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!

Simplicity

Gotta love a truly simple chic look. I love how comfortable this outfit is, the simplicity of a chambray top and skinny jeans makes for a great weekend look. I had a wonderful weekend spending time with my love, my friends, and my family! Free time really doesn't get much better than that, right? I had a simply wonderful time.

How was your weekend??

Chambray vs. Tensel

My mom and I recently went shopping and I found this adorable chambray top, but to my surprise, it isn't chambray at all!! My wonderful seamstress mother schooled me on fabric by guessing that this shirt is actually Tensel...never heard of it? Neither had I. Apparently it's a different kind of "jean" textured fabric. It's heavier and softer at the same time. I figured as a fashion blogger it was my duty to enlighten you all with this new found knowledge! Anywho, this shirt is amazing and on point with this years trends. I loved pairing it with this paisley handkerchief style scarf and white dress skirt. This look was perfect for a beautiful day and inspired me to get out and be seen...well at the grocery store, but what can you do?

Aye aye Captain

I really pulled out the military inspiration today, between the camo and the military jacket, one might call my Private Benjamin! I wanted a comfy relaxed look to run some errands and be productive. These cozy camo pants are perfect for just that. I try not to get all dolled up for the grocery store, because after all, even grocery shopping cannot be improved by a good outfit. I truly don't like to wander the aisles of the grocery store and I dislike putting them all up afterwards even more, but it is nice to have an abundance of food, well for what seems like 2 days. TGIF!

The Geometry of Style

Well, anyone who knows me would laugh at me even mentioning math! I am so awful at math, but I can rock a geometric shape pattern like a champ! haha and so modest :)

 

I love this funky pattern and the fact that it is neutral makes it really easy to wear for many different occasions. Who knows, it might show up for a holiday look! This super cute Forever 21 dress is a great way to throw in an interesting element to a simple outfit. It has short cap sleeves, so since it's not warm out I paired it with a simple chambray blouse. I love using a cover up to add a little more style to the look.

 

I get to venture up to the old Alma Mater this weekend! Yay! Hopefully we will get that bucket, but in the end I just hope for a great game and a good time with my family!

 

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! I know I will!

Chambray chic...

Gotta love a good chambray shirt. It's the comfort of a cotton button up with the style and diversity of denim. I paired this top with my graduation dress. I snagged that beauty from yet again, American Eagle! I love mixing up a bunch of neutrals for a simple yet trendy look.

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?
