Let’s Escape

It seems a lot of readers and friends are headed somewhere warm, and although I’m not, I have seen a TON of cute things for warmer weather! So on a particularly dreary day here in Houston, I decided to escape by coming up with some warm weather outfits for you guys! I loved picturing all of you looking so cute and feeling so good in your cute warm weather outfits! I literally want everything E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. in this post.

Dress- Rhode Resort or I love this one, too, Earrings- Mochi, Bag- Nannacay, Sandals- TKEES

Is your head spinning with all this cute stuff?!?! Mine is! What I love about all of these items is that they can be mixed and matched, and they can also be worn beyond your vacation- all spring and summer long. Maybe I should make this my summer wardrobe -ha!

 

All The Ways I Wouldn’t Normally Think To Wear A Jacket

I must admit, I used to put way too much thought into wearing jackets. I would think things like, “I can’t wear this jacket, it doesn’t match my outfit. I can’t wear this jacket, the shirt under is too bulky and/or long for the jacket. I can’t wear this jacket, it’s too casual for the outfit.” I was overthinking it! I was reminded of all of these thoughts when I was getting dressed on this day. I love my new ruffle sweatshirt, and for half a second I thought, I can’t wear a jacket over my ruffle sweatshirt because it’s too bulky and the jacket will cover the ruffle. Well, I’m glad I’ve given up my overthinking tendencies for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is style. For one, it’s liberating, but it’s also stylish. Some of the most stylish women you see throw things together out of necessity, and not only does it work, but it looks effortless and chic. Check out all the ways I wouldn’t normally think to wear a jacket but that look so on point:Outfit Links: Jacket- Michael Kors for similar, Sweatshirt- Love, Fire, Pants- Here and here for similar, Shoes-Kenneth Cole for similar, Sunglasses- Celine, Watch- Kate Spade
