Lavender + Patterns = Spring Chic

Happy Thursday everyone! I'm so excited for this upcoming weekend and following couple of weekends. In my future (in order) is my brother's 30th bday, farm trip, Mia and Zack coming to town, Claire's wedding, a trip to Purdue, my dad's birthday, and Aaron and I's anniversary! Whew, it's going to be a jam packed few weeks, but fun filled for sure! I went for a Spring chic look today with pastels and patterns. I like how the pastels "go" with the color scheme on the skirt pattern. This look paired perfectly with my gold Betsey Johnson sandals, because a pop of metallic never heart anyone!

Style runs in the workplace..

Style is the name of the game at my job. The salon is chock full of little fashionistas, so for today, a little spotlight on our manager Erika! She was rocking too cute of an outfit to not make an appearance on the blog. I'm obsessing over her vintage style coat for fall. She found this gem at Profyle Boutique in Indianapolis, by the new Ruth's Chris. One cannot only own a fabulous coat if not to pair it with an equally fabulous outfit.

The fall is all about the boots and booties. I like Erika's use of tights to tie a spring or summer piece into a fall look. Fashion and practicality can be each other's best friends (and sometimes enemies). What is your favorite way to make a seasonal item perfect for all year round?

Happy Fall y'all, it's getting cold out there.

Pattern and lace

It's no secret that I have been slacking on my blog! I will try my best to be posting every day. I hope you all have been liking it so far and I want to start doing some fun series. Suggestions welcome!

Today I was at a loss as to what to wear. It was a high of 92 today, but I had to cover the bruises from tubing this weekend. I opted for this lace overlay top because the sleeves are very flowy and allowed me to stay cool! I love this patterned skirt! This was an Old Navy purchase circa 2006! Oldie but a goodie I suppose! Hope you have a fantastic week and thanks for following!

I Love Nerds!

I can't get enough of these beautiful days! Indiana weather can be brutal, but it can bear the most incredible spring and fall days.

Today, I opted for a pattern mix with a fun print and screen tee. I have had this top since high school and I still love it so much. The patterned skirt is a great Savvy find from last year. I love the pairing because it is fun, different, and screams Spring!

The cherry on top of this outfit are my chucks! I am totally a comfort girl. Most of the fashion bloggers I follow wear heels every day and when I started this blog I really wanted to be that girl, but alas, I love flats and they can still be very fashionable. I opted for the chucks for an overall nerdy chic look!

What's your favorite screen tee look? It's so versatile, check out the blog on Thursday to see different looks with a screen tee!
