Plaid Layering

Kohl's flannel, clutch, and necklace, Forever 21 sweater and jeans, Rock and Republic pumps

Oh, a Monday morning after a crazy weekend is exactly that: a Monday morning. And by that I mean, no groceries in the house, barely any clean laundry, and blaming the alarm clock for being late--even though we all know you hit the snooze one too many times. But, it's these kinds of mornings that keep me going--When I know I can handle the crazy when it gets to be too much. It's having something to hold on too--a perfect memory, an extraordinary day in the middle of all the ordinary, or a special someone's smile--that keeps us moving forward on these frantic mornings. 

Happy February, friends! Here's wishing you a month filled with love, lots of reds and pinks, and obnoxiously socially acceptable amounts of chocolate!

Weekend Wear

Kohl's polka dot chambray, H&M white jeans and sunglasses, Old Navy flats, Forever 21 earrings, Michael Kors white watch

I wore this outfit last week for a day of full of shopping, eating, and movies. I'm pretty sure it was a Tuesday, but I woke up thinking it was a weekend. I even had brunch on said Tuesday afternoon. The days all seem to blend together in the summer, and every day feels like Saturday, so why not dress (and eat) like it? White pants, breezy button downs, and colorful flats have been my go-to weekend wear this summer. Or everyday wear, I guess, since I apparently can't tell the difference between Tuesdays and Saturdays anymore. 

On a side note, this chambray is my new favorite top and it matches with just about everything! I have been looking for the perfect chambray for as long as I can remember. When I found this one with tiny white dots--well, you know me and polka dots-- it had to come home with me. 

Happy Monday everyone! Is it the weekend yet??

Maxis in Mint

Forever 21 dress and earrings, Abercrombie and Fitch denim jacket, Love Culture bag

I have a weakness for maxi dresses. And the color mint. So, obviously this dress had to come home with me last Thursday. I love how versatile it is; I wore it casual for a day of shopping and family time, but I'm also planning to dress it up with a white blazer and some heels soon. 

It's pouring rain this morning, and I'm reminiscing back to this flowy maxi dress (if four days ago counts as reminiscing) and the 85 degree weather that I was so ungrateful for at the time. We always just want what we can't have. Except I wanted the dress, and now I have it. So I guess I can't really complain.

Appreciate all the good you have while you have it :) Happy Monday!
