River Island...decisions decisions!

I'm crushing on this cold shoulder top from River Island, so I decided to create a look for each style of the top. I thought it would help me decide which color to get, but alas, I'm more unsure than before! Each color top could be dressed up or down super easily and it looks so light and comfortable for these beautiful Spring days. What do you guys think?

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!

White petals and rose accents

I got to spend some quality time with my mom yesterday at our two favorite places...On the Border and the mall! Well, actually we opted to be near the mall at Barnes and Noble, because we realized we'd lose our freaking minds at the mall this time of year. I am closing in on all my Christmas gifts for everyone, which is a real improvement since the Check incident of 2013. I love giving gifts and I find myself getting so excited when I come up with a great idea for someone! I like to get gifts that are part practical and part sentimental. The truly 'gifted' (hah) gift giver in our family is my brother. He has an unmatched talent for finding these obscure, yet perfect gifts for all different types of people. It's really quite annoying. Haha. 

What's your gifting style?

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.

On Wednesdays we wear pink...rainboots!

Inspired by the rainy day and Mean Girls I decided to bring the pink Hunters out! I love these boots, they are great to have on a rainy day and still stay stylish. Women really have a knack for combining style with utility! Rain boots aren't particularly the cutest, but it beats the hell out of a layer of water on your jeans or water stains on your suede boots!

This striped top was a sale pick from the rare and small sale stack at Nordstrom's! I love the baby doll style and the collar necklace really adds some drama.

What's your favorite way to jazz up your rain boots? Leave a comment or pic! I'd love to hear some ideas. Also, check out tomorrow's post for a completely different look with the same boots!
