What Winter?

I grappled with the title of this post, because although Winter never came around these parts, I know so many of you who severely struggled with it! It seemed exceptionally brutal back east and up north. Can you guys see the light at the end of the tunnel though? From the looks of so many Instagram pictures this week, it looks like Spring is blooming for a lot of you! 

Back to my non-Winter though. These looks are all from the past few months. I keep meaning to do a seasonal compilation of my outfits, but I haven't posted one since I believe Summer. I hope you enjoy! Many of you can probably consider these Spring outfits. I can't wait to get back to the beach. 

If you need links or details about any of these outfits, let me know!

Toes in O.P.I. "Lincoln Park at Midnight"

I think a lot of women feel obligated to come up with brand new outfits every day, and if you have a style blog, the pressure can feel even more overwhelming. My friends and I are constantly trying to find ways to feel current and fresh without shelling out a ton of money on clothes each season. In flipping through some of my old posts, I realized that I had an outfit that I loved for Spring, but hadn't worn since. In fact, that tank I had on in that particular post is long gone.  I do have a great replacement for it now though. I switched a few other things up, but the look is very similar and I love it! It's one of my favorite color combinations.

Here is the outfit I copied...from myself. Clearly a few things have changed from two years ago, my camera quality being the most obvious. And some things never change. I still like to leave this handbag wide open, which is such a hazard waiting to happen!

On a side note, Nettie my beastly but oh so loving puppy ate my beloved J.Crew factory sandals yesterday morning. After freaking out and worrying she may just die, I ordered the pair I linked above. Nettie is recovering from an eye injury, but I think the vet said her tummy is just fine. I swear I need to dedicate an entire post to her. I'm sure I could tie it in to style and beauty somehow :)

Pinning Lately

 I don't know what it is, but I cannot get enough of Pinterest these days. Maybe it's because I'm spending too much off time on the couch, or maybe it's because I'm needing a style upgrade, but I have been loving it lately. I was a fiend during my wedding planning, but I didn't really have an account during that process. I would just search for things I needed, save them to a folder on my laptop, and print them out to show to friends, family, and vendors. Now that the wedding is over and I do have an account, it's naturally become directed towards fashion and beauty.

Here are some of my favorite pins from my boards. You may find them beautiful as well. I'll take one of each please!
