Adventurous Annis

2:39 PM

When i think of a great friend, I think of someone who is a caring, attentive and honest even when it's hard. If I had to choose someone who excels in all three of those areas, it would be Annis. She speaks with confidence and intelligence, she loves the Lord and as a fashion blogger I have to add that her style is "on point."

You can find her dress here and her bag here!

Sass and Stripes

9:32 PM

Keeping with the formal theme I've been doing lately, this striped dress, nude heels (last seen here) and blazer (which can also be seen here) were a perfect addition. They keep it classy for a business meeting or for a spring wedding. I also love the way that it comes in at the waist and creates an hourglass shape.

Boyfriend Jeans and Blazers

9:37 PM

Since the weather here in Minnesota is constantly changing, it can be difficult to choose an appropriate outfit these days. I find that I am either really cold or really warm, no middle ground.

For that reason, I chose an outfit that can include all layers in order to stay warm and have removable layers to stay cool. The floral top and jeans are casual while the tan blazer and nude heels dress up the outfit. I usually opt for a tight fitting pair (skinny jeans are a personal favorite of mine), but these boyfriend jeans from Old Navy allow movement while still keeping a straight up and down shape that elongates the legs.

I hope your week is going well and I hope everyone has a great Easter weekend!

Elegance and Elbow Patches

2:21 PM

Is it just me or does 20 degrees feel like -100 degrees? Maybe it’s because of the Mexico trip, but this winter feels extremely long and unusually cold! The awesome thing about doing a shoot inside is that the outside world can’t control what you wear. For this shoot, I focused on a simple timeless outfit. I wanted to incorporate these gray shoes I got at target ($3 clearance!) and this dusty blush colored cardigan (a trending color for spring!)

heck yes it has elbow patches!

Sweater - H & M

Skirt - Forever 21

Mexico Part 1: Fashion

5:57 PM

A month ago our family took a trip to Cancun, Mexico. It was my first time out of the country, and it did not disappoint! I promise that I will put the family pictures up (Keep a look out for Mexico Part 2!), but for now I want to talk about the fashion side of the story. Every other day, the resort (Shout out to Royal Solaris), would have a fashion show displaying their swimsuit/cover up options. Being the freak I am, I was a little too excited and had to capture the outfits.
