Summer Wish List

Hey y'all!

I'm sorry I have been so MIA lately. There's some big changes happening soon and I can't wait to share next week. I'm hoping to start posting regularly next week, but it might take two weeks. (Worst blogger ever)

Anyway, Spring is right around the corner and I thought I would share what's on my wishlist.

Roses

Happy FRIYAY lovelies!

Remember on Wednesday when I said I was trying to get on a Tuesday/Thursday schedule with posting? Ha! Me either. Kidding of course. I really am trying and hope to be on that schedule next week.

Anyway, I wanted to get y’all a Valentine’s Day outfit ASAP, since its right around the corner.

This set is PERFECTION!

I wore it last week to HH, and out; and let me tell y’all, I am obsessed! I have wanted a two-piece set for a while now, and I’m so glad I finally took the plunge. I love that the pants are wide leg and since they are also high waisted they show just the perfect touch of skin. The rose print is what makes it so V-day appropriate in my book. Add some heels, statement earrings and either a pink or nude lip and your ready for a fun night with your hot date, gal pals, or whoever you’re spending Feb 14 with.

Not sure of my plans just yet, but I can promise it will most likely involve repeating this outfit. Plus J thinks the wide legs are funny which makes me laugh. When I put them on last week he literally asked me “Why are your pants so wide? Your legs aren’t that big!” HAHA (Insert crying laughing and eye roll emoji here.)

I hope y’all had a fantastic Friday and an even better weekend! I  started mine a little early by picking my BFF up from the airport and celebrating with mini donuts this morning.

As always thanks for stopping by.

Holiday Pieces After the Holidays

Happy Hump Day!

I am still trying to get on a regular blogging schedule, so please bear with me. My goal is to do one every Tuesday and Thursday; with the occasional special post on Wednesday. I’m really struggling with Tuesday, because I need to do more weekend prep. However, my weekends have been hectic to say the least. I will get there eventually y’all I promise.

Today I wanted to talk about how to wear your “holiday” pieces now that we are well into the New Year. 

I love this metallic skirt and while it was great for Christmas, it is still versatile enough to wear now. Over the holidays I would pair it with a black top, and a red lip. Now I wear it to work with a white button down, and a pink or dark lip. I also think it would be PERFECT for the upcoming love holiday with a red or pink sweater. 

I think it’s important to get as much wear out of your holiday pieces as possible.

Check back next week for how to wear your sequin tops all year long.

Hope you have a great Wednesday.

Thanks for reading. I truly appreciate it.

Cashmere

Hey lovelies!

TG it’s almost the weekend!

Today I’m talking to y’all about my newfound love of cashmere.

I remember when I was a little girl my mom talking about how soft cashmere was. How cashmere sweaters were great for the cold NC winters. (Before global warming.)

This year I got my first cashmere sweater and I finally understand what my momma was talking about all those years ago. It’s literally the softest thing I have ever felt, and oh so warm. I layered it with just a tank one day while visiting NC and I didn’t even need a jacket.

This one is currently on sale with additional off!! I have linked it along with some others that I love. I know it may be hard to think about cashmere with spring right around the corner; however now is the time to buy and put away for next year. These prices are unbeatable.

Sweater: Dillard's (also love this & this) | Jeans: Old Navy | Shoes: Steve Madden (I also own Citron and Sand Suede.) | Earrings: BaubleBar | Lipstick: Sephora Lip Stain in Black Cherry | Nail Polish: Essie in Bikini So Teeny

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! It’s Gasparilla in Tampa and J is coming for the first time!! I’m so excited to take him to the parade and show him all the shenanigans this weekend entails!

P.S. This would be such a cute and casual Valentine's Day look. 

Winter Wear

Happy hump day!

I can’t believe it’s almost February and that it’s still 80 degrees almost every day here in Florida. Since this should be the coldest time of year for us I wanted to share some winter outfits with y’all over the next couple weeks.

I actually wore this while visiting my family in NC over Christmas but, it works for the transitional time of year. Vests are great because they provide a decent amount of warmth and you won’t be as hot as you would be if you were wearing a coat. (I was sweating when my mom and I decided to visit museums this day.)

The main thing I love about this look is the way all the colors work so well together. I know white denim is supposed to be a NO-NO after Labor Day, however I think with the right pieces it can work year round. To me the white denim is what actually pulls all these colors together, and makes the outfit read vey wintery.

Sweater: H&M last year (similar here, here & here) | Jeans: Lulus old (similar here own and love these) | Vest: Forever 21 old (similar here, here love this) | Boots: Steve Madden last year (this year's identical version here) | Sunnies: Ray Ban | Purse: 3.1 Phillip Lim | Necklace: Forever 21 old (similar here & here) | Lipstick: Mac in Invite Intrigue with Too Faced Melted in Dream House layered on top

What’s the weather like where you live? I hope we get a little more cold weather before “spring” (aka summer) arrives here in Florida.

As always thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!
