Hey there Monday!! I had such a busy weekend that Monday seemed to sneak up on me this week. My cousin’s wedding was this weekend, and it was gorgeous! I posted what I wore over on Instagram, but I also plan on shooting it for the blog too. The shoes I ordered to wear with the dress don’t come in until today, so I wanted to wait to shoot the look how I originally planned on wearing it. Luckily, I had plenty of backup shoe options!
I’m also getting ready for a really fun girl’s trip that I’m taking in a couple weeks. We are heading to Charleston, and I am so excited to get to really explore this city with friends. I’m slowly planning my outfits for the trip, and I’m hoping to share little bit about how I pack for a vacation and a fun little travel guide of our trip to Charleston. Just a few things to look forward too!
I recently purchased a few pairs of flat shoes for my trip because Charleston is such a walking city. These lace-up flats are a shoe I have been searching for for awhile. I was kind of picky about what I wanted from no metal studs, to the lace design on the top of the foot, and I wanted them under $100. I bought these during a sale, but regular price they still aren’t bad at $70. They are a year-round shoe style, and one I can wear to the office with skirts.
This whole outfit may end up going on my trip with me. I definitely plan on bringing my denim jacket. It’s such an amazing and versatile closet staple. I toss it on with casual looks like this one and over dresses too. My look today is super neutral, so the jacket adds a little color. I also added in some fun colorful jewelry and my pink bag for a few more pops of color. This little crossbody bag is 100% coming on my trip! It’s the perfect size to hold my big DSLR camera along with all my other purse things. This color is sold out, but they do still have it in a darker pink color and some other fun colors too!
So I have to mention my black and gold bangle, it is actually a hair tie attached to a bangle. It’s the coolest thing ever! One of my blogger friends had one, and I really wanted one! I was super excited to receive one in a swag bag at a blogger brunch a few weeks ago. Definitely coming on my trip with me!
Hope ya’ll have a great Monday and thanks for stopping by!

Hey Friends! I hope ya’ll had a wonderful weekend!! I decided to avoid the malls and did all my sale shopping online in my pajamas with coffee in hand this weekend. Even though I love going to the store to shop and browse, there is just something about being able to shop in my pjs that is fabulous!! I had a pretty wonderful Easter too. I went over to my Grandma’s, ate too much food, and then threw confetti eggs at family members. 🙂 I’m pretty sure I may still have some rogue confetti in my hair today. Overall it was a pretty relaxing weekend!
I purchased this long cardigan last Thursday, and it’s so incredibly soft and comfy that I decided to wear it to work on Friday. I have a major thing for cozy long cardigans. Our weather took a cool turn last week, so this bright blue cardigan was perfect for the cool spring weather. This color is also ON SALE, this little sale price was also why I bought it in pink too. I like that it’s more of a lightweight cardigan, so I can wear it to the office in spring and summer. It also comes in a few other colors, but not all of them are on sale right now. I really like the two colors on sale, because they are such fun and bright colors. I own lots of neutrals, so I like to have a few pop of color pieces to toss on.
By the way, I found my sleeveless top available again. The color is slightly lighter than what I have on, but it is on sale. I hope ya’ll have a great week, and check back Wednesday because I styled my fun fringe sandals with a favorite spring dress of mine. See ya’ll then!

Happy Friday!! I am ready for the weekend!! It is full force allergy season in Houston, the weather girl literally said “If you have allergies, just don’t go outside” in her forecast this week. I only get headaches when the allergy weather is bad, but headaches are still no fun! I did wake up this morning headache free though, so I am ready for some weekend fun! I have plans for family time on Sunday and spring shopping on Saturday! I have a vacation coming up in a few weeks, and I want to buy a few new things for it.
While I am definitely a believer of wear what you love not necessarily what is on trend, I still follow along because what is on trend is what is in store. I am currently in love with many of the current spring trends. Over the next few weeks, I’ll share a few of my favorite spring trends and how I make them work for my style. One trend right now is flared jeans. I am not going to go full big bell bottom flare, because I think they throw off my proportions since I’m a shortie. I do however embrace this trend with my bootcut jeans. I love the slightly flared look of a bootcut jean. I always pair mine with some type of shoe with height whether it be a heel or a wedge. I think the added height really helps with the proportions between my 5’3 height and the flared leg. If you want to go full flare and you are short, I recommend pairing with a shoe with some height.
Flared jeans are fun because you can dress them up or down. I opted to dress this pair down with my mixed media tunic. This top comes in a bunch of different colors, but I really love this dark gray. It is a great basic staple top. I also wear it with pencil skirts for work. I added a punch of color with my bright pink bag which is on sale by the way! This round of silver accessories is my go to for an easy jewelry look. I love the platinum drusy and slate stone from Kendra Scott. I also own the slate gold version of these earrings and the platinum drusy stud earrings. They are great colors that work in so many different ways.
I hope ya’ll have a great weekend and a wonderful Easter! Thank you for swinging by the blog this week!!

I did it! I finally pulled the trigger and bought these shoes!! They went on sale last week to under $100, and I could not resist! I originally thought I was going to order either the beige or red ones, but I ended up going with the yellow. I LOVE these shoes! When picking a color I decided on yellow because I thought it was fun and different. I mean if I am going to by fun fringe sandals, why not buy them in a fun color too!
I wore almost this exact outfit to a blogger brunch this weekend, but I wore this black top. I was able to test out these shoes, so I can give you an early review. When I first put them on, they were a bit different to walk in. They reminded me a bit of mule feel. I did realize that it helps to tie the laces a little tighter to give you more support, and it makes it easier to walk. When I first tied them, one was looser and I could really tell a difference. By the end of the brunch and after walking around in them a bit more, I did find it easier to walk. I don’t own many shoes in this style, so I think I just needed to adjust to it.
I ordered my normal size on these, and they fit perfectly! You can tie the fringe tassels to be either front or back. Don’t worry these babies will be on the blog plenty over the next few months, so you will get to see them tied to the front too. I really like them both ways, but I do think tied front is cuter. I tied them front for the brunch and really liked how it peeked out of the jeans.
I just wrote a whole lot about just a pair of shoes! 🙂 For the rest of this outfit, I went pretty neutral with my top and bottom because I really wanted my shoes to stand out. I love mixing colors, and I love how the yellow looks with the maroon and purple of my jewelry. One of the reasons I opted for yellow is because of all the color mixing options. I can picture these shoes with bright neon type colors this summer and jewel tones for early fall.
I hope ya’ll had a great weekend! In addition to my blogger brunch, I started Spring cleaning my closet. I made some really good progress and re-organized it a bit. I still have more work to do, but I love how it is coming along! Is anyone else planning a big spring cleaning project this year??
