Happy Friday! This week kind of flew by for me, and I am not complaining. I am very ready for Easter this weekend and a little family time. Ok and my grandma’s desserts too. 😉 Do ya’ll have any big plans this weekend?
Spring in Texas is some of our best weather. It’s warm with a breeze, sunny, and not too hot yet. Most weekends are spent outdoors, so I wanted to share a chic Spring outfit idea that could be worn to an outdoor affair. I think it would be cute to wear to Easter lunch or an evening wine night with your girlfriends, maybe on a patio with twinkle lights. Navy and white is such a classic and chic color combo, and one I love wearing. The stripes on this one give it a sophisticated feel, but it stays chic and trendy with the one shoulder ruffle detail.
These Stecy sandals are a popular shoe for warmer months. They pair perfectly with both pants and dresses. I love the barely their look and the nude shoe illusion of longer legs. They perfectly dress up any outfit. Before I bought these, I always worried they would be uncomfortable and my foot wouldn’t be supported enough. But I wore them so much last season including to my cousin’s wedding, and I didn’t have any big issues.
I wanted to close out today’s post to share about a slight shift in my posting schedule that will take place for a few weeks. I have been putting off doing some behind the scenes maintenance on my blog, mostly because it’s time consuming and not as fun a creating new posts. BUT I really do want be able to cross it off my to do list. So for a few weeks, I’m only going to be sharing posts twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays. I’m hoping this will free up some time to work on all my behind the scenes fun without having to completely give up my social life. 🙂 Hopefully all the fingers crossed it will not take me too long, and I will be back to my regular posting schedule soon!
So I will see you Tuesday with another fabulous Spring look. Ya’ll enjoy this wonderful Easter weekend!

Hello friends! Welcome to Wednesday! So I am officially on the final week countdown of my whole 30 you guys! I can taste the wine it’s so close. 🙂 Seriously though, I can’t believe it’s almost over. I’ll be sharing a little review, so if you have any questions be sure to let me know so I can try to include them.
With Spring in full swing, you can expect to see a whole lot more of my white jeans on the blog. These Paige ones are my personal favorite. They have decent stretch without losing shape throughout the day, and most important of all the things – they are not see through! Shorter tops are a thing right now, so thicker white jeans are a must. These are a little pricey, but I know April marks the start of a few Friends & Family sales. I’ll let you know if I find them in one. (update: Just saw they are 25% off HERE!) I’m planning on buying a 2nd pair because I wear mine so much.
The color I pair most with my white jeans is probably blue (last seen here). I love them with a good navy. This top has a few great things going for it. One, the navy portion is super soft t-shirt material, so really comfy. Two, the striped ruffle bib top adds just the perfect amount of something special. I have also seen some with an open lace design and a ruffle. Three, this top can be worn for work or play. I would rock this outfit to date night, brunch, or a Spring patio party. You can change out the jeans and tuck this into a colorful pink or yellow or even plain white pencil skirt and head to the office. The bib design gives it that versatility to work for multiple occasions.
A cute ruffle bib top like this is also going to be essential come summer to pair with shorts. It’s lightweight and sleeveless, perfect for the heat. I found a few more cute bib tops below that I had to share! Ya’ll have a good rest of the week.

Spring Trends: Red One Shoulder Top
| OUTFIT DETAILS |
Red One Shoulder Top | Distressed Jeans | Nude Sandals | c/o Elaine Turner Clutch 25% off with code FAMILY | Earrings | Pave Bracelet | Gold Bangle | Rayban Aviators | Nails: Julep Shari | Lips: MAC Craving
One popular spring fashion trend right now is to show a little shoulder. I have shown you a little off the shoulder and a little cold shoulder, but today is all about my long time favorite the one shoulder look. I have always had a special place in my fashion loving heart for a one shoulder piece. So of course since they are popular right now, I’m wanting to buy all of them.
I find these tops to be really comfortable. With off the shoulders, you often can have limited arm movement or the top keeps popping up and cold shoulder is usually long sleeve so I am not going to want to wear much in a Texas summer. I mean these aren’t deal breaker reasons for me because I’m totally still buying them, but it’s why I’m happy to see one shoulder tops coming in strong this season too. One shoulders can be sleeveless for hot days, and that one strap means no dealing with keeping your top in place or limited arm movement.
Right now, many of them have these really pretty ruffle details on the shoulder. I love the scalloped and embroidered details on this red one shoulder top. A small sizing note on this one, I typically size up with this site because of UK sizing to a US6, but with this one I went with my regular size of US4. It has a lot of material in the middle, so the smaller size kept it from looking too bulky.
Before you run off to start your day, I have to mention a few really good sales going on right now!

Comfy Travel Outfit for a Road Trip

Living in Texas, I have taken my fair share of road trips over the years. I feel like I have a comfy travel outfit down pat. A few weeks ago, you may remember I ventured a little under 3 hours to my college town, Nacogdoches. I wanted to be all kinds of comfy for the drive, so I immediately grabbed for my new comfy pink tee. The material is so soft, and I am currently loving all things in this soft pink shade. I also added in a lace bralette. A friend turned me on to them last year on another road trip. These bralettes are really lightweight and comfy, and they allow you to wear slouchy or open back tees without worrying about ugly bra straps showing. This one is only $20 so I bought a neutral color and decided to try it out. I have loved wearing it under various tops. It only provides minimal support, so it may not work if you need a little extra support. I just saw it comes in a few more color options now too.
For most road trips, I opt to wear a comfy pair of jeans. You never know where you will be stopping along the way, and I want to look decent. I find AG jeans to be really comfy and have a good amount of stretch without losing their shape. They are a pricier brand, but well worth it in my opinion. Every now and again, I opt to go even comfier than jeans. For my latest trip, I wore leggings and a long cardigan with this top because it was really cold that weekend.
Road trip shoes need to be two things – comfy and slip ons. I always take my shoes off in the car, because I much prefer to be barefoot. These sneakers and my Tory Burch sandals are what you will often find me wearing on road trips. All you need after that is good music, a few snacks, and maybe a little reading material, and you are all set for a road trip! Ya’ll have a good rest of your day, and thanks for swinging by!
