Trench- Forever 21// 2 Piece Dress- Lulu's; similar skirt; love this, this & this set // Earrings- Ralph Lauren // Pumps- DSW, similar (on sale!) // Sunglasses- Old, similar

I actually bought this set back in the fall time for a wedding, and i'm just now getting around to posting it, oops! I even thought about not sharing it since it's out of stock, but decided against it because I really do love it. I pinned it in the pack to bring the skirt up a little, that way it was a little more modest for the wedding. But I can totally see this being one of those outfits to grab for a trip to the city. Like I said it's out of stock but I did find a few other sets that I have linked above and below. 

Living in a tourist spot there is one weekend that the locals don't look forward to in particular, that is Memorial Day Weekend. One word: Traffic. You learn to leave your house sometimes 30 minutes early and learn the back roads. The funny part is, this is just my second summer living here and i'm already complaining (Lord bless my own heart). But other than the extra people it's a great weekend to chill by the beach, if you can find a spot.(;

What are your plans for this three day weekend?

As Joanna Gaines would say, "It just needs more character"; my thoughts exactly on this sweater. It's just a simple plain black sweater but the criss cross detail in the back makes it have so much character. Unfortunately it's out of stock but I see a similar style pop up on Boohoo.com every few months. You're time will come my friend, I promise.

It's the beginning of May and the trees are still bare, it's between forty and fifty degrees, and it has been raining all.week.long. It just proves that Jesus made me a southern girl at heart who needs the opposite of all those things. But He's also proven that He is a trustworthy and faithful guy who knows what he's doing; therefore, keep the rain coming Jesus!

Cluster Drop Earrings

Jacket- Banana Republic, similar here & here // Sweater- Old, similar here & here // Denim- Banana Republic // Shoes- Old Navy // Sunglasses- Francesca's, identical // Belt-  // Earrings- Nordstrom Rack (only $10!!) // Lipstick- MAC in "Fleshpot" 

I've always been the one to reach for delicate jewelry. I love statement pieces but I can't wear them more than twice. That's why I was so drawn to these earrings while shopping in Nordstrom Rack. They're an easy start to the statement world because they are on the smaller side. Not to mention the price tag was something I could hang with.

I can't wait to start photographing spring outfits. It's still too cold outside to not have your arms and legs covered. I went down south last weekend, and I got so excited for the 70 degree weather they have been having. But of course I brought down the cold weather with me. But at least there's sunshine! Which is what I will be enjoying this weekend. What are y'alls plans for the weekend?

Sporty

Leather jacket- Nordstrom Rack

Top- Old Navy, similar

Skirt- Boohoo (on major sale!!)

Flats- Topshop

Sunglasses- Francesca's, similar style

Earrings- Old, similar

I've said it before and i'll say it again, Nordstrom Rack is one of my go-to stores to find essentials. One of those essentials being a leather jacket. I got my shipment of two this past week, and I couldn't be happier with them!

 One of the biggest trends i've seen this fall, and i'm sure will transition into the spring time, is lace up flats. You can find them in all different colors and price points; however, they are tricky when it comes to comfort. I've heard reviews on some that are a waste of money and some that are really easy to wear. The pair that I am wearing are one of the easy wearing pairs, and they are only $45!!

I've found myself watching older disney channel movies (like late '90s to early 2000s) and food network shows. For some reason they are very soothing to me haha! So if you can't find me, that's usually where I am.
