Hello there and happy almost weekend! I can’t think of a better way to start this Friday than with a little weekend casual outfit inspiration.
I’ve had these shoes on my wish list for a few years now. With a Christmas gift card burning a hole in my pocket, I decided it was the perfect time to pull the the trigger and finally buy them. AND I am so happy I did. I kind of wish I would have purchased them sooner.
They pair perfectly with both jeans and dresses. For me, they fit true to size. They felt a little tight when I first put them on, but I loosened the laces which made them fit so much better. The leather also stretches ever so lightly with wear too. The laces tie in a bow, but I prefer to tuck it in for a cleaner look. I just place each half to the side, so it doesn’t show through the front part.
Yellow is high on my color crush list for spring and summer. I keep finding items in so many different shades, I love it! The mustard yellow is a great choice to work for fall too. This top keeps going in and out of stock, so I found more cute yellow tops below.

Spring Trends: Red One Shoulder Top
| OUTFIT DETAILS |
Red One Shoulder Top | Distressed Jeans | Nude Sandals | c/o Elaine Turner Clutch 25% off with code FAMILY | Earrings | Pave Bracelet | Gold Bangle | Rayban Aviators | Nails: Julep Shari | Lips: MAC Craving
One popular spring fashion trend right now is to show a little shoulder. I have shown you a little off the shoulder and a little cold shoulder, but today is all about my long time favorite the one shoulder look. I have always had a special place in my fashion loving heart for a one shoulder piece. So of course since they are popular right now, I’m wanting to buy all of them.
I find these tops to be really comfortable. With off the shoulders, you often can have limited arm movement or the top keeps popping up and cold shoulder is usually long sleeve so I am not going to want to wear much in a Texas summer. I mean these aren’t deal breaker reasons for me because I’m totally still buying them, but it’s why I’m happy to see one shoulder tops coming in strong this season too. One shoulders can be sleeveless for hot days, and that one strap means no dealing with keeping your top in place or limited arm movement.
Right now, many of them have these really pretty ruffle details on the shoulder. I love the scalloped and embroidered details on this red one shoulder top. A small sizing note on this one, I typically size up with this site because of UK sizing to a US6, but with this one I went with my regular size of US4. It has a lot of material in the middle, so the smaller size kept it from looking too bulky.
Before you run off to start your day, I have to mention a few really good sales going on right now!

Floral Cold Shoulder Top + Spring Must Have Bag

Floral Cold Shoulder Top | Distressed Jeans | Nude Sandals | c/o Elaine Turner Sonata Bag | c/o Crystal Stud Earrings | Bangle Set (similar one and similar two) | Rayban Aviators | Nails: Essie Blanc | Lips: MAC Faux
We made it to Friday friends!! I am ready for a super relaxing weekend filled with Whole30 meal prep and reading my latest book, Big Little Lies. I read another book by the author a couple years ago, The Husband’s Secret, and finished in like 2 days it was so good. I have been waiting for this weekend to start reading, so that I could really get into it without distraction.
I ordered this top not 100% sure how I felt about the print online. I figured in person it was either going to look a little cheap or be gorgeous. Ya’ll when it came in the mail, I was so happy to see it was the gorgeous option. It has the prettiest romantic spring feel from the print to the color choices. I love this halter/cold shoulder design, because I think it can be flattering on an array of body types. I can picture it paired with white jeans or even a pair of white jeans shorts during the summer. You can also swap out my sandals for wedges to make the look more casual.
Another item giving me all the spring and summer feels is this beautiful bag. I really wanted a neutral bag to work with all the fun colors and prints of the season, but something with a little spark for days when I wear neutrals or all black. You know when you are looking for something, but can’t put a good enough description on it to tell someone. You’re just going to know it when you see it, that is this bag for me.
The bag is by Elaine Turner who is one of my favorite clutch designers, and she totally upped her clutch game by making the perfect clutch/crossbody hybrid with this bag. I tuck the strap into the back pocket of the purse when I want the clutch look for a party or happy hour. When I need my hands to hold champagne, play on my phone, or do a little shopping, the strap comes quickly back out. I also have to give props that the strap really fits in with the design of the bag and wasn’t just some quick add on. It’s like you have two bags and both are equally fabulous.
Alright I will stop gushing over my new bag, I really am quite obsessed with it though. Don’t forget the times changes this weekend. I’m never a fan of losing an hour in a day, but I will gladly take it for the longer daylight hours that follow!!! Ya’ll have a really good weekend, and I will have more spring must haves for your next week. See you then!

Black Crochet Top to Wear Year Round

And my love affair with black tops continues. I have a feeling this top will be in constant rotation year round. The crochet detailing on the sleeves and neckline is gorgeous and good quality. I have already washed this top, and the detailing still looks good as new. One thing I was pleasantly surprised and pleased about with this blouse is that the elastic cuffs at the bottom of the sleeves are not too tight. I hate when they are just a hair too tight and leave light marks on your skin. These are not tight at all and really don’t even come in contact with my skin the way a normal elastic band would. Unfortunately, my order for this top was originally delayed and now it’s sold out. They do have tons more cute black tops though! I had to stop looking, because I found a few more to buy. 😉
I mentioned on Friday that my gal pals and I were heading up to my college town for our sorority reunion. We had so much fun on our trip. It rained most of the time, so we didn’t get to walk around campus to see all the new buildings. But we did get to head to our sorority house and check out the remodeling they did and meet current collegiate members. I only wish the weekend would have been longer because I saw a few faces that I didn’t have the chance to catch up with.
Oh and for anyone wondering, the first couple days of Whole30 have gone surprisingly well. I haven’t had any crazy headaches, so yay to that! But I am having to learn to eat a bigger lunch, so I don’t end up starving before dinner and needing a snack. Going from all day grazer to 3 meals is currently my main challenge. Thanks for stopping by, and I will see you back here Friday!
