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?

A breath of fresh air...

It's a b-e-a-u-tiful day her in Indiana. The sun first warms your skin and a cool breeze fills your hair with refreshing smells of grass and blooming flowers. I've said it before, I'll say it again...Spring in Indiana is absolutely breathtaking. Aaron and I spent the day running errands and playing with Penny outside. I opted for a super comfortable new trend for spring....the Shirtdress! I found this beauty at The Toggery for $8, yes you read right, EIGHT dollars! This Michael Kors' "trash", to someone, became my absolute treasure! I sold some of my "trash" recently and made a pretty penny. When I go to the Toggery or any resale boutique, I search through these wonderful items and wonder who gave them away? Why? Do they miss them? It's so great to know that clothes I no longer love have new life, just like the buds of Spring, they bloom again!

Pinspired: Fur love

Today's Pinspired post is a simple chic look that's really set off by using a hoodie under a fur vest. This simple trick makes the look much more accessible for an every day look. This epic fur vest can sometimes feel a little "too much" for a casual dinner, but this look is perfect for just that! Topping it all off with a fluffy bun and there you have it, a fun, simple, casual, pinspired look.

Pinspired: Screen Sweatshirt

It' a snowy day here in Indy! To keep warm in this seemingly neverending winter, I wore my coziest sweatshirt. This sweatshirt still has that perfectly fuzzy new sweatshirt feel, it's something to be revered until it's been washed too many times. Anyone else know this feeling? The Pinspired look is so cute, I love that I can switch up the style of the sweatshirt, throw on some booties, and tights and still achieve this trendy look.  I am such a fan of the screen tee/sweatshirt, people have really started to glam up the screen tee and wear it for professional looks, going out, and generally fancy affairs. It's no longer the jeans and tee look, although that is still definitely a fun comfortable look! Thanks for stopping by on your Sunday, have fun out there you little snow bunnies!

Boston Terrier

Because I can't seem to leave a store without a sweater with a dog on it, I found this gem at Forever 21 and just had to have it. These little boston terriers are so freaking cute and since it's slightly cropped I can layer it easily to make different combinations. Today, I opted for my go to midi striped dress. I thought the patterns would go well together and it's a fun way to highlight my doggies. I paired my lovely louis to break up the black and white look. Well I'm off to enjoy this beautiful day!

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.
