Me, Myself, & I

{target tee (similar) | UO skirt (cute option) | i heart ronson jacket (similar) | steve madden boots | asos socks | havok necklace & earrings | fossil watch}

I feel so very me in this outfit.  A pocketed skirt, stripes, and boots - it's the kind of outfit I feel best in.  If we're really being honest, I actually prefer pajama pants, bunny slippers, and a ponytail held up by an 8 year old scrunchie, but, you know...you guys would get bored seeing me in that fancy get-up day after day, so I change things up a bit.  For you.

Maxi Love

{ON dress, sweater (similar), & boots (similar) | fossil watch | boyfriend's belt | gifted earring | dogeared necklace}

There's not much to say about a maxi dress that hasn't already been said.  Comfy, flattering, lengthening, easy to top with a sweater and fool your friends into thinking it's a skirt...what's not to love?

Crop Circles & Stripes

{f21 cardi (cute option) | whoop tee (giveaway win) | gap jeans (similar) | target shoes | vintage necklace (similar)}

I'm doing it again.  Wearing the same thing in less than a week.  When I get a new item that I really like, I tend to do that.  It's like my brain literally can't remember anything else that's in my wardrobe, and it forces me to keep turning back to the same piece I haven't stopped thinking about since the day it arrived.  This tee is that piece.  Its simple bold, graphic print just goes with everything.  And really, it's a b&w screenprint of a nautilus/crop circle hybrid that Tara dreamed up.  Can you blame me for wanting to live in it?

Mon Petit Chapeau

{gap tee | f21 shorts | ON hat (similar) | payless shoes (similar) | kohls, groopdealz bracelets | fossil watch | havok necklace (giveaway win)}

I just need to take a moment to rejoice over this hat.  Yes, this one, single, on-clearance, unwanted, little $10 hat.  And it's because it really, truly fits!  Being the owner of one of the smallest heads of just about anyone I've ever met, it's a pretty big deal to find a flattering hat that's not indigenous to the kids' section of Target or Gap (ditto for sunglasses, but that's a post for another day).  Right now I'm going to go put on my fancy new chapeau and do a little happy dance to celebrate my foray into adult-intended headwear.

Since today is Arbor Day (go hug a tree, seriously, it'll make you smile.  Or better yet, plant a few!), it only seems fitting that today's photos were taken during a walk through a local park's cherry blossom festival a few days ago.  The weather predicted a sunny 70 degree day, hence the skirt & sandals.  In actuality it was 55 degrees and cloudy with 13mph winds that made me want to walk around shrouded in a blanket.  But alas, cherry blossoms are fleeting and we were not about to let some wildly inaccurate weatherman stop us from enjoying them.

And just for the sake of Arbor Day:

Aren't they just gorgeous??

Michael Kors Giveaway

This week I've teamed up with Gumball to bring you a fun giveaway.  I know spring has been slow to arrive to most parts of the country, but that doesn't mean we can't still dress like it is.  This bright & cheery yellow clutch would add such a fun pop of brightness to any outfit, no matter the weather (but really, let's hope spring kicks in quick).  Good luck!!

Birthday Suit

Before you go thinking I'm completely crazy for wearing a paper crown, just know that over the weekend some friends & I celebrated my birthday.  Not that this fact necessarily justifies the questionable headgear, but sometimes the birthday girl just needs to don a tee shirt, jeans, and wedge sneakers (a perfectly acceptable birthday suit in my opinion), and top the whole look off with a jaunty little flourish.  Because this is the one day a year that this particular cranial adornment isn't questioned.
