Spring Gingham

 How freaking fun is this dress? When I was shooting it with my Mom I was like I need to reel it in. All these photos are just going to be of me twirling or throwing my skirt. She was like isn't that the point? And I guess she's right. If you're wearing a dress like this you should have all the fun! 

I love gingham for spring and when I saw this light purple option I just had to have it. I originally planned to bring it with me on my trip to NYC, but the weather had other plans in mind so I shot it before I left. It would have looked so pretty in the park with all the cheery blossoms in the background. (Insert here eye emoji here.)

I also have to take a moment to talk about these sandals. I saw them on another bloggers page and immediately fell in love. (I now can't remember which blogger for the life of me.)

Anyway the pearl detail is so pretty and fun. I will definitely be wearing these all spring & summer long. They go with so much and can really dress up a simple jeans and t-shirt look.

Did I mention that both the dress and sandals are under $25 EACH!! You can literally get this whole outfit for under $45!! Such a good deal! The dress is a total Sundress brand dupe too!

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. 

Romper: Amazon | Purse: Amazon | Hat: Fig & Willow (If you call the store they can ship. It's called the Panama hat. Similar option here) | Sunnies: Quay Australia | Shoes: Steve Madden (also love this update) | Lips: Too Faced Melted Matte Liquid Lipstick in Sell Out

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. 

Summer 2020 Uniform

Give me all the white tops and denim bottoms!

That has been my go-to lately. I can't stop wearing it. (When I actually put on real clothes.)

I will be sharing a couple variations of this outfit over the next few weeks, but let's talk about this one for now.

This top is AMAZING! I love how oversized it is. The little wordmark in the corner says "FEISTY" which totally fits my personality. I want to get a few more and cut them similar to this Free People tee. (I got the idea from Little Blonde Book. She has a tutorial on her IG.)

I also LOVEEEE these shorts. They are high-waisted but also a really good length. I feel like it can be hard to find high-waisted shorts that don't have your butt hanging out. I sized up one size so they are a bit looser. That's what I usually do with my shorts.

Then I topped it off with this awesome hat and my new favorite sunnies. Perfect summer look in my opinion! 

Top: Aerie (also love this Free People one) | Shorts: American Eagle | Hat: Sun Honey Sold out, but restock coming soon. | Sunnies: Quay Australia | Shoes: Steve Madden | Initial Necklace: Amazon | Other Necklace: Bryan Anthony's | Lips: NARS Afterglow Lip Balm in Orgasm

What's your go-to look in the summer? I love an easy dress or romper, but if I actually want to put in effort I will reach for white and denim.
