Spring in my step

I'm a sucker for Spring in Indiana. I know we are very far away from it, but I didn't want all my cute spring attire to go to the wayside. This floral dress is such a cute pattern, it reminds me of watercolor flower paintings. I love layering and a lot of elements to winter wear, but I truly love spring fashion. That's why it's important to me to find ways to incorporate these pieces into all four seasons. I paired this dress with my tried and true collared blouse, a gorgeous mint coat from Old Navy and of course, tights and booties and there you have it, a spring outfit "winterized"!

Lounging around

Sometimes it is so nice to wear a super comfy laid back look like today's. I spent yesterday afternoon with my mom in our post-Christmas haze. We finally got to see "Into the Woods" since it was sold out on Christmas Day! I think that it is definitely worth seeing, but in the end I didn't love it. I'm sorry to say it, but I like my fairy tales with happy endings. Call me traditional, but I like for Prince Charming to be a gentleman. Regardless, it's a beautifully made movie, so definitely worth the trip. I have been dressed up for so many Holiday events and family gatherings, I felt the need for my stretchy jeans, sneakers, and my soft light denim top. 

How do you dress down?

Friend or Faux?

I'm pulling out all the stops today with this F-A-B faux fur vest! I love pairing this vest with pretty much anything, but this striped midi dress just seemed perfect for the weather today. I love mixing and matching prints and textures. Horizontal stripes get a bad wrap, but I will say that I hesitate to wear this dress on it's own. If you have anything in your closet that doesn't feel stellar when it's on, it might just need the perfect accessory! This vest makes the tight stripes feel less 'revealing'. The nice thing about having a faux fur vest is that you will be 'pet' all the time! I've never worn this vest without being pet by at least one person. Nothing says style like "can I pet you?"

Pinspired

I was feeling really down about myself this morning, so what did I do...got up, put in some effort, and improved my mood! A cute outfit can do that for your spirit. It would definitely have been easier to throw on some leggings and my trusty Purdue sweatshirt and if I hadn't been feeling low this morning that would have been a perfectly fine thing to do. However, I needed a boost and with the magic of pinterest and a blow dryer I achieved it! I'm off to enjoy this beautiful day in Indiana!

Have a great Saturday

Living on the wild side...

Living life on the wild side with this gorgeous fur statement vest! I purchased this beaut a few years ago and have gotten so many compliments on it! Pieces like this are definitely not for all occasions, but when it's right it's sooo right.

What's your favorite statement piece?
