Big Sleeves & Blush Pink
Blush pink and gray ranks high on my list of perfect Spring color combos. The two colors compliment each other so well. This blush pink top would look gorgeous with white or blue jeans, but I love the contrast with the gray.
The feminine touches on this top make it so gorgeous and stand out. I love the big 3/4 length sleeve to help create effortless movement. The stripe illusion design on the sleeve is just another beautiful detail on this top to help it stand out a bit from the rest of the blush pink pack.
I kept the rest of my outfit pretty neutral with these cute white earrings and a rose gold necklace. I like that they compliment the top and do not overly distract from it. The top is semi-sheer, and a camisole is needed underneath it.
I hope you guys have a fun weekend ahead! Today is Go Texan Day in Houston, so lots of cowboys boots, denim, and horses on the freeways. It’s the kickoff day to our rodeo which lasts for the next few weeks. I’ve talked about it in past posts with outfit inspiration here. It’s always a fun time in Houston.
Thanks for stopping by you guys! I always appreciate the visit and your sweet comments!!

Styling a Striped Cardigan for Spring
Happy Friday!! Who’s excited for this 3-day weekend?!?!?! I am so ready for it, and I have so much going on! My gal pal Lauren is getting married this weekend, and I have been looking forward to this wedding for months! Even more exciting, the wedding is formal attire, and I love any excuse to get all dolled up! I used Rent the Runway for my formal look, and my dress will be arriving today. I picked it out over a month ago, so I’m excited to see it person. Bonus, my BFF and I decided it would be fun to get our hair done too. It should be a fun day, and it will end with wedding cake! I LOVE wedding cake ya’ll!!
I’m also planning to take advantage of a few Presidents’ Day Sales with a little shopping. A few months ago, I majorly cut dairy and sugar out of my diet and really focused on more plant-based meals. (Probably why I’m so excited for that cake 😉 ) I did it for the health benefits, but bonus I also lost weight and need some new work pants. So Banana Republic and Loft , here I come. I have to go to the store and figure out new sizes, so I’m hoping the malls aren’t too crazy with sale shoppers.
We are finally starting to have Spring weather here in Houston. I know some of you are still dealing with snow, but our weather is supposed to be in the 70s almost all of next week. I’ve lived in Texas all my life, and I’m not the biggest fan of the cold winter weather. Needless to say, I am happy to see our winter almost over! We always get that one last sneak attack around the end of February though.
I figured with our warm week ahead that I would share a cute winter to spring transitional look. This outfit is a great example of how to wear a striped cardigan in Spring. This time of year, I am all about the layers. I also like each layer to look cute on it’s own. This cardigan is lightweight and could easily be worn over a colorful top too. The base layer is a plain white tee which with a slight front tuck would work without the cardigan too if the weather is too warm.
Ya’ll, I found my favorite color block sandals back in stock and on sale this year! These block heel sandals are the perfect compliment to so many outfits. I love them paired up with this striped cardigan. They add the perfect pop of color to the black and white look, plus the open toe sandal style makes this outfit even more Spring ready.
I hope ya’ll have a great weekend ahead, and thank so much for stopping by and reading!

Pink Coral Sweater
Doesn’t this pink coral sweater just make you so ready for Spring?!?! It’s that perfect lightweight loose knit that works so well in the winter to spring transitional time of year. It comes in a few different color options, but I could not pass on such a gorgeous and bright pink. It’s the perfect color to get you in a Spring state of mind.
In person, I think the color of this sweater is a pinkish coral shade. I love the hi-lo hem on it too. I think it helps add a bit of shape to the oversized fit. The slouchy style is also the perfect pairing with my distressed skinny jeans for a laid back casual look. I added heels of course to still keep it a little fancy. 😉 Sizing note – I went one size down on this sweater to an XS.

Hello Ladies!! I’m so in love with the sleeves on this sweater. It’s a good subtle statement sleeve sweater, if you are not into the over the top version of this trend. It’s just enough poof in the sleeve to add a hint of drama. Plus, it’s still warm and cozy.
Also, I finally pulled the trigger on these tassel earrings. I have been admiring them for awhile and fell head over heels in love with this teal green shade. They are lightweight too. A little storage tip – wrap the tassel portion in tissue paper to help keep the fringe pretty and in place.
