Lounge Romper

Happy Thursday! 

I am so ready for the weekend. This week has literally been non-stop.

I will probably wear this outfit at some point this weekend.

I just purchased this romper before 4th of July weekend because it just seemed like something I really needed in my life right now. It did not disappoint. It's super soft and comfy, but you can totally dress it up. It's a perfect work from home piece that you can also wear out and about. 

Did I mention it comes in a ton of color options? I decided to go with the soft pink to break away from my normal neutral color pallet. 

This hat is also my new favorite purchase. I'm a huge fan of hats but I don't always love the price tags that come with them. This one is really good quality and won't break the bank.

How is everyone doing? Still quarantining? My job told my this morning that the earliest we will go back to work is November. Not complaining because I finally just bought a desk about 3 weeks ago. I am also cleaning out our guest room so I can make it double as my office. (Follow me on Poshmark- Katie_tflb and Mercari- KatieB because I am getting rid of so much stuff. And at really good prices.) 

I hope everyone has a fun and relaxing weekend! 

P.S. I sized up to a large for a roomier fit. Medium is my normal and would have fit fine. 

Take me to Tulum

Take me to Tulum!

That's actually the name of this set. I would also like to go to to Tulum right about now and this set would be the perfect thing to wear. 

I think the thing I miss most about "normal" life is travel. This year was supposed to be a HUGE travel year for me. While I'm super thankful I got to go to Paris and Vegas (twice) I am definitely sad for all the trips I had to cancel. 

I would love to be in Mexico right now wearing this cute set! I mean would it not be perfect for sitting at a beach bar with your toes in the sand? 

Even if you aren't traveling to a foreign beach destination you need this set in your closet. 

I personally am a huge fan of two piece sets because you can get so many outfits out of them. This one is no exception. I think the smocked, ruffle top is my favorite part. It would also look really cute with denim shorts. 

The bottoms are also great because they have pockets! What girl doesn't like pockets? I think they are supposed to be a little cropped, but since I'm so short they are just normal pants. 

I literally forgot ALL my shoes at home on this shoot day so I had to wear these flats with EVERYTHING. I think they look great, but it would look even better with a pair of wedges. 

You definitely need this set in your closet for these last few weeks of summer. And don't forget that you can totally pair these pants with a chunky sweater and some booties come fall.

Spring Stripes

Today I want to share one of my favorite pieces for this time of the year. I love cute little short sleeve button up tops. The reason I love these so much is because they can be worn a variety of ways. They look nice with jeans or pants for the office and then on the weekends you can pair them with shorts & flip flops for a laid back style. You can also wear them unbuttoned with shorts over your bathing suit or tied up with high waisted shorts. They are really a versatile piece.  Styling Tip: Since these tend to be boxier pieces, make sure you pair it with something more fitted.

I picked this cute striped one up from Forever 21 a few weeks ago. (I saw this as I was walking through to the main mall area, which was great because I feel like I never have luck at Forever21 anymore.)  It’s also available online in all sizes which is great news for y’all! I got soooo many compliments on this shirt when I wore it on Saturday.

Top: Forever21 | Shorts: Target old (similar here, here & love this brand) | Slides: Steve Madden | Purse: Amazon | Sunnies: Ray-ban | Lipstick: Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in Primrose | Watch Band: Amazon

What are your favorite pieces for this time of year? Do you love versatile pieces as much as me? I’d love to hear what you are looking for as far as clothing goes right now. It can be such a tricky time to shop.

Cold Shoulder

I know I say this a lot, however, this look is one of my favorites. I think a crisp white button down is a necessity in every gal’s wardrobe. You can dress it up for work with slacks, wear it for date night with skinny jeans and high heels, or to brunch tucked into jean shorts with some cute flats. It is a very versatile piece. Since I believe this is such a wardrobe staple, I also believe you should have a fun variation. I was browsing a local boutique the other weekend, and this top immediately caught my eye! I love anything white (although I can’t ever keep things white #messy), and these sleeves instantly called my name. I mean hello it’s slightly dramatic, but the lace detail keeps it girly. When I pulled it off the rack I knew it was just too cute to pass up. I styled it with jeans and skinny heels for a date night look. I think it would also be cute tucked into cropped pants with flats for a more office friendly look. If you already have your standard white button down, I highly suggest picking up a fun one like this for the spring/summer season.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! I think I’m going to take the weekend to Spring clean and get my taxes done! Ughhhh, not the most fun plans but definitely necessary.

Easter Eyelet

Happy Tuesday friends!

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I went non-stop from the time my best friend arrived until he left. We had a great time in Charleston and got to see a lot of things in the short time we were there.

I also got to shoot this amazing white jumpsuit on Rainbow Row and I think it might be one of my favorite shoots to date.

I picked up this gorgeous white jumpsuit from Ashley Gryre (a local boutique) about a week ago. I saw it and just had to try it on. I was a little nervous as this boutique can be pricey, but this jumpsuit was a total steal. I love white and eyelet in the spring/summer, and the style of this jumpsuit is AMAZING! It’s supposed to be a little cropped (short girl problems), but I didn’t mind where it hit on me.

I want to wear it everyday; but that would be a little extreme. I will however be wearing it this Sunday for Easter.

I’ve linked a bunch of options below for Easter in case you are still in need of the perfect outfit.
