Outfit: Peplum

Are you tired of hearing about Wish? Good. Because I'm not done showing you what I bought while I was there. 

Well, I bought this peplum top there. And it's my new fav. Love the color. Love the cut. Love that it makes me look like I have something resembling a waste. Love everything about it.

I hope you have a very happy Tuesday!!

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all had a great Monday!

It is no surprise that I really like bright colors. When I saw this skirt, I knew that I had to buy it! It's from Target and this style skirt is my new favorite. It's fitted without being too tight. It's a great weight fabric. It has pockets. It is the right length for work. Yep, perfect skirt.

Ethan! Stop being ridiculous and take my picture! SHEESH!

Outfit: Vacation Ready

We are going on vacation!! We haven't been on a true, restful vacation in a few years, so we are really looking forward to it! I hope to take some outfit photos while we are there, but I wanted to show you some items that are vacation ready and super adorable. All of them are from Target, so they are affordable and easy to get your hands on!

A great floppy hat for the beach or the pool

Small cross body bag for all the walking around while shopping

Sandals with a pop of color

Versatile chambray tunic to wear with shorts, skirts or dresses

Bright colored shorts, love this lime green!

Botanical print top that is breezy and cool in the heat

Fab, flowy maxi dress

Modest swim suit bottoms

Coordinating swim suit top

I hope that you find some time to get away this summer, even if it's just for a night nearby to rest and rejuvenate. I can't wait to not have a schedule, shop til I drop, sit by the pool, and eat lots of yummy food that I don't have to cook!

Have a happy Tuesday, friends!

Outfit: My Favorite Things

This outfit encompasses 3 of my favorite things about putting together a look:

Pattern mixing:

Wearing a dress as a skirt:

And purple lipstick:

I say, wear combinations you want. Do what you love. And don't care what people think!

Have a happy Tuesday, everybody!

Outfit: Brights and Butterflies

Sometimes, you just have to wear bright colors. Today, the weather started out gloomy so I thought what better way to spread some cheer than to wear some bright colors together in an outfit! That and butterfly earrings.

Breakdown: All Target! Shoes are from 2010.

Outfit: Super Comfy

Happy Tuesday! Can you believe it's already May?!?

I love a maxi skirt or dress because they are just so comfortable! I mean, sitting at my desk all day, it's really nice to feel like you're wearing the comfy equivalent of pajamas.

Hope you have a fun Tuesday!

Outfit Tuesday: The Day I Matched Kendi

Once upon a time, I wore this:

And later in the day, I checked Kendi's blog and she was wearing this:

And I was so excited that we almost matched exactly!

Hooray!

Also, I loved my Katniss braid.

Outfit breakdown: shirt, Old Navy; skirt, Loft; wedges, Target.

Have a very happy Tuesday, my friends!

Outfit Tuesday: Stripes

I like the website, Modcloth, a lot. They have a whole section of "longer lengths" skirts for people like me...girls with long legs who have a hard time finding skirts that are knee length to wear to work. However, Modcloth can be pretty pricey. I liked this skirt the first time I saw it and I happened to check in on it every few weeks. And finally...it was on clearance! They had 1 skirt left and it was in my size so I snatched it up! It is difficult to style because the colors are very distinct, but I'm working on it.

Also, I finally got the nude pumps I had my eye on. Woo hoo!

Run down: shirt, Gap; skirt, Modcloth; pumps, Target.

Have a very happy Tuesday!!

Outfit Tuesday: Stripes and Dots

I've been wanting to branch out with some pattern mixing in my wardrobe, but have been too timid to try it. I decided that today was the day! I selected the pieces last night, making sure they worked together, and because I was running a tad late this morning, I didn't have the option to try to pick out a new outfit. I was forced to go with the stripes and polka dots ensemble. Overall, I'm very pleased.

Run down: shirt, Target; skirt, London vintage shop; shoes, Target (2011).

Happy Tuesday!

Outfit Tuesday: Crowd Pleaser

I wasn't planning on blogging this outfit when I got ready this morning. However, all day long people were so sweet to tell me how much they liked this outfit and my hair. First of all, it is so encouraging when people give compliments like that. I mean, they don't have to, but it always is nice when random people say something so nice to you. So remember that next time you see someone who looks nice or something and tell them you think so. It'll make their day. For real.

Breakdown: cardigan, Urban Outfitters; dress, anthropologie (after Christmas sale for $18!!!!); boots, Target (last winter). 

Ok, so check it out. There's this blog that I follow, Kate and the Small Things Blog. She's a hair stylist and I posts hair tutorials every week. Today I tried her style, the double bun. Check out her blog. You'll love her and her ideas.

Don't you love when people compliment you randomly? Do you like to try new hairstyles? Are you brave or do you stick with what you know?

Hey, have a happy Tuesday!

Outfit Tuesday: Neon

I cannot tell you how excited I am that neon is in this season. I pretty much wear neon colors all the time, it's just now, I'm trendy when I do! Also, this lipstick is my favorite: Covergirl Lip Perfection in Spellbound. Rich, creamy, bright. 

Here's the breakdown of the outfit: cardigan, GAP (gift for Christmas); shirt, anthrolopogie (after Christmas sale for $8!!!!!); jeans, Old Navy; leopard print flats that you can't see, Target (gift card!)

My second-day hair: pinned back bangs, french braid around the left side into a side bun. I like having my hair out of the way on the mega windy days. 

Thanks for reading, again. Have a happy Tuesday!
