearing this shirt more casually but I like that with the darker wash it can be dressed up a little.  I also broke out the top knot since I was feeling a little lazy when getting ready but still wanted to look put together. And once again, I’m breaking out these Sole Society heels that are my new obsession. I’m just hunting for more outfits to wear them with.
Hope you’re starting your week off on a good note. Make it a good one!
