Happy Friday friends!! I’m so excited for tonight.  One of my gal pals and I are headed to the Pink concert.  I am a fan of her music, and I have heard she puts on a great show.  It’s definitely going to be a fun night out.

I’m already receiving invites for a few Kentucky Derby parties next weekend.  Not going to lie, I have little interest in the race, but I do love an excuse to wear a pretty dress and fancy hat.  For those of you wanting something different, I wanted to share a Kentucky Derby outfit idea that is not a dress. Because it’s Spring and most will be wearing colorful dresses, I knew white jeans needed to be involved.  White jeans are an easy way to make any outfit look dressier.

This blue and white striped halter top is perfect for a Kentucky Derby party.  The design of the halter and almost seer sucker type material dresses up this outfit a little.  Both pieces will help you blend in perfectly with all the dresses.  Floral prints and gingham tops would also work or anything with a fun spring color to contrast with the white.

Even if you are not heading to a Kentucky Derby party, this outfit would be a perfect dressy casual jeans outfit for any summer parties you have coming up or just for brunch with friends.  I’m wearing an XS in the top.  Overall the fit is perfect, but it is slightly snug in the bust department.  You might want to size up if you are a little more gifted in this area than me.

Thanks for stopping by this week! I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Hello!!  How was your weekend?  I finally made it out to my pool.  We didn’t quite get to 80, but we did get to 73 outside and that was good enough for me!  I also squeezed in an outdoor morning run on Sunday.  I figured I should take advantage of the cool mornings because it will not be long until it’s too hot to run outside no matter how early you go.

Y’all how cute is this gray striped ruffle top!  I love this outfit for a weekend night out or even a little date night.  I added in my favorite block heel sandals and a few different pops of color to complete this look.  The magenta and teal work so well together and really look perfect next to the gray.

You could also make this top work for daytime by trading in your jeans for a pair of white or black shorts and trading the heels for wedges or flat sandals.  The material is really lightweight and the boxy style will be perfect for a hot summer day.  I sized down to an XS because of the boxy fit of the top.

I hope you guys have a great week!  Thank you so much for stopping by and don’t forget to check out the style link up at the end of today’s post!

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday!! How was your weekend?  After a busy week, I ended up not doing anything over the weekend and loving it!  It was the perfect weekend for a little recharge and relaxation.

This blue striped off the shoulder top is a great mix of both classic and trendy for Spring.  When I think Spring prints, I have to include blue and white stripes.  It’s as Spring for me as gingham and florals. 🙂  It’s a classic print that can be dressed up or down and worn a variety of ways.

This classic print is given a little trendy vibe with the off the shoulder style.  The band on this top is really good at holding this top in place and is not too tight.  I styled this top for a fun evening out with jeans and some pops of color, but you can also pair it with white shorts and wedges for a daytime outfit.

I hope you’re week is fabulous and don’t forget to check out the Style File Link Up at the end of the post for more style inspiration!  Thanks for swinging by today!

Ya’ll, we have had the prettiest first week of Spring!  I know so many are dealing with snow, but our weather has been picture perfect. So I think you should all escape to Texas and join our Spring weather party!! 🙂  I have a feeling everyone will be outdoors all weekend long, and the rosé will be flowing!

I love pulling out the black and white gingham print for Spring.  This print seems right up there with florals in popularity.  I found this gingham dress about a week before I bought it.  I could not get it out of my head.  I loved the gingham, but I also LOVED the ruffle midi bottom and halter neckline.  I think two really work well with my petite frame.  The full skirt is balanced out by the tighter fitting and shoulder baring top.  Also, this dress is perfect for twirling.  I felt a little like my BFF’s 3-year old when she puts on her princess dresses.  I just had to twirl a bit.

Originally, I pictured pairing this with fun red statement jewelry for a party or happy hour look.  Once I tried it on, I decided to play with a softer color and pair it with this light turquoise statement necklace and simple gold stud earrings.  I like how the softer color plays up the feminine details on the dress.  I think this softer styling would be perfect for a baby/bridal shower, date night, or a fancy lunch.

Sizing Note: Most brands at Asos are European sizing, so you will need to size up.  I am wearing a US6 in this dress, and I normally wear a 4 in dresses.  If you have never shopped Asos before, I love them!  They were one of the first places I shopped at online.  They have really quick shipping.  I usually get my packages in 2-7 days, and the return process is really easy too.  With the sizing difference, I have had some big misses which made me appreciate their easy return process.
