A New Do

Well...as you can probably see, I chopped off my hair. I was so ready for a change and didn't even wince with that first snip! Sometimes a fresh new do is all you need to refresh your mood. I love the short bob that the ever wonderful Jess gave me! I'm excited to play with it and find new ways to style it, don't worry the half top-knot will appear soon. I couldn't have a hairstyle without the possibility of a top knot. Today's look is one of my favs. This floral dress is super cute and easy to wear for multiple events. The back has a keyhole pattern that's open, but for work I opted to pair the dress with this sleeveless collared blouse to add some style and coverage.

TBT: What I Wore

In honor of this not so lovely Thursday, let's hop in the time machine and gun it to 2014. June 18th to be specific. It's funny to be able to look back and see exactly what I wore on certain days. This jumpsuit has made many encore appearances since this post and will undoubtedly make more. You've got to love a nice casual jumpsuit on a hot summer day. Plus, I'm feeling this hair color, maybe this trip down memory lane will spark some changes in the present. 

What's a favorite past look of yours?

A Fancy Affair

It's ironic that today's look on the blog is this pink tulle skirt considering I took a ballet class yesterday. My co-workers and I each have to try a 'fitness' class that the other chooses. Up next...Ariel! You know, cirque de soleil style. I'm sure I'll be much less coordinated for that, but I'm definitely excited. Today's look is a bit silly, but I figured I've only got so many years left when I can wear a tulle skirt, so why not now!

Happy hump day!

Floral and Pleats if you Please

The past few weeks have been packed with work, school (for Aaron), and family. My brother jetted off to Washington to be a Wildland Firefighter, Aaron is taking his very important qualification exam, and I'm getting ready for our Convention in New Orleans! I'm excited for all the things ahead including putting more time into the blog. Thanks all for following along on my life and style journey!

Relaxin' all cool

The best way to enjoy a day off from work is to sit back and relax, so I've done just that. I have been binge watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and munching on some yummy snacks. The little bit that I went out, to get said snacks, I wore this super relaxed outfit. I got to wear my new high top chuck taylor's that I got for a steal on Poshmark! 

All in all such a great relaxing day off!

FriYAY!

I know you've seen this dress a few times now, but I just love it especially on a super hot day like today! I got to add a little flare to it with my new necklace from Le Tote. I finally put a little time into my look today with makeup and hair done. This seems to be a rare occurrence this days. I'm off to enjoy the day even with rain in the forecast my outlook is sunny!

Bloggers Gonna Blog

I had an absolutely excellent morning with the Indy Style Bloggers this Sunday! We ventured over to Rick's Boatyard Cafe and indulged in some delicious brunch, and of course a Mimosa for me. We had a beautiful spot on the deck overlooking the water, perfect for people watching. 

It's so nice to get together with fellow blogging babes and chat about surprisingly everything but blogging, though that makes its way into the conversation too! After missing my alarm and rushing, I threw on this super old romper, but it worked perfectly for the occasion and the weather!
