My favorite color for Spring 2021: Sage Green

It's hard to believe that spring is finally here. I feel like this past winter has been a long one and I'm so happy to finally have some warm weather here in the Carolinas. Now that the vaccines are rolling out it's starting to look like we may actually get to socialize a bit during the second half of the year! Christian and I actually got our second dose of the COVID vaccine yesterday and I couldn't be more excited. 

With the possibility of being able to safely go out to eat at restaurants or even meet up with friends and family on the horizon, I can't help but get excited for the opportunity to get dressed up for an occasion other than being in front of a video camera or getting some bread from the grocery store.

One trend/color you can catch me sporting this season is sage green. I have been seeing this color pop up quite a bit over the past couple of months and I can't help but be drawn to it. Like most people, I love pastels for spring, but green has never been a color I gravitated towards. There is something so soothing and comforting about the color sage green that I think is why I'm so drawn to it this season. This color is the perfect pop to any outfit but still neutral enough where you can still be paired with bolder shades if you want. 

This smock peplum top was the first sage green piece added to my closet and it certainly won't be my last. Not going to lie, this piece is a bit out of my comfort zone with the smock detailing at the bust and the squared neckline. Highlighting my shoulders is something I tend to avoid, but the fun puffed sleeves on this top were enough to convince me to try it out - and I'm so glad I did! I paired this top with my favorite light wash skinny jeans and some nude heels making it the perfect outfit to grab some brunch, explore the city or even enjoy a picnic in the park.

Floral Romper

 Romper: Forever 21 (old, similar here) || Cardigan: Old Navy (similar) || Flats: Target (similar) || Purse: Michael Kors || Watch: Michael Kors (all gold version here)

Happy Friday friends!

I hope all of you had a fantastic week! I started summer classes this week and it's weird trying to get in the school mind set when everyone around me is on summer break. Thankfully my class is only a month long so hopefully I'll make it through!

Lately I have been on a no pants / jeans binge. I have been living in skirts, dresses, rompers, flowey shorts, anything besides denim. I mean, who has time to be uncomfortable? Rompers are awesome to throw on days where you want to wear a dress, but it's too windy and you don't want to have a Marilyn moment (which happens way too often for me). Believe it or not, for a while I hated rompers and didn't understand the hype. It was about a year or two after they became popular is when I started getting into them!

I picked up this little romper a couple years ago and love how I can take it from day to night. During the day I just throw on a white cardigan like I had styled here and some flats but to make it more night time appropriate I'd either take off the cardigan and throw on some fun wedges or add a leather jacket.

What do you guys think of rompers? Do you love them or are they just not for you? Let me know in the comments down below! I hope all of you have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend! (:

Rain, rain, come my way??

 Dress: Marshall's (similar here) || Rain boots: Hunters (ON SALE!) || Necklace: Red Dress Boutique (old, similar here) || Watch: Michael Kors (similar in all gold)

Happy Wednesday Friends!

So one of my biggest pet peeves is when my feet / shoes get wet when it's raining out. I mean, let's be honest, is there anyone who actually enjoys walking around all day with soggy feet? I hate the feeling of soggy shoes so much there has been multiple times where I have debated not going to class when it's raining out just so my feet won't get gross (#sorrymom). You'd think the logical solution for this problem would to get some rain boots, but for some reason I just never really gotten around to splurging on a good pair... until now!

I have been eyeing these beauties for the longest time and they finally went on sale a few months back!! I know everyone hypes over Hunter boots, but after receiving my own pair I can totally see why! Immediately you can tell they are super high quality and will last you a while. Also, can we just talk about how fun this pink color is? No joke, ever since I got these Hunters I have been stalking the weather forecast for a chance of rain so I can have an excuse to break these beauties out. Ironically, since I bought these every time I wear them out the rain ends up stopping.

I have been having fun finding new outfits to wear my Hunters with and my favorite outfit as of late is just simply pairing it with a striped t-shirt dress. I scored this darling t-shirt dress at Marshalls a few weeks ago and I'm not kidding when I say I never want to take it off. IT'S SO COMFORTABLE! Unfortunately I couldn't find the exact dress online, but I did link one super similar for you all down below!

How do you style your rain boots? I'd love to know and get some inspiration from you all!  I hope all of you are having a wonderful week so far! (:

Florals for Spring?

 Top: Forever 21 || Skirt: Forever 21 || Flats: Target (similar) || Watch: Michael Kors (similar) || Unicorn Bracelet: Alex and Ani || Chain Bracelet: J.Crew || Purse: Michael Kors

Happy Wednesday friends!

We all know that florals for spring isn't anything new, but we all should expect by now that I'm giving up on florals anytime soon. I mentioned in my Work The Shirt blog post that floral print and cobalt blue are a few of the trends that are hot this season and luckily for me those I have plenty of those pieces in my wardrobe!

I had picked up this mirrored floral top last year while I was shopping for my birthday and am still in love with it! To bring out the blue in the top I paired it with my cobalt blue skater skirt (Which btw, bad idea to wear on a windy day. So many Marliyn Moments during my walk to class when I wore this outfit!). As for accessories I finished the look off with my every day watch, J.Crew chain bracelet and the newest addition to my arm candy collection, my unicorn Alex and Ani bracelet! This has to be the cutest bracelet ever and special s/o to Mr. Camera man for gifting it to me for my birthday!

