Hello Ladies!  I’m sharing a look today that you can probably recreate from items already found in your closet.  I feel like you can never go wrong with a chic all black outfit.  I have mentioned it before, it’s one of my go to ensembles when I’m not sure what to wear.

You can go two ways with this one and either add in small pops of color or add some striking metal statement jewelry.  This necklace is the same chain material and color as my statement fave bib (previously seen here), but this one is lighter and a little less intense.  The large pendant at the bottom is some fun added sparkle to the necklace.  It really gives it that gorgeous chic look.  This is a great statement necklace to pair with a plain solid color tee and jeans or a crew neck dress too.

Also, I have to talk about these shoes.  They are crazy comfortable!!  I bought them because I needed a new black work pump.  I love the chic sophistication of a pointy toe d’orsay heel, and this pair was on major sale.  You can’t see it in the photos, but they have a really cool laser cut detailing to them.  I think this detail is also what makes them so comfy.  It allows the material to stretch a bit for comfort without being to loose. If you need a new black pump, I highly recommend these comfortable black heels. The fit for me was true to size, and they also come in pink.

Hey there and Happy Friday!!!

This stripe print and color scheme on this top  is what first attracted me to it in the store, but I was a little unsure of the peplum/bell sleeve combo while on the hanger.  Definitely one of those tops that looks way cuter on than hanging in my opinion.  The peplum portion is such a fun detail and one that keeps growing on me.  The peplum is perfect for pairing with skinny jeans or my skinny work pants and of course a cute pencil skirt.

Heads up to all my Nordstrom cardholders, we are currently in the middle of a triple points period on card purchases!!  It’s one of my favorite times to purchase those items that rarely go on sale, because it’s like getting a discount.

I feel like 70% of the people I know have a birthday in May.  This past week we celebrated my father and father in law, and this weekend we celebrate one of my girlfriend’s with spin class and brunch.  They are only the beginning too.  It’s going to be a busy month ahead!  I hope ya’ll have a great weekend.

Hello Lovelies! Hope ya’ll had a wonderful weekend.  We meant to be more productive, but then ended up watching National Treasure instead.  We’ve seen both so many times, but it still sucks us in every time.  Anyone else watch a good movie over the weekend?

Anyway, I wore this outfit to date night a couple weeks ago.  It was the perfect outfit for the casual fancy restaurant.  This ruffle one shoulder top is a chambray like material.  It has a denim look, but it’s very lightweight.  I’m going to love the lightweight part for summer.  I say this every time, but I think this is the last one shoulder top I’m going to buy….  until I found another irresistible one. 🙂

I feel like whenever you see chambray in Spring, it’s primarily paired with white pants or shorts.  For an edgier night look, I decided to pair my chambray top with black skinny jeans.  I did add some Spring accessories with my white earrings and colorful block heel sandals, so it still felt bright and springy.

Ya’ll I’m obsessed with these white earrings.  I’m preparing you now, you will see them many more times this season.  I didn’t realize how much I needed a white statement earring until these arrived in the mail.  White goes with everything, and it really pulls an outfit together where prints and multiple colors are involved.

Hi Ladies! Happy Friday!

I just adore a white on white outfit for Spring.  It’s just something so fresh and clean about the look. I will be honest though, this is more of an every now and again look for me for fear of all the potential stains. 🙂    Although, I do get a little braver every time I survive without incident.

When I wear monochromatic or neutral outfits, I love adding in fun pops of color like these heels.  I found them while on the hunt for a fun block heel sandal for the summer.  According to friends, the block heel is way more comfortable than a stiletto. I think it will work better for walking on grass or other uneven terrains too.

I originally considered these pink ones, but I liked the two tone coral and pink in this pair.  It was different and fun, perfect for a punch of bright color.  I have only worn them once to dinner, but they were comfy.  I do think if you have a wider foot, the coral strap may be a bit snug on you.

Enjoy your weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by!
