I usually hate when there is any sort of breeze or wind while my sister and I are taking blog photos because my hair usually ends up in my face for a good half of the shots. On this day though, the light breeze was perfect to showcase just how fabulous this skirt moves! I have to give major props to my sister for perfectly catching it moving in the breeze. These pictures show just how gorgeous this skirt looks when you move and walk in it. I have found my favorite way to wear this skirt is with a t-shirt. I love that its is fancy on the bottom and casual on top. Pairing it with a tee is also a great way to wear this skirt to a baby shower or brunch without looking too overdressed. Midi skirts are in every store right now! I think they are complimentary style on an array of body types which means they might be around for awhile. Despite that the length of a midi skirt is different on everyone based on height, the skirt never seems to be at an unflattering length. I am a petite 5’3 and one of my besties is about 6 inches taller than me. We were both talking the other day about our love for the midi skirt length. It’s a professional length for work, but you can still wear it on the weekends too.
I have to give a special thanks to Lauren of Style Elixir for naming me Head Stylist on her blog yesterday! Check out my Q&A with her here! You may just learn something new about me! Thanks for stopping by!!

Do you know what this weekend is?? MOTHER’S DAY! That also means you only have a few days left to find the perfect Mother’s Day gift! I have compiled some really fun gifts for an array of different moms. For the new mom, the Tervis Mommy’s Sippy Cup. I know a couple new mom friends who love this thing! Does your mom love to cook? I added my favorite cookbook to the list. Ellie Krieger is my go-to for healthy recipes. This book is all about taking your favorite comfort foods and making them healthier! I have made so many recipes from this book, so I can say with confidence that they are delicious! If you are looking to treat your mom with a little pampering, then the philosophy gift set may be the perfect choice. This set features a shampoo, bubble bath, and lotion, plus the cute little gift box with the perfect message for mom. I have also linked these fun Kendra Scott earrings which I have had my eye on for a few months. I just can’t decide what color I want. All of Kendra’s jewelry comes in tons of colors, so you can pick up a pair in your mom’s favorite color! I really like this necklace from Dogeared because it is a gift and a card in one! The packaging has a cute little saying on it just for Mom. I am a coffee addict so I think a Keurig is always a good gift idea. I think this might also be good for those new moms who may not be getting as much sleep as they used to. Best part of this guide – all these gifts can be picked up at an actual store from Nordstrom to Bed, Bath and Beyond to your local bookstore. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! AND an extra special Happy Mother’s Day to my mom!!

I did it! I wore my white denim out of the house! We celebrated my dad’s birthday yesterday, and I decided that was the perfect event for their debut. I mean family is kind of forced to put up with my crazy and irrational fears of wearing white denim, right?!? I have good news to report, I did not sit in or spill anything on my jeans! Yep made it through the whole event STAIN FREE! A definite first time out success!
My outfit today is probably one of the looks I was most excited about for my new white denim. I think bright colors look so much more bright and vibrant with white pants. Don’t believe me, check out the last time I wore this top on the blog in the Restyled and Remixed section at the end of this post! The top just looks more colorful to me. I feel like white denim provides a blank canvas that is perfect for a splash of color. I love my dark colored jeans, but I am really loving how crisp and clean the white denim looks. I definitely think they are better fit than the dark jeans for spring and summer daytime events! I have some brunches and family parties coming up, and an outfit like this one is going to be perfect! I was so happy to hear that I was not the only one who fears wearing white pants. I have enjoyed styling my white denim, so I am considering these spotless white jeans from Joe’s Jeans. They claim to be stain resistant! Has anyone tried them? Are they really stain resistant and worth the price tag?

This outfit came together as a complete last minute trying to make it work sort of accident. That is a mouthful! I used to wear this top with a long black tank top underneath it. I normally do not wear a lot of prints, and I am definitely very new in the whole print mixing thing. About a year ago, I was most likely running late (because that is usually when some of my favorite outfits are born) and realized all my black tanks were dirty. In my I need to be out the door mode, I decided to try this striped tank on with my striped top to see if it would work. I do not think I have ever worn a solid tank top under this French Connection top again! For me, this outfit is a huge print mixing win! I know it’s just stripes on stripes, but it’s a baby step into the print mixing big leagues. I always find it interesting that some of my favorite layered looks come from times when I was in a hurry and did not have time to second guess if these things really go together or not. Maybe I should spend that extra five minutes playing with my dog in the mornings and giving her even more belly rubs than I already do, a beautiful outfit could be born out of the rush to not be late that typically follows. Happy Friday Ya’ll and thanks for taking some time to stop by my blog this week!!! Read another post, if it makes you run late maybe you will create a fun new outfit too. 🙂
