Rainbows make the best Friday's

Happy Friday to all! I get all giddy in the morning with the prospect of Casual Friday. I finally get to wear my cozy jeans and feel a bit more relaxed for the day. Today was extra special because I got to see this beautiful rainbow. I hadn't seen one in so long that it really struck me how beautiful they are. I was surprisingly able to capture a picture of this beauty. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful day filled with beauty and color!

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!

Mint-condition

Sorry for the late post! I had an unbelievable weekend celebrating the Bride to be! We went to a cubs game then dinner and bars in Chicago. Everything was just perfect! Today's look is a simple cute work look. I found this adorable mint overlay top at Loft, it has been a great piece for layering! I wore it recently with a pretty coral tank underneath, it was a great color contrast. Currently none of my work pants fit, so I opted for my new culottes! These babies are great for work and fun, the length is perfect and they fit perfectly!

Date Night/Blog-versary

One year ago today...I embarked on this blogging journey and haven't looked back since! It has been so amazing to receive so much love from friends, family, and wonderful strangers! I now have a growing fashion blog, an Indy Style Blogger group, and a community of fellow bloggers to emulate. Thank you to everyone for your support and for stopping by my little adventure!

Anywho, date night...

Aaron and I attempt to have one wonderful night devoted to each other; because work, family, friends, and random stresses take precedence during the week. Friday night we went out to Drakes and enjoyed some delicious fare paired with even more delicious beer! Afterwards, we headed to Cooper's Hawk to pick up our monthly wine and of course partake in their super fun and yummy wine tastings. It's so nice when we get to spend quality time together and indulge in both unhealthy and non-budget friendly activities. We try to stay healthy and on budget 5-6 days a week, so it's important to us to allow ourselves some fun! 

My look for the evening was this freaking adorable top I snagged at Nordstrom, in their Savvy department. It is slightly cropped, so I figured these high waisted jeans would be a great pairing. I don't usually wear heels, but if not on date night, when? I love these bootie/sandal/pumps from Shoedazzle! I put links to super cute similar options below. Topping off any look with a clutch is perfect for a chic night out on the town!

What's your date night like?

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?

Will it ever be warm?

The forecast for this Saturday (my B-day) is a high of 38...come on mother nature throw me a bone! The pics for today's look may look like it's getting warmer in Indy, but it's a crock! The temps are hovering in the 30's and I'm over it. In honor of my b-day I request a rise in temperature of 25 degrees. We'll see if I'm being heard on this request, but it should be a fun weekend nonetheless! 

Have a great Thursday!
