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.

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!

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!

Relaxed and casual

As May keeps cruising along this weather just keeps getting better! Some may prefer cold, but not I. These warm rays of sun are bringing life to my closet! My favorite clothes are my Spring and Summer ensembles. Tanks, dresses, sandals...oh my! This look was the perfect way to spend the day relaxing and drinking Coors Lights. There really is something special about those first few weekends of beautiful weather, when we all come out of our caves and celebrate the day!

Cowgirl up

I love pairing this simple small scarf with Spring outfits. The scarf looks like those old westerns. I found these super cute aviators at Old Navy, for 40% off! Gotta love a good deal, right? One might think I ransacked the place, "This is a stick-up!" This look was perfect for a day of running errands and enjoying this beautiful Spring day!

Kate Bosworth is perfection in this simple chic look. I love that she is mixing a lot of elements from clog style booties all the way up to her aviators. This monochromatic beauty is an excellent look to emulate. I've gathered some fierce versions of these items that can help you "get the look" from splurge to mega steal! Check it out, and maybe soon I'll give this look a shot too!
