Spring is in full force here in SoCal! My favorite time of year, since the warmth (and not heat) is a welcome comfort. Over the weekend, I was still battling my cold. In between sneezing and coughing, I still managed to make the most of things.  Of course, some medicine helped, but so did the beautiful weather. I haven't worn this lace dress in months, but it felt good to slip into a light as air palette for a day spent at the beach. 

How was your weekend? Good, I hope!

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?

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 ;)
