Haaappy Wednesday! It felt so good to put on a short dress again! I feel like everyone is in the same boat, but I cannot wait for consistent warm weather 🙂 I love living somewhere with a change of seasons, but spring/summer will forever be my favorite!

This dress is a recent purchase and I love it! It’s super comfy and casual yet easy to dress up. The color is a deep blue and for any blue-eyed girls out there, your eyes are going to pop! My favorite part of this dress is the ruffle at the bottom. Some ruffles can make a dress look too girlish/young, but I think this ruffle is wide enough to add a classy detail. The sleeve length isn’t for everyone, but I like that it’s intentionally made to be short. It adds to the casualty of the dress and shows off your accessories on your hands and wrists.

My purse is from Target and it’s really nice quality! The quilted pattern on the outside and the gold chain make it a pretty Chanel dupe. There’s also a strap inside to wear it as a satchel. I also like the gold clasp, which keeps the purse locked closed.

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed reading along 🙂 See you Friday!

Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day weekend!

Today’s look is a satin button down paired with acid wash jeans and Keds! I’m convinced this shirt can make any outfit look put together! The satin helps reflect the color well in different lightings and movements, and the pink is so pretty in person. Also a bonus: it’s lightweight, flowy, and very comfortable! One of my favorite details is the hidden button placket, which minimizes the amount of visible construction and gives the shirt a sleek overall look.

These Keds are by Kate Spade 🙂 They were a Christmas gift but they’re available at Nordstrom Rack, which I linked above. I looove the bows on them! They take up about half the shoe and they lay flat on the top. These shoes have a satin finish to them as well, which helps them pick up the light nicely.

That’s all I have for today. Thank you so much for reading along today! I’ll see you back on Wednesday 🙂

Hi friends! Today’s look is another outfit idea for Valentine’s day. It’s a balloon sleeve floral dress with gathering along the bodice and a tulip-shaped hem. A full floral pattern can easily overpower the garment it shapes, but this tulip-shaped hem really helps to break up the fabric. I love that the skirt drapes into the hem with the illusion of a wrap dress, yet it’s structured enough that it won’t open to expose anything. The gathering on the bodice of this dress blends into the skirt and gives the dress a little more texture and movement. It also has a square neckline in the front and back, which is a flattering feature on a variety of body types.

My shoes are from Amazon, although I’ve seen a lot of similar pairs from different stores. I purchased these last spring and I think they’re so fun! To be honest, it took a couple wears to get used to. You definitely have to make sure to tie them tight in order for them to stay on, but once you get the hang of it, they’re really fun to wear!

That’s it for today 🙂 I’m so glad you stopped by today and I hope to have you again on Friday!
