With all this talk about summer, it can be hard to remember that we are technically still in spring 😊 
At least for the next day or so...
I was reading an article a day or so ago, the writer used the phrase, "we've been saying ___ all summer". I immediately thought to myself, 'all summer? It isn't summer yet'- LOL! Now I have absolutely no right to serve as a critic - in fact, I myself said a few posts ago that I would rather skip over spring entirely and dive head first into summer🌠 
Summer is hands down my absolute favorite season!!! Nonetheless, I think it's important to highlight a few of the fashionable benefits that spring weather offers:

1- You can dress for every seasons during the same week

2- It's a perfect time to trial run all of your upcoming summer favs

3- Trendy items like off the shoulders pieces come out of storage and go into regular rotation

4- If you do have to wear a coat, it doesn't have to actually be warm

5- It's a perfect season to practice and master the art of layering

Did I miss anything? Let me know in the comments 😘

Until next time Babes,

Winging It

"Oh wings, lift me up, bring me low

Oh wings, just where, I could go
-

Oh wings, gift me breezes, show me sights

Oh wings, glide me high, through city nights
-

Oh wings, make me warm, hold me dear

Oh wings, protect me, from all fear"

~Joi

The poem quoted above was written last night by yours truly. I believe that I have mentioned before here on the blog how I feel that I am a writer at heart. As the saying goes, life happens, and over the past few years I've gotten away from writing. I set a goal to begin writing again, even keeping a daily journal once more. Doing so always gave me a good feeling.

Sometimes goals can feel insurmountable, but the key lies in getting started. Everyone has to start, yes everyone has to start: somewhere.

Moving on to my super cute wing prop for today's post, aren't they fantastic?! I've been eyeing them for too long, even siking myself up to believe that I had to have on a super fancy outfit to take a picture in front of them.

As you can see, I finally threw that unnecessary notion to the wind. I propped myself in front of the wings in a casual two piece denim pinstripe set, and we snapped away.

Words to live by: Carpe Diem :)

Seize the moment my lovies!

Chambray, Navy Sequins, Pearls, and Seersucker: Worn to the Office

Today's outfit feels fun, playful, yet polished & professional (IMO). We have a somewhat strict business dress code at my work. Yet, I was determined: There had to be a way that I could incorporate this chambray blazer and a newly thrifted J. Crew sequins blouse. Here's what I came up with:

What I Wore:

Earrings: Loehmann's

Blazer: Nordstrom Rack

Sequins blouse: J. Crew, Thrifted (brand spanking new with tags @ Goodwill)

Necklaces: Zara & Pearls

Bermuda shorts: Ann Taylor (Thrifted)

Shoes: Anne Klein
