Wearing: Express skirt (old)



I've been joking with my best friend lately that I like a little "prep in my step". My friend and I have similar taste in fashion, but I'm definitely more into the J.Crew look and she's into looking more glammed up.  I've never thought of the term "preppy" to describe my style. Growing up, I loved extremely girly clothes. You could almost surely find me in pink (in many cases from head to toe) and florals. These days, I'm more into stripes, polka dots, and chambray because I finally found the quintessential chambray button up at Loft. It's made for petites (yay!) and the fabric is soft as can be. I know it's going to get a ton of wear, which means you guys will be seeing it a lot on the blog. For its first appearance, I decided to pair it with a short lace skirt and kitten heels. The heel is so tiny, they feel more like flats. When wearing such a short, tight skirt I like to keep the rest of the outfit more conservative for fear of looking too...well, you know.

How would you describe your style?

Loft cardigan (similar)
Olive and Piper necklace, waitlisted but love this and this too!


Happy St. Patty's day everyone! I wish I could say that my Monday is going well so far, but I woke up sick with a cold. Not exactly in the festive Irish mood I should be in. However, I had a wonderful weekend so I can't really complain. The weather was still insanely perfect, I spent time with my best girl, and the hubs and I went for another Sunday hike with a couple friends we haven't seen in awhile. As Summer draws closer, weekends will start to feel shorter and shorter. They are never long enough! 

I'm linking up today with Carylee and Gina! Have a great day, and don't get pinched ;)

Wearing: Loft scarf
Express blouse (Forever 21 cami underneath)
Vince Camuto pumps
Saint Laurent ring (love this in silver and pink)


Here is a look featuring my new Kate Spade bag from yesterday's post. The weather has been unbelievably perfect here the last few days, and Spring is definitely in the air. I stepped outside our front door and instead of the usual dry plants hanging lifeless by the step, a few flowers are beginning to bloom. This time of year is the best, isn't it? Aside from the beginning of Fall, when that crisp feeling is in the air, I just love the start of Spring. There's a certain clean slate feeling about it, the promise of long balmy nights and BBQ's with friends. Not to mention a candy colored handbag and a floral scarf.
