crocodile hunting

I felt like I was going on an African Safari in this look!  Pulled these thrifted cargo capris out with all my spring stuff and they're typically something I hike in.  Just goes to show you how you can remix and repurpose your clothes! 

I love all the neutrals here, though.  It's so refreshing to wear them all together verses pairing them with brights and neons.   "Simple Sally" as my sister would say.  

Next time you see me I'll be a bit blonder (thank goodness for getting my hair did)!

wear your boyfriend's clothes

This week try incorporating some of your boyfriend's clothes into the mix.  Well...maybe not his clothes specifically but the style of your boyfriend's clothes for sure.

I'm totally into this slouchy look this season and there are so many different pieces to choose from!

A oversized button down or polo is the perfect bikini cover-all!
Boyfriend style shorts are a new trend this spring and honestly, I'm just so happy to have my rear fully covered!
Try an oxford with a flirty dress in lieu of a cute flat!
A fedora, lace up flat espadrille and oversized watch are the perfect accessories!
An oversized sweatshirt-dress sounds so delightful for running errands post work or on the weekend.
Great boyfriend fit chinos in all different colors all over the mall these days - how would you style them!?

Shop my boyfriend picks:

more stripes?

And yet, I cannot get enough.  I keep purchasing and still more seem to be surfacing from my closet.  Striped tops, that is.    This happened to be one of the mornings I had time to snap my pics before not only the sun was truly up but also before I had to leave for work.    

Everything in this outfit is an obsession of mine right now; from the stripes to the neon coral clutch, the nude open toe wedges and yep - still rocking this eBay boyfriend jean score!  

This outfit was completely inspired by Pinterest.  I just typed in "boyfriend jeans" trying to gain some inspiration on other looks from clothes similar to what I already own.   This is where I jot down something on my "need/want" shopping list.  If I repeatedly pin a hot pink blazer, I probably should track one down!  As you know, I also love adding feminine touches to a slouchy or masculine look.  Such as, the bun, clutch, and wedges.  

What kind of dress up are you playing lately?

weekend full of dresses

This weekend wear dresses every day!  I'm obsessed lately.  It's unusual for me to be giddy about dresses, I have such a hard time working them into my closet thinking that I'm not "covered" up enough.  Don't fear because every time I throw that concern out the window I'm so happy I did!  They are not only a top and a bottom to an outfit but they are so playful and easy to style!

Dressed up or down you can rock a flirty dress number anywhere your weekend plans take you!   I've rounded up some of my favorite looks thinking of what I've got going on this weekend.

Saturday Market look - our public market here is to die for.  I would wear a casual dress with Toms and some funky jewelry to add more interest.

Date night look - toss on a color blocked maxi with a few simple accessories.  You don't want to go too crazy here to keep his attention on YOU!

Sunday brunch look - this style is a little more relaxed for our day of rest.  Add an interest by tossing on a colorful scarf and bangles!

What are you weekend plans?

chambray + stripes

 

If you had told me five years ago that I'd be fighting the urge every morning to wear my chambray top I wouldn't have believed you!  A denim...shirt?! No way!  Well, way my friends, way!  The perfect duo here, stripes and chambray.  This is by far playing it safe with this jailbird skirt I scored at Target for $8 (yep! Now you want to shop with me, eh?)

It's actually quite funny, I had this outfit already paired up on the closet door (where I organize my outfits for the week) when I saw Anna Jane of See Jane almost wear the same pairing!

lemon drop

I wore this outfit on Sunday for our end of the year Recital.  This is now the second time I've worn this skirt and I may try to get it in another color.  It's adorable and so comfortable and has pockets! So clutch!  It's one of those "twirly" a-line skirts, that you could spin and spin in (obviously not in these shoes!). 

 The only downside?  Dry clean only.   So annoying!!   I'm the type of person who would throw this in just the washer and ultimately ruin my most expensive piece I've bought so far this spring (eep!).    Thank goodness for Dryell, which I'll be attempting... probably after one more wear! Ha-ha. 

Anyways, I love it paired with the denim jacket which I threw together on a whim; add a little red lip for some glam and whammy! 

Thanks for reading my ramble...
