May Day Florals

2 May posted by

Did you have a lovely May Day full of flowers and baskets of petals and all that? Oh, you didn’t? Yeah… me neither. I actually kind of forgot about May Day until it was over.

Here are some May Day florals nonetheless. This skirt was a total clearance find at Kohl’s and I’m pretty sure the cashier gave me the “really, you’re buying this ugly thing?” look as I checked out. And maybe Bill too.

But I actually sort of feel like it’s a ‘so ugly it’s cute’ kind of piece. Do you have any of those hanging around your closet?

Happy Birthday to Me!

30 Jan posted by

I recently celebrated another birthday and while I’m starting to feel like this whole getting old thing is for the birds, I had a great time celebrating with close friends. We did dinner and drinks in my neighborhood and I couldn’t have asked for a better night.

The past few years I’ve made it a tradition to spend the day of my birthday shopping with leftover Christmas and new birthday money. I finally made it to my local Kohl’s (I thought the closest one was about an hour away but found one only 20 minutes from my apartment) and did some serious damage!

This dress and the boots were both birthday shop-o-rama purchases. While I definitely don’t think this was the best angle for this shot (I’m still training him (: ), I may be obsessed with this dress. I got it super cheap given that it’s definitely a summer dress, but I paired it with my warmest leggings and a pair of riding boots to stay warm. I can’t wait to find lots of ways to wear it as the weather warms up.

Streamlining my outfit

17 Aug posted by

I didn’t notice as much until I looked at this photo but it’s amazing how rarely my outfits feature simple, straight lines. I’m a girl who loves circle skirts and ruffles so a simple cut on a skirt is such a change for me!

Do you find yourself always wearing one cut over another?

Color splash

9 Aug posted by

I often find myself falling into a rut with colors. Black is so easy to wear, looks great and can be considered a little more dressy when you need it. However, I’m trying to mix it up more (it is summer after all!) and add splashes of color here and there.

This skirt literally brings in a ‘splash’ of color and adds something to an otherwise eh outfit.

How do you push yourself to add color to your wardrobe?

Ready for summer

23 May posted by

I can’t describe how excited I am that it’s finally starting to look like summer around here! While we still get a rainy day or two, the temp has been in the 70s and 80s and that’s good enough for me!

Hope you’re getting some good weather where you are!