Right now I am currently back in my hometown visiting family before I start summer classes. As much as I love Charlotte and always tell people how I have no plans to move back home after college, I do have to admit that I love how beautiful it is here. My hometown is pretty much the opposite of Charlotte. I live in a town full of beautiful mountains and a population of 1,000 (no joke). Hopefully I’ll be able to get some pretty outfit shots while I’m down here and you guys can really see how beautiful the mountains are here.  I hope you all are having a wonderful week so far and I’ll be back soon with another post!

Spring Wedding Dress Ideas

 Dress: Lilly Pulitzer // Monogram Clutch: Marley Lilly // Wedges: Target (similar) //  Watch: Michael Kors (similar) // Bracelet: Alex and Ani // Chain Bracelet: J. Crew Factory

Happy Friday everyone!
Ah, wedding season. The time where love birds come together to become one and an opportunity for their guests to dress up and stuff their faces with wedding cake. I just love how weddings can bring people together and it's a chance for you to see family/friends that you may have not seen for a while. I actually have my cousin's wedding that I am going to tomorrow! 
Today I am sharing with you all a potential wedding guest dress. While I was out shopping for my 21st birthday dress at Marshall's I came across this gorgeous Lilly Pulitzer dress and had to pick it up. Who knew that Marshall's sold Lilly?! I was even more excited at the fact that it even fit me and it was the only one in the store! I managed to pick up this beauty for about $150 less than retail along with my 21st birthday dress (you can check it out here)!  
There are so many things that I love about this dress. First, the aqua blue is just gorgeous and the length of it is perfect for my height. Also, I love the high neckline which keeps it modest and perfect for spring/summer weddings.
I have linked some of my favorite dresses below that I think would be perfect for any spring/summer wedding that you are attending this season. Let me know if you have any weddings that you are attending this season and where your favorite place to pick up dresses in the comments down below! I hope you all have a fun and safe weekend!

Floral Obsesion

Top: American Eagle (similar) // Shorts: Pac Sun (super old) // Necklace: Bauble Bar (similar) // Flats: Target (similar) // Purse: Kate Spade (similar)// Watch: Michael Kors (similar)

Happy Monday friends!

If you have been following me for a while now, then it’s no surprise to you that I love floral print! Actually, I just love flowers in general. They are just so feminine, pretty, and they smell good. How could you not like them?

Today I’m sharing how I style a pair of my favorite floral shorts. This outfit is perfect for those spring days where it’s warm enough to wear shorts, but there is a slight wind. The colors in these shorts are gorgeous and I wanted to especially bring out the orchard / purple color in them by pairing my floral shorts with an orchard / purple colored top. To accessorized I paired the look with my Bauble Bar tassel necklace and my trusty watch.

Unfortunately since I got these shorts a few years ago I couldn’t find the exact ones online and I couldn’t find any that were similar. I did however link some of my favorite floral shorts down below for you all so be sure to check those out!

I hope all of you have a wonderful day!

Spring Bucket List

Happy Friday everyone!
I hope all of you had a wonderful week! My week has been pretty hectic with school, group projects, exams, blogging and work. Whew. Let's just say I'm ready for next Wednesday to get here so I can have a little break!
In honor of spring officially starting Sunday, I'm sharing my spring bucket list with you all! I have already made a fall and winter bucket list and it has been so fun trying to complete these activities! A lot of these may seem pretty cliche spring tasks, but believe it or not I have not done many of these! Such as decorating Easter eggs, picking up some fresh peonies, or a picnic! Hopefully I will get most of these done this season! Let me know what you're looking forward to the most this spring!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Spring has Sprung

 Romper: Marshalls (similar) // Flats: Target // Purse: Marley Lilly (on sale!) // Sunglasses: Nasty Gal  (sold out) // Pearl Earrings: Forever 21

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday!

The weather here in Charlotte has been absolutely beautiful lately! It seems like we skipped the transition period between winter and spring and headed straight to 70 degree weather. No complaints here. (:

Today I'm sharing an outfit that is perfect for this beautiful weather we've been having here lately. I picked up this darling little romper at Marshalls about a month ago and am already on a hunt for more like it! This romper is super comfy and the material is great because the sleeves keep me a little warm for when the wind blows, but the material is light enough so I am not burning up in it.

Also, the print on this romper is absolutely beautiful. It reminds me of something I would see on fine china! I decided to pair this romper with my monogram clutch, some nude flats and my favorite sunglasses for Nasty Gal (aka my "sassy glasses"). I also threw my hair up in this little half up - half down high pony. This hair style has been on trend lately thanks to Ariana Grande and I am kind of diggin' it. What do you all think of this hair trend?

I hope you all are having a great week so far and are out enjoying this beautiful weather! Be sure to come back Friday for a new post! (:

P.S. If you haven't yet already, I would love it if you checked out my post for College Fashionista! If you do, be sure to hit the RAD button!
