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!!

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!

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."

Sunday Funday

I had such an exceptional weekend filled with fun, food, family, and friends. All the F's anyone really needs, right? Aaron and I got to spend Sunday morning with our good friends who just got engaged!! I'm so happy for them, they are the world's sweetest couple and deserve a lifetime of happiness. We indulged in some Spanish-American Brunch at a new-ish joint called Delicia. I had the huevos benedicto, with a chipotle hollandaise!! Yum! It was so delicious!! This look was the perfect combo to feel comfortable and casual for this beautiful Spring day. I love the color of this light infinity scarf and thought it would be the only color I needed for the day and paired with neutrals! 

Happy Monday everyone,

Culottes? I think yes!

Lilac, lavender, light ass purple...whatever you want to call it, this is my new favorite color for Spring. I found this beautiful top at Von Maur on sale and I was instantly sold! I also found these amazing culottes for just $19!! The two pieces together pair perfectly and make for a great look for a night out on the town. I had to throw on a statement piece, since the two items are pretty neutral and with that 'top off' the outfit was set. This pastel trend is making my heart melt and my spirits rise up to the trend-casion. Stay posted, because a pastel pink will eventually make it to the blog too!

p.s. remember that amazing clutch I got in a recent Le Tote?? My amazing bf noticed my extreme sadness to send it back and ended up finding it and giving it to me for my birthday!

Work Wear Wednesday: Highlighter Yellow

Yay for Wednesdays! I get a recharge on Wednesdays knowing that it's the middle of the week and there's only fun ahead. I'm having a blast coming up with some unique and fun looks for the Work Wear Wednesday and this beautiful weather doesn't hurt. I love this look for a couple different reasons. I love the funky color and pattern of the skirt, the pairing of yellow and the peach in the necklace, and lastly the style of sleeve on this shirt. This almost cap sleeve is trending right now and I just love it! It's very reminiscent of 70's style, which is just fine with me, because I love that era. I'd venture say that seventie's fashion is probably the most dominant era of inspiration for this years trends. What do you think?

Walk of shame...

I'm sure the title intrigued you...I love this uber comfy shirt/dress from Gap. It reminds me of a baggy tee-shirt one might steal to sulk home on the ever classy walk of shame. In reality, it's really just a fun baggy shirt dress, but hey nothing wrong with a funny story to go along. It's hard to pair super casual items like this and still have a stylish look, so I thought this nice lightweight scarf would pair well and not take too much attention from the main element. There's truly no better shoe to go with a super cozy outfit like this than a classic chuck taylor! All in all, I love this easy breezy look and I'm thankful I'm wearing it with full intention instead of my previous scenario...
