Happy Wednesday! I’m halfway through my short work week. I can see my 3 day weekend ahead. One of my favorite things to do on a weekday off is head to the pool. It’s less crowded than weekends and a little more peaceful. Unfortunately, it may still be a little too cool this weekend for a pool day, but I know it will not be long before I’m lounging poolside.
Almost every year, I pick up a new swimsuit and retire an old one. One trend I plan to head to the stores to try out this year is a high-waisted bikini. I’ve seen them on a few other women, and they look so cute! For swimsuits, I prefer to try on in-store or order from someone with a good return policy like Nordstrom. It’s nice to try on a swimsuit in the comfort of your own home and take a few days to decide. I’ll even order two sizes to be sure I get the exact fit I need.
A few swimsuit trends that I’m loving this season besides the high-waist are scalloped trim details and front cutouts. I think both add just a hint of detail to the suit. A pool day is not complete without the right accessories! How cute are these heart sunglasses! Pair them with a floppy hat, and you are good to go! I also included a couple coverups. I love both dresses and wrap style coverups, so I found an option in both.
I probably read the most on my pool days which means I need some good book recommendations! Leave me your favorite summer reads in the comments!

Floral Midi Skirt for the First Day of Spring
Happy First Day of Spring!!! I can not imagine a more perfect skirt to ring in the spring season. It’s one of my favorite print mixes in one. I love everything about this skirt from the flared style, the midi length, the thick stripes, the floral print, and oh the gorgeous colors. I am a fan of many things on the Chicwish site, but oh do they have some fabulous skirts! This is my 3rd skirt in this style, and I always receive so many comments, questions, and compliments when I wear them out. I love that the look and quality of this skirt looks like it would be pricey, but it’s only $45!
I couldn’t resist pairing it with my ivory scalloped cami for the perfect kick off to spring look. This outfit combo would be perfect for a shower or luncheon. You could also make this work for Easter Sunday, add a pink cardigan or denim jacket if you don’t do strappy tops in church.
For the office, pair this skirt with a solid color tee or white button down top. If you have a fitted pink top, it would be perfect to play on the colors of the flowers in the skirt. I opted to wear my rose gold jewelry to work with the pink of the skirt.
I know some of you aren’t quite experiencing the sunny and warm spring weather yet, but I hope you still get out and enjoy the start of the season! Tell me in the comments what item you are most looking forward to wearing this spring!

Spring Work Dress under $100
Oh Hello Friday! I usually feel like short work weeks seem to drag on forever, but for some reason this one flew by! With my fun packed weekend, I could not be more excited for that too. I have plans with friends and family, and it should all be oh so fun!
One of my go to work options in the Spring and Summer is a dress. This utility shirtdress is the perfect Spring work dress and it even comes in under $100! I think the color of this shirtdress can make it work for both the office and a more casual setting. You can pair it with wedges or flat sandals for a weekend brunch or shower look. This brand usually runs small, but with this dress I found it to run just slightly big.
I could not resist pairing this gorgeous olive color with my brown peep toe booties. This brown shade is going to be perfect to pair with all the things for Spring! To add a little bit more color to this look, I added in my pink ombre earrings. I just love the pink next to the olive color and with the brown, it’s perfection! If you want to see my top picks for spring statement earrings, be sure to check out my post from last week!
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and know that I so appreciate you taking some time out of your week to stop by and read. It always amazes me that something that started out as a fun little hobby is slowly growing into something more, and a huge part of that is you guys. So Thank You! Now, let’s weekend!

Rodeo Outfit with Cowboy Boots
Hello Loves! For all my Houston readers, we are officially one week away from the rodeo cookoff which means oh so close to Rodeo Season ya’ll! A couple weeks ago, I shared a rodeo outfit idea without cowboy boots, and this week I’m going full cowgirl with a rodeo outfit with cowboy boots.
This western wear inspired outfit would work better for the last half of the rodeo when the weather warms up a bit. I finally added a denim skirt to my closet this year! I think the last one I owned was in college. I have become such a skirt person, so a frayed hem denim skirt was something I wanted to add for the spring and summer. I love the natural faded look of this one and the length. It’s the perfect start to building the perfect rodeo outfit.
I added on this western romance crop top to add a little boho and western flair to the look. My hair is covering the beautiful details on the shoulders of this top, oops! The sheer top portion also features a pretty floral design. I have another flowy crop top from this brand and wore it so much last summer. Even though, it’s not quite the weather yet, I knew I wanted to add this to my wardrobe stat! It will also be cute with skinny jeans and shorts.
I pretty much only wear cowboy boots to the rodeo, so I only own this one pair which are a few years old. I found a few similar pairs to mine though in the links section. Mine are the Bed Stu brand, and I couldn’t really find any western boots by them right now. When I’m wanting to wear jeans, I always tuck my skinny jeans into them. A flowy top like this one would be perfect for this combo, or you can add a long sleeve plaid if the weather is still cool.
If you aren’t heading to a rodeo soon, this outfit with sandals will be perfect for you during the end of spring or summer months! I hope you guys have a fabulous weekend! I have a nice 3 day weekend headed my way, and I cannot wait! Check back Monday because I’m going to put together a list of Presidents’ Day Sales for you. It’s a good time to buy both end of winter clearance and stock up on spring basics. Be sure to come by and check it out!
