This bag makes me so happy. The color pops with anything I wear and it suddenly becomes the star of the show. I swear I could be wearing sweatpants and carrying this bag and people would stop me on the street to compliment my outfit.
Get one. Seriously.

What handbag are you carrying these days?
Have you seen mint everywhere you look?
I certainly have! And while I’m loving the color, I’ve been nervous to buy too many pieces (like jeans) because as we all know, colors can be something that’s in today and out tomorrow.
That was until I saw this gem of a top at TJ Maxx for only $11!!! The flowiness (is that even a word?) was awesome and the buttons to the top were even better. I knew I had to have it! So here’s my first foray into mint. Thoughts?

You probably have noticed that I’m a bit of a girly girl. Believe it or not, I wasn’t always this into heels and dresses.
As a kid, I was the ultimate tomboy. I lived on a farm until I was ten and I took full advantage! I loved playing in the creek, getting dirty and, even more, getting into trouble. I actually once had a cowboy-themed birthday party full of Pin the Gun on the Sheriff and old Westerns.
Even through all of that, I’ve always had a touch of girl in me. When special holidays came around, I couldn’t wait to pick out a new dress and shoes and get my hair curled. Eventually, that side of me won out. I still like hiking and getting dirty every now and then, but I definitely prefer dressing up any day.
Top knots and ruffles are definitely one way I’ve been showing off my girly side lately. The combination pretty much screams, “I’m a girl and I’m dang proud of it!”

Are you rocking a top knot this summer? How do you show off your girly side?
I was reading in Lucky Mag the other day about how the idea of matching your accessories is coming back. While they were mostly talking about color, I love the idea of matching prints, fabrics (think of patent and patent!) or something else.
I decided to give it a try with matching my bag to my shoes. I decided to make them stand out by giving them a basic backdrop.
What do you think? Is matching accessories back in or are you more of an eclectic dresser (like me!)?

I’ve been wanting to wear these leggings every day lately. They’re so comfortable, yet with a dress like this I actually look put together! Success!

Now that we have sun and warm weather, I’ve been bringing out my warm weather items. While I’m definitely a skirt kind of girl, I love these bermudas for their comfort!
