White Embroidered Dress

A tale of white spring and summer dresses continues… This theme started Easter Sunday and continues with this look. I mentioned last week that I have been drawn to neutrals, and this is a prime example. Something about a white dress feels fresh to me. It’s nothing new, but I guess after wearing relatively dark colors through the fall and winter, this is a nice change! I will be posting more white dresses soon!

I LOVE espadrille wedges! Truly, I can’t get enough of them. I wear my classic J. Crew espadrilles (1 and 2) all the time, so I decided to invest in another pair for spring and summer. The sole is squishy, and the platform allows for all day comfort. If you’re looking for a new pair of sandals, these are a great option! I’m wearing a 39 and am a solid 8 in almost all shoes.

Let’s spring forward

Who else is ready for spring? Spring inventory is arriving at work, it’s everywhere online and my newsfeed is covered with spring break posts. All we need is the warmer weather! As cute as this coat is, I think I’m ready to retire it until next fall. I can’t wait for sundresses and sandals. I’m sure as soon as the Dallas summer heat arrives, I’ll be regretting I ever said this.

This blouse and these jeans are great transition pieces as the seasons change. Throw on your favorite tee and sandals with this distressed straight leg. Tuck the gauze polka dot blouse into your white skinnies, and add an espadrille for another spring look!

Tweed Please

Today’s post is a combination of old pieces that I put together to create a new look. These are all classic pieces that you should keep in your wardrobe. A chambray top is something you can wear any season and with any bottom. The camel vest is the perfect layering item to complete all fall and winter outfits, adding style but not bulk. And of course, every girl must own a tweed skirt.

I did receive this vintage Chanel brooch for Christmas that I’m excited to style. Adding it to this outfit, completed the classic and timeless look.

Try creating a new outfit with old pieces this week! This will bring new life to your wardrobe.

Coated Denim

I’m a little late to the coated denim trend, but I’m sure glad I made it. Every premium denim brand makes their own version of a coated jean, but these bad boys are my favorite. The combination of the high rise and the sheen make for a great leather legging alternative.

When I think about adding a garment to my wardrobe, I make sure it is versatile. I have the ability to dress these up and down. I paired them with my GG sneakers and a tee for work (shown), but I dressed them up with a silk blouse and heels for dinner with Henry.

What do y’all think about coated denim? Do you own a pair?

Fall’s Sundress

You may think your sundresses must be stored away until next spring, but you’re wrong! While the seasons are still changing, and it’s warm outside, wear them! BUT, instead of adding your go-to sandal, throw on a suede bootie and maybe even a jean jacket. This is a great way to transition your look from Summer to Fall.

I also need to give a shoutout to a few of my friends for giving me these fun earrings for my birthday!!! Click the link above to get your own.

How adorable is this dress?? I wore it for the first time Easter Sunday and didn’t want to take it off. I wasn’t familiar with this brand until I bought this dress, but now I’m obsessed! Each of Ganni’s pieces has great detail and pattern. Unfortunately, this dress is no longer available, but I linked similar options by the same designer!

Moving on to my outfit details… I bought this top at a local Dallas boutique, Esther Penn, and I did my best to find it online. Of course I couldn’t, so I tagged similar products. You can’t avoid ruffles this season, so why not go big, even if it does look like I’m about to fly away. These jeans are the ULTIMATE flare, and they are on sale!

Florals, For Sure

I’ve been traveling more than usual, so that explains why my blog posts haven’t been as consistent. But now that I’m back, I wanted to share some fun pieces for spring.

First of all, florals and ruffles are HOT. Both of these trends are a must this spring and summer, so I’ve linked a few more of my favorites below. I’m also in-love with these white resin earrings! They pop against any hair color and match every outfit. Don’t forget to check out the embroidered straw clutch above. You can always count on Hazen and Co to spice up your accessory game.
