Spring Color Explosion

In honor of the blooming flowers and warm weather I opted for my work wear look to be filled with color! I wanted to wear these amazing BCBG shoes and basically paired everything else around it. I loved the idea of teal and hot pink, I feel like a superman ice cream cone. It's easier to rock some bold prints and colors with an overall neutral to tie it all together, so I opted for the black and cream base. Keep checking out the blog for updates on this week of wedding fun!!

River Island...decisions decisions!

I'm crushing on this cold shoulder top from River Island, so I decided to create a look for each style of the top. I thought it would help me decide which color to get, but alas, I'm more unsure than before! Each color top could be dressed up or down super easily and it looks so light and comfortable for these beautiful Spring days. What do you guys think?

Rainbows make the best Friday's

Happy Friday to all! I get all giddy in the morning with the prospect of Casual Friday. I finally get to wear my cozy jeans and feel a bit more relaxed for the day. Today was extra special because I got to see this beautiful rainbow. I hadn't seen one in so long that it really struck me how beautiful they are. I was surprisingly able to capture a picture of this beauty. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful day filled with beauty and color!

Lavender + Patterns = Spring Chic

Happy Thursday everyone! I'm so excited for this upcoming weekend and following couple of weekends. In my future (in order) is my brother's 30th bday, farm trip, Mia and Zack coming to town, Claire's wedding, a trip to Purdue, my dad's birthday, and Aaron and I's anniversary! Whew, it's going to be a jam packed few weeks, but fun filled for sure! I went for a Spring chic look today with pastels and patterns. I like how the pastels "go" with the color scheme on the skirt pattern. This look paired perfectly with my gold Betsey Johnson sandals, because a pop of metallic never heart anyone!

Work Wear Wednesday: Peplum Safari

Ah...work wear wenesday. I love to come up with new work looks. It's a delicate balance between style and practicality. Today's look is all about the blouse. This super cute (super old) leopard print peplum blouse is one of my favs! Last year I wrote a post about this piece and I had put it in my 'clothes to sell' pile, but I attempt to wear each item at least once and see if I'll change my mind. Long story short, this one snuck out of the pile and back into my closet. Sneaky little thing! I love pairing this top with neutral pants and shoes and a nice pop of jewels on top! Simply perfect for this beautiful hump day!

Enjoy your week everyone! #halfway

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Because sometimes you have to channel your inner Audrey. I am so excited for the weekend, this has been a long week. I love Saturdays for snuggling with my favorites, indulging in some yummy food, and even getting some errands done. Alright, so maybe it's not riveting, but it's my kind of day!

Popping collars

Ps. It's finally warm out! I love this sunny weather and the warm rays on my skin. I pulled out this favorite Spring dress! Chambray, denim, tensel whatever you want to call it, it's definitely on trend. That being said, this chambray dress was a must purchase, since it was from Forever 21 I obviously didn't break the bank either. I decided to go for a vintage look with the popped collar and a nice patterned scarf to make this look slightly fancy. What are you all going to do to soak up the sun this weekend?

Midi dress and Kilts

This dress is one of my favs and I purchased it long before the midi length came back on trend. I't so comfortable, flowy, and versatile. I can easily dress this up or down, like today's post. This Spring you'll see me in a lot of dresses. I think they're the perfect compliment to warmer weather. Even my brother's groomsmen admitted that they enjoyed the "flow" when they wore kilts for the wedding. Haha. Seeing Aaron in a kilt that day really did it for me and the rest is history.

Cheers to skirts and dresses!
