DIY Pom Pom Keychain

Surely, you have seen the brightly colored pom pom trend floating around on social media, not to mention in real life. If not, I am thoroughly surprised and wonder if you live under a metaphoric rock. It seems to be everywhere; on shoes, clothing, key chains, purses, etc. Cute, brightly colored balls of fluff, sign me up! So, I decided to make my own key chains to give as gifts to my friends, and lets be honest- to myself. These will also make great stocking stuffers in different "winter" colors. You can find all of the supplies needed at Michaels or your local craft store. I linked everything I used at the bottom of this post, including the video tutorial I learned from on youtube :)

Vibrant Summer Maxi Dress

Happy Ash Wednesday, and hope you're having a great week so far. I utterly adore this maxi, especially for in the heat of the summer. Today, I styled this vibrant maxi-dress with some darling accessories. Normally, I wouldn't go for something with such a busy pattern or so many shades. After trying it on, I found it to be perfect for so many occasions and you're sure to stand out. You could wear something like this for a day in the city, date night, church, or a summer picnic.

"Amish Dress" + Pink heels

I hope that you all had a wonderful memorial day week/weekend. It is super sad that it's already come to an end, because I loved every school-free moment. For me, the time off consisted of so many of my favorite things; fireworks, family, double dates, ice-cream, a beach day, naps, and a concert. Oh, to be on vacation forever, how sweet that would be. David (hubby) and I went to a concert on Wednesday to see one of my favorite bands, mewithoutYou.

 I wore this fun dress that I refer to as my "Amish dress", haha. I can't help but call it that because of the simple design and style of it. My dad actually used to live with an Amish family and I loved that they made their own clothes! You'll never guess where I got this neat piece....Goodwill. Yep, it was probably over five years ago, but I used to shop at thrift stores more and found many good items. I love that it elongated my short frame and makes me feel dressed up but still casual. Obviously, I changed my shoes into some comfortable moccasins before going into the concert. 

Have you found any pieces for a steal from thrift stores? Do Share them with me!

Thanks for stopping by!

Black Girly & Geometric Wedges

Happy Wednesday Y'all!  Hope you are having a great week and enjoying the weather. If you live anywhere near Florida, then you know that it has been gorgeous. I'm feeling super positive in spite of it being finals week, because it's almost over. Hallelujah! I am looking forward to a vacation in Asheville soon, taking less classes over the summer, and studying for my PCAT. 

About this outfit, I love all black because it hides my love for fatty foods, which I am really working on! But, there is something about feeling put together that makes me more productive throughout my day.  This top and these leggings are some of my favorite pieces in my closet.  Solid items are so versatile year-round and these ones in particular are super comfortable as well. These leggings aren't see through, which is my biggest pet peeve when it comes to leggings. Plus, they have a thicker waistband. I will be getting this top in another color asap because I love it so much! If you are too, I would size down because it is pretty long and flowy (I'm wearing a small) 

 

TOP: Nordstrom $27 (worth every penny!) / LEGGINGS: Lou & Grey / WEDGES: (similar here) / NECKLACE: (got this particular one at my work gift shop Lol) inexpensive one here and pricey but adorable one here

Thanks for dropping by!
