Skater

On August 14, 2013August 13, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas4 Comments

Even though I am sure they are different today (and as silly as they still are), I can’t help but remember the names of all of the different cliques at my high school: the preppies, the slippies, the jocks, the popular kids, the smokers, the drama kids, the choir kids (that was me), and last but not least, the skaters. And I swear, when skater dresses became popular this year, all I could think of were the skaters I knew in high school. Silly story, but true none-the-less. And while, of course, I do love a good skater dress-I am especially loving them right now. Because they have a tight bodice, a higher waist, and a full skirt, they are ideal back to jackets and cardigans, which makes them a perfect transitional piece from summer to fall, or back to school.

I can’t believe that I have never tried a pair of Sole Society shoes before. I actually picked up this pair (for a steal!) when I was in San Francisco for meetings last week. And I have to say, I am super impressed. Not only are they super cute and affordable, but the quality is great and they are comfortable to boot. They have definitely earned a fan and a return customer in me!

Hope you are having a great week. Thanks for stopping by!

Pretty in Pink

Oh how I love pink. All shades of pink, and anything that comes in pink. And so, when I saw that one of the things on JCrew’s Fall 2013 trend report was mixing different shades of the same color, I thought I’d get a jump-start and test out the look with a summer outfit composed of a few of my favorite things. Which of course, should come as no surprise, are all shades of pink…

I know I am personally really excited about this new trend and can’t wait to experiment with it. Especially as we get closer and closer to the Fall season. But I would love to know, what do you all think?

Happy Tuesday!

Boyfriend

While J and I were on vacation this past week, someone asked me if he was my boyfriend. And being that we just celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary, that kind of made me giggle. Because really, the only true boyfriend I have in my life these days, is my favorite pair of boyfriend jeans…

I cannot believe how fast our vacation went by-sometimes I wish I had a magic button I could press to slow down the time just a little. But I will forever cherish all of the amazing memories and fun times shared with family and friends while we were in Montana.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Simple.

In an effort not to overload you all on color this week, I thought today I would post a more neutral outfit. Because after all, sometimes it’s true what they say, simple is best. And while I don’t always necessarily gravitate towards these types of vintagey tops, the fabric and drape of this one was just to pretty to pass by. You can also see how I styled it another way here…

Candy Stripes

Color tends to be a pretty consistent trend in my summer wardrobe. And this fun, striped skirt from JCrew is no exception. And while I initially gravitated towards styling it back to heels and vibrant oranges, I am also looking forward to trying it with shades purples, or a favorite chambray shirt and pair of flats. Don’t you just love pieces that provide so much versatility in your wardrobe? I know I sure do!

Now You See Me…

Confession: I LOVE camo. Always have, always will. In fact, my father-in-law even got me my very own snow camo gators for Christmas one year because I thought snow camo was especially pretty. So when camo is in, I am always especially quick to jump on the trend. And so of course, given it’s popularity this season, I knew that a camo vest would be the perfect addition to my wardrobe for the summer season…

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We spent ours celebrating the marriage of two of our dear friends. And let me tell you, it was a truly lovely wedding and a fantastic celebration-pretty sure I can’t think of a better way to have spent the weekend.

Just wanted to take minute and wish you all a very happy and safe 4th of July! I know I am personally looking forward to parades, the rodeo, a little time spent on the water, and lots of yummy food-all in celebration of this incredible country that I am lucky to call my home. God bless America!
