70's inspired!

I first became obsessed with this jumpsuit when Mia visited. I ended up hunting it down! This was a more difficult process than I first anticipated. Every now and then something comes along that's worth the extra effort! I ended up having to special order it through customer service at Nordstrom! This is one allusive jumpsuit, but so worth it. Considering the jumpsuit was a 70's staple paired with these adorable (on sale) clogs and gold accessories it's one 70's inspired look!

Quickie post today as I'm on my way to the Peck Farm! Let the festivities begin! Have a great weekend. 

Ps. I'm using the Blogger app (which is terrible) so I'm sorry if this post looks all weird! 

Dressing down...

I love taking dressy pieces and dressing them down! This Lush dress is so easy to dress up or down and today I opted for a funky neutral look. I love the fedora for a statement piece and it's a great way to make an outfit look more casual. Well, for an uninteresting day so goes an uninteresting post. Hope you like the outfit!

Let it be...

While Penny and I take refuge in the basement due to a tornado warning, I decided what better to do than...blog! My nonchalant attitude can be attributed to the fact that the storm has almost passed. I was not all this chipper 30 minutes ago. I blame my brother for my torrential fear of tornadoes, but I suppose fear instills a quick to action mentality, so that's good. 

Now, the reason you visited this blog (other than being my friend and/or family member indulging this endeavor, thanks) the outfit! Today I opted for a simple comfy look with this beyond adorable Beatles sweatshirt! This was one of those finds at Forever 21 where the heavens opened up and a hallelujah chorus rang in my ear! Alright, a little dramatic, but if you've ever shopped there you know this moment and it's what keeps you going back. It is when one incredible item reveals itself among the sea of discount clothing, as if it was just for you. Right size, right price, and it's all yours for the taking. Shopping rant thus ended. I paired this sweater with simple cotton pants and my favorite embellished loafers. Please bear with my hair, just not my day for the unruly mane.

I have had such a perfect weekend! What a way to officially kick off the Summer. I spent Saturday all over the city. I got to go see Jersey Boys with my mom and it was excellent! It did not compare to the musical, but it was still a great movie!

I got to celebrate the graduation of my friend Hannah at her beautiful home with great friends. I am so excited for her and her amazing future as a special education teacher. 

Aaron and I made our monthly visit to Cooper's Hawk and had a delicious wine tasting followed by a few rolls of sushi at Naked Tchopstix. All in all, this was a fantastic weekend and today will top that off with a cookout for my grandpa. Happy summer everyone, looks like it'll be a good one.

Long hair don't care...

I love my new ombre look (thanks Linds!) and now a new development is that my blonde extensions look great with it! I love long hair and as I am trying to achieve that natural thing, extensions are necessary as of now.

It's another hot, hot, hot day in Indiana! I love this free people top, because it is super flowy and fun, which is a bonus in this stifling heat! I paired it with some light jeans so there was some defined shaping counteracting the poof of the shirt.

My mom and I are going to see Jersey Boys! I am so excited! Jersey Boys is my favorite musical I've ever seen, so I am excited to see if it can be improved upon in film (probably not), but it'll definitely be entertaining!

Fashion Staple: Trench Coat

Another week, another fashion staple! One of my favorites is the trench coat, because not only is it a fashion staple it is also a great statement piece (series idea...) and can be worn so many different ways. As much as I'd love to indulge in a beautiful Burberry trench, I posted a much more modest one from H&M. What's your favorite fashion staple?

90 degrees won't stop me!

Every year I am surprised how in just a few short months we can go from below freezing temps to 90 degree weather! If you've ever heard anything about Indy, it's probably along the lines of corn, racing, the colts, and the seasons. I do love having all four seasons and they are all beautiful in their own way, but it can take a toll on your wardrobe! I try, but there is only so much cuteness you can pack in an outfit during 90 degree weather. If I didn't have a love of queso I would just walk around in a bikini all summer, but alas queso (amoung other things) has my heart. Stay cool out there!

Chambray Chic...

I wanted to do a simple look for this beautiful spring day. Aaron and I went shopping for dress pants...not fun! I didn't know there was a kind of shopping I wouldn't like, but in fact menswear shopping is extremely boring. 

I love this chambray dress I got on sale at Forever 21! I love mixing different neutrals for a 70's inspired look. What's your favorite decade of fashion?
