Set of Stripes

Two piece sets are getting more and more popular. I really like them but, I'm also really picky about the ones I like. My first criteria is that there can only be a tiny amount of midriff exposed. My second criteria, although not a complete deal breaker, is that the bottoms must be high waisted! (My upper "abs" are a little more toned so I don't mind those showing as much. haha) 

When I saw this cute little set on another blogger I just had to have it! I mean it's blue and white stripes so there was no way I could pass it up. I also love all the ruffles on the top and waist. The best part is that 0% of my midriff has to show. I wore it on my birthday and got so many compliments. A bunch of my friends also thought it was a romper since you can't see my stomach. 

 I did size up to a large, but probably could have done a medium. (I'm always a little iffy on shorts from amazon.) 

2-Piece Set: Amazon | Purse: Rebecca Minkoff color no longer available (similar option here) | Sunnies: Quay Australia | Shoes: Steve Madden old (similar here & here) | Lipstick: Sephora Rouge Cream Lipstick in Mr. Lover

Is everyone else as happy as I am that it's Thursday??

I can't wait for the weekend. I think we are going to see Lion King tomorrow. (Although can we talk about how expensive movie tickets are?!? It's $40 for me and J and that's before snacks. Looks like I'll be bringing my big purse with Dollar Store snacks. haha) 

Saturday we are going to tux shopping for the wedding Our 2 best friends are tagging along and we are gonna grab lunch and make a whole day out of it. 

What are your plans for the weekend? Have you seen Lion King? Is it worth the $40? haha 

I hope you have a great weekend! Thanks for reading! 

Classic Summer Stripes

With the first official day of summer being next week I wanted to share some classic summer outfits with y'all. (I have one today and will share another one on Tuesday.)

Y'all know I am a sucker for anything blue & white stripe so this shirt was a no brainer. When I first saw it I immediately thought if would make a great bathing suit coverup. It's oversized but really lightweight. (I love pieces like this to throw on for my walk down to the beach  .) Once I got home I started thinking of other ways to wear it and came up with this. I love this for dinner at a casual beachside restaurant. You could also do white jeans and flats. This is such a great cool, but classic look. 

Top: Aerie | Shorts: Target old (similar here also love these) | Shoes: Steve Madden old (similar here, here, & here) | Necklace: Amazon | Purse: Amazon | Sunnies: Ray-Ban | Lips: LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask (love using this as a lip gloss. Learned it from the Something Navy gals via stories.) 

Is everyone as happy as I am that it's Thursday? I thought this week would drag on since I'm going on vacation next week but it actually went surprisingly quick.

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.

Rain Rain Go Away

Hi Babes!

This weekend was so busy with J’s birthday, Mother’s Day, & TPC going on that I got 0 content shot. I figured no worries I can knock out a shoot or two after work on Monday. Well, boy was I wrong. It’s literally been raining all day everyday the past two days, and we are supposed to get more tonight, tomorrow & Friday. (Insert eye-roll emjoi here) Luckily I stumbled upon an old outfit that I never posted, and although the top is no longer available, I’ve found lots of similar options for y’all!

You already know I LOVE stripes so this shirt was a no brainer. I love the flared sleeves and the fact that it’s so long in the back. It’s also off the shoulder so you have ALL the trends going on. I paired it with booties because I shot it back in the fall, however, you could totally pair it with some ankle strap sandals or pointy toe heels for a great date night outfit!

Top: Shein old (similar here, here & here love this, this & this) | Jeans: Articles of Society | Shoes: Lulu's (sold out in my color) | Purse: Michael Kors old (similar here & here) | Sunnies: Nordstrom old (similar here & here) | Lipstick: I'm not 100% sure since these were taken so long ago. If I had to guess I'd say Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy in Bois De Rose

Like I said above, this shirt is long gone, but I linked lots of other shirting style options that will look great with jeans or shorts all summer long!

How’s the weather where you live? I feel like it’s raining all over the country. As long as it stops by Saturday I’m totally ok with it!

Thanks for reading. It really means so much to me!!
