Different Denim

I'm always looking for new ways to wear denim, it's comfortable, classic, and goes with everything; what a perfect material. I was a little hesitant about the whole denim vest idea at first as I didn't think it would mix well with my girly/preppy style, but now I'm all for it. Denim vests are great for the summer months and can be layered with different pieces throughout the fall. Yay for finding new clothing loves! :) What do you all think of the denim vest?

Oh, and I may never come home from my vacation. The beach is just too wonderful to leave.

Boyfriend Style

I'm a dress/skirt kind of girl but when I wear shorts, I tend to gravitate toward the "boyfriend" look. Slightly baggier shorts with a popover top are so perfect together. Although they don't show off the figure very well, the combo sure is comfy :)

I'm back, feels so good to be home! But a little hot.... going from 80 with rain and a breeze to a dry 115 is rough.

I start my summer job today, nannying some of my favorite kiddos. Yay for pool and movie days!

Thanks for bearing with me through those random posts last week, get ready for the usual outfit posts this week :)

Summer Layering

outfit details: dress: B.P. Nordstrom (old), top: J. Crew, shoes: Cole Haan (similar), belt: J. Crew, bag: Michael Kors (similar), sunglasses: Chanel via Ebay, bracelets: J. Crew pearl (old), J. Crew pave link (similar), Stella & Dot Renegade, ring: J. Crew, necklace: Etsy

Layering always gets tricky in the summer, you don't want to be too warm or too cool. As an Arizona girl, I usually layer on top in case I get too hot and need to remove a layer. The cooler weather in Pinetop inspired me to throw this chambray on underneath my favorite shift dress instead and it's now a favorite look. Definitely going to be layering underneath when headed to cooler climates from now on.

And who doesn't love a drop waist dress? I feel like they look good on most body types and are so feminine and comfortable. Get yourself one gals, I promise you'll love it!

So excited to be featured in the Three-fer Thursday blog hop seen here and here as well as on the Tres Chic Thursday Fashion Linkup :)

I lived in popovers and boyfriend jeans/shorts all weekend. Such a comfortable, easy, and instantly cute combo. Wear your favorite sandals during the day, then throw on wedges for an evening out and you're set. I love simple outfits like this, they make my life so much easier :)

Headed home from the pines today (sad), but excited for a BBQ with the fam and a week full of wonderful preparation festivities. Christian's sis is getting married Saturday and I leave for Hawaii with momma and the girls on Sunday, yay!

Needless to say I will be doing some bathing suit shopping (ugh), spray tanning, packing, manicuring, and gift buying. What does everyone have planned for the week ahead?

Remember to check out these giveaways: 1, 2, and to check out my sweet friend Amelia's blog.

Enjoy your Memorial Day pretties!

A Night Out

outfit details: dress: Old Navy, shoes: J. Crew (similar), bag: Prada (via Poshmark), necklace: Ann Taylor (old), sunglasses: Celine (via ebay), bracelets: J. Crew, Stella & Dot, rings: Ariella

As I mentioned in this post, Christian and I had a date night on Friday that was just glorious. We haven't actually treated ourselves to a dinner out in forever.

I picked this lovely dress up at Old Navy last week on major sale (marked down even more in store) and love that it can be so easily dressed up or down. I pretty much live in sundresses and lightweight skirts/button downs in the summer.

A Floppy Hat - Look What I Got!

outfit details: top: Nordstrom (similar), jeans: Gap (old), hat: BCBG (similar), sunglasses: Prada, shoes: Zara, bag: Prada, cuff: Forever 21 (similar), necklace: J. Crew

Two of my favorite things: floppy hats and peplums! Had some inspiration via the Kentucky Derby last weekend, if only I could've gone! ;)

I purchased this hat last week at BCBG and am so proud of my purchase, it was $10 (down from $65)! Pretty inexpensive for a high quality store. That's the benefit of buying out of season :) But who cares if it's a "winter" hat, I'm wearing it all summer long! Yay for great deals!

Happy Weekend pretties, what do you all have planned?
