Doily chic

You gotta love when an item in your closet reminds you of a doily, that must be fashion! This super cute long line cardigan is from Forever 21 and perfectly enough, it can be used as a table runner in a pinch! This entire outfit is made up of pieces I often want to wear, but find difficult to style. This cardigan is super cute, but can be difficult to pair. My tom's wedges are the same, partially because they make my feet look extra small and the color, although neutral, is not my typical shoe color. I think everyone has something in their closet they love, but don't wear because it's hard to be inspired! 

Get inspired everyone and wear that great piece or two!

Rocking to the BEAT

Yes, this is another Beatles shirt. I love the Beatles and screen tees so why not marry the two! I love this bowler hat from Urban Outfitters and it feels very fitting or a Beatles inspired look. Hats are one of those fashion accessories that are hard to wear, at least for me, but I still try. I always wonder if I look "too much" with a hat, but in the end, who cares? I love accessories and making a simple outfit a little more daring and hats are great for that. My skinnies and Tom's wedges make this look simple, monochromatic, and super comfy. Hope you like it!

Sunny Days

I got the chance to break out a bright sundress and straw hat yesterday afternoon! It was cloudy most of the morning, but I was very excited to get a glimmer of sun for this cute outfit!

I got the dress from H&M a while back and it didn't fit. I'm not quite where I want to be yet, but little victory of the season is that the dress fits! I loved pairing it with the adorable straw hat from Vera Bradley of all places. The coral in the scarf on the hat is exactly the same as the dress, but the other colors break up the monochromatic feel of the dress. This outfit screams summer and although it's only 55 degreed this afternoon, I will keep hoping and dressing for warmer weather!

Mids and Toms

Per usual Indiana weather, today was pretty chilly. I am so attached to wearing Spring clothes though! I paired this super comfy and cute midi dress with an oversized knit sweater to cover up for the windy day. I love this dress and it's been a nice staple for me far before the midi length was as popular as it is now.

First of all, can I get a hallelujah for longer lengths becoming popular! Don't get me wrong I like mini skirts and dresses as much as the next gal, but it is so refreshing to have it be stylish to wear something other than that. The midi length is so classy and appropriate for all different occasions.

Second of all, I love Toms! Their canvas shoes are adorable and it's always nice to know your purchase goes toward such a great cause. I saw Blake Mycoskie speak at Purdue once and his story was so inspiring. He's only 37 and look at all he's done and what he's created. I think the fashion industry is aiming at a much higher purpose these days and that is fantastic!
