Sweater- Boohoo, similar here & here // Vest- Windsor, splurge or save // Denim- Nordstrom Rack // Shoes- Banana Republic, splurge or save // Sunglasses- Charming Charlie // Earrings- Old, similar here; Banana Republic, love these // Bracelets-  Nordstrom Rack, similar here; Nordstrom Rack, similar here; Essentially Raine

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!

Girly Girl Trench

Trench Coat- Nordstrom Rack // Tee- Banana Republic // Shorts- American Eagle // Heels- Old, similar // Bag- Out of stock, love this // Earrings- Banana Republic (on sale!); Old, similar here // Bracelets- Nordstrom Rack, similar here; Nordstrom Rack, similar here // Ring- Banana Republic (on sale!)

This coat is a dream come true. It has a ruffle, it's my color, and well it's a trench coat. It took me all of three second to make it mine. Just a heads up, they only have a few sizes left in this color and one size left in the grey/silver color.

Next product has to be the tee I am wearing. I'm always adding white t-shirts to my closet no matter what. So when I came across this fitted and incredibly soft tee I knew I was going to make it a repurchase. 

My favorite ice cream shop (ever) has finally opened for the season, #CapeCodproblems! Needless to say, I have already been there twice this past week, and i'm planning on making sure they know my order by heart when summer rolls around, ha!

Bloomin' + Sales

Dress- Banana Republic // Jacket- Banana Republic // Pumps- DSW, similar here // Earrings- Old, similar here // Bracelets- Nordstrom Rack, similar here; Nordstrom Rack, similar here

I was in desperate need of an Easter dress this year, and it just so happens that my size came back in stock just in time (Hallelujah!). I originally paired it with this trench, but to tone it down a notch I paired it with a denim jacket. 

There are two great sales going on right now. The first being Tory Burch. When you spend $250 you save 20% off, spend $500 save 25% off, or spend $750 and save 30% off, use the code BLOOM at checkout to receive your savings. But really, it is taking my whole being not to buy a new bag or a pair of shoes. You can shop the sale here here, but grab it when you see it because everything goes pretty quickly.

Finally, Saks Fifth Avenue is having up to 30% off selected items until April 25th! You can shop this sale here.

Happy weekend, and thanks for reading! xo

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?

Biker Meets Chic

Jacket- Nordstrom Rack (other options here & here)

Dress- Banana Republic, love this (other options below)

Shoes- Topshop

Sunglasses- Francesca's, save or splurge

Earrings- Old, similar

I've had this dress for a few months now, but I just couldn't find the perfect way to style it. All the items have been in my closet for months now. Finally my creativity decided to show itself, and well that's how this look was created and why all the items are all out of stock. 

I always forget about shift dresses, but quickly remember why they are my favorite style once I put one on. I've had my eye on this one for a while.

Easter Dress Shop

I've been thinking about my Easter dress for a few weeks now but it just hit me yesterday that it's coming up this Sunday. Therefore, the procrastination must end tonight. It's a decision between lace, floral patterns, and just simple pastel colored dresses. I've got all of those linked in the widget above. All you have to do is click on the image and it will take you directly there. 

Three other dresses that are great options would be this high low dress, which I am honestly debating on. This little white dress is up next, and this dress that I have decided to classify as the sweet southern Easter dress. 

Happy Monday, and thanks for reading! xo

Turquoise Blazer

Blazer- Banana Republic (on sale!)

Tee- Gap, almost identical

Denim- Gap

Shoes- Banana Republic, similar

Bag- Rebecca Minkoff, similar

Earrings- Banana Republic

Necklace- Kendra Scott

When you mix my obsession with blazers and smack the color turquoise on one then all is right in the world of Catharine (imagine what a pink one would do ha!). It's just what I was looking for to get my out of the black and grey slump from winter. It adds the pop I was looking for while keeping me warm in the still cool weather. While on the subject of spring and blazers I thought i'd just throw this one out there. It's a statement but oh my goodness does it look stunning on.

Easter is so close and as usual I haven't found a dress yet. Nothing is popping out at me this year. Suggestions on styles or stores are most welcome! (;
