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.

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!

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!!

In need of heat

I am currently in the need of heat. That Indiana Spring that I'm always spouting off about is letting me down. These brisk temps and ridiculous wind is not making my heart happy. On a different note, I also need heat from an iron! Look at my skirt, yikes. Oh well, nothing fits anymore and I have to attempt to be professional at work, so what can a girl do. I love this combo and if the skirt didn't look like it came straight out of the bottom of my hamper, I'd be happier with it. Orange and Navy is one of those perfect color combos, some artsy person could explain this in depth, but I just love the way they look together! 

Enjoy your Thursday!

Living in Indulgence

Saturday was one of those totally indulgent (regret later) kind of days. I spent the day with my favorite and we had a delicious brunch at Delicia, they're basically our new Zest. I had the smoked salmon fritatta and ate it so quickly that I forget to snap a pic! Later we played pool at Bent Rail Brewery and to keep adding to the indulgence we went to Naked Tchopstix for our favorite appetizer and dinner at the Alley Cat Front Room. Phew, I'm exhausted and full just recapping that! Anyhow, my look for all these shenanigans was as follows. 

Rocking the rockstud

I love my job, but working in non-profit isn't well known for bringing in major dough. This is all fine with me until I laid eyes on those Valentino rockstud pumps that rocked (pun intended) the blogging and fashion world last year. These puppies were around $1,000!!! Yeeeaahhh...too rich for my blood. You can only imagine my delight at finding these BCBGeneration knock offs for a meer $80! I'm absolutely in love and now I can rock the studs with the best of them!

Woah..my eyes!

I'm obsessing over this neon bag I got from my recent LeTote! The pictures do not do it justice on how bright it is, in the words of my friend hannah, "whoa, it hurts my eyes" haha. Sometimes fashion is pain, right? I will probably hold this item back and pretend like my account won't be charged, healthy? 

Me: "Hi, my name is Abby and I'm a shopahaulic" 

Everyone: "Hi, Abby."
