I’m thankful I can wear most anything to work. “Athleisure Mondays” are the best because they make starting a new week a little easier. You can wear your favorite workout gear whether you’re an Adidas girl or love Lululemon. A fairly loose dress code also allows me to be creative. I can look like I have a “real” job and wear a blouse and trousers, OR I can wear my new wide-leg chambray pants and five inch platforms. I don’t think those would fly at JP Morgan.

Do you have a dress code? I’d love to hear how you get creative with your workwear.

Classic Combo

I’m wearing some oldies but goodies today! There’s nothing greater or more classic than a white and denim combo, and you can most likely create this look with what you already have in your closet. I got this Theory dress about 5 years ago, and it still remains a front runner after all these years. A white fit and flare won’t go out of style, so why not splurge and get one of great quality to last. I linked some similar options for you try!

ALSO, how adorable are my resin earrings from Hudson Carter?? I’ve partnered with them to give YOU 15% off your order using code “SS15.” They’ve got clothes and accessories you must check out! Don’t forget to follow them on Instagram because they post a lot of really great pieces that aren’t online (how I got my earrings). Share this with your friends, too!

I know I’ve done a Target roundup before, but I thought it was necessary to do one again! They’ve got so many great pieces for summer that you must have in your closet. Easy summer dresses that make getting ready a breeze. It’s already 100 degrees here in Dallas, and if you don’t have a little circulation, it’s too hot to bare. That’s why dresses are a go-to for me. Shop these goodies all under $50!!

Let me know what you want me to highlight next Friday!

Embroidered Bunch

The embroidered trend was huge last year, and it’s back again! I bought this top last spring, and I can’t believe I found an almost identical version a year later. This blouse looks great tucked into high waisted skinny jeans or a flare if you’re feeling the 70’s vibe. I love that I work in a casual office, so that I can have fun and be creative when I get dressed in the morning.

Floral Fanatic

I wouldn’t say I’m a floral fanatic quite yet, but they are definitely growing on me. This season, I’ve found myself gravitating towards these bright patterns when I usually just stick to plaids and stripes. Honestly, I have too many blue and white stripe tops to count, but they all serve a different purpose in my wardrobe and heart ;). Polka dots haven’t won me over yet, but there’s more to come in the flower department.

Thanks for stopping by!

Striped in Scottsdale

I told y’all a while back that Henry and I didn’t anticipate the chilly weather in Scottsdale. I intended on wearing this matching set without the denim jacket to show off the top’s detailing. It’s almost time to lose the jacket in Dallas and fully embrace the summer heat. Until then, this denim jacket is my go-to layering piece. This bag is also a great piece for spring as it carries your lipstick, credit cards and phone – all you need for a night out.

Spring, We Welcome You

Spring is officially here (PRAISE!!), and it’s time to transition our closets to the current season. This leather dress, a staple of my fall/winter wardrobe, can easily be transeasonal. Instead of wearing a sweater and boots, I’ve paired this dress with my favorite denim jacket and spring silk scarf. AND, who cares about the “white rule” – don’t be afraid to pull out those white sandals you haven’t worn since labor day.

What pieces in your closet are you transitioning to spring?

Chambray Shirting

A chambray shirt can do wonders for your closet. Not only does it go with everything, and I mean everything – even that dressy pleated skirt you have hanging up, but it is also transeasonal.

Imagine yourself on a brisk fall day wearing skinny jeans, knee high boots, a plaid blanket scarf and this perfect chambray. You can even throw a cable knit sweater on top for extra warmth. While it may be too warm to be dreaming of chunky layers, you’ll also see me wearing this button down with my favorite distressed white flares and a cognac heel – a classic spring/summer go-to.

The chambray I’m wearing (linked above) runs big so be sure to size down. Plus, it’s only $25!! And don’t worry, you won’t die of heat exhaustion because the blouse is fairly thin.

P.S. Don’t miss out on the ultimate spring and summer bags and sandals from last week’s Friday Finds.
