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!!

Blue Floral Blouse for Easter
Hello! Hello! How was your weekend?? The wedding I attended was amazing! I had so much fun dancing the night away. The dress I rented was absolute perfection. I was so sad to send it back yesterday. I did manage to squeeze in a blog shoot with it, so look for that in the coming weeks. You can see a little preview from my Instagram HERE.
Also, I did a little sale shopping over the weekend and wrote a little post sharing my top picks for the Nordstrom Winter Sale. Be sure and check it out HERE for some discounted boots, coats, sweaters, and more!
Now onto this outfit and all the Spring feels from it! We are flirting with 80 degree weather, and I love that it’s starting to feel like Spring, well minus the humidity part. 😉 I think this blue floral blouse would be so perfect to wear on Easter. The gorgeous pastel blue, the subtle floral design, and beautiful neckline details make this top so perfect for a dressy casual Spring outfit.
I love the lighter blue paired with white jeans. White is the perfect compliment to really let the pastel blue shine. I also added in my pink earrings to help bring out the warmer colors of the floral design on the top.
Y’all have a good week and don’t forget to check out the Style File Link Up at the bottom of today’s post! Thanks for reading!

Nordstrom Winter Sale + Presidents’ Day Sales
Happy Weekend! I had to pop in and share that the Nordstrom Winter Sale just started a few days ago with items up to 40% off! Winter items like boots, coats, and sweaters are typically more expensive, so this end of season sale is the perfect time to stock up on some of those cold weather essentials. I checked out the sale yesterday and shared some of my top finds below. I broke them down by category for you, in case you are looking for something specific this sale weekend. The sale runs for another week, but as some of you may know Nordstrom sale items usually sell out fast.
Also, don’t forget to check out the end of this post for some of my top Presidents’ Day Sales worth checking out this weekend. Many of them include additional discounts on sale items, so even more places to shop for those winter essentials! I hope ya’ll are having a great weekend.

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!
