Festive for the Fourth!

Independence day, the historical day when our Declaration of Independence from Great Britain was approved, is soon to be upon us! What joy it brings me to see people decorating their porches with flags and signs of our beautiful country. I can't help but to become a little bit giddy this time of year; reminiscing of past barbecues with family, parades, fireworks, and playing in the pool with my cousins. This year I hope to have some equally memorable times, in Chicago, with my husbands side of family!

Yes, It's another off-the-shoulder dress, and I will continue to sport this style all year long. I also enjoy exhibiting wedges throughout the season, but you could pair a dress with some sandals by the pool or with heels for a night out. You don't necessarily have to wear the common "America" shirt to join in the festivities. Just dive into your wardrobe and see what items you have that would compliment our country colors. I'm always a fan of a red lip if  you have nothing else, get creative!

Thank You for checking in & I hope this inspired you to celebrate our great nation.

DRESS: Red, White, Blue / SHOES: Cork (& on sale) / HAT: Love This / SUNGLASSES: Chic 

Gotta Blast, God Bless!

A White Graduation!

Another Ash Wednesday (see what I did there?) is upon us! It's been a beautiful week thus far, completely due to myself and husband being on official vacation from school and work as of Monday. I was lucky enough to have my entire immediate family and my in-laws at my graduation ceremony and celebration. We ended up leaving the ceremony early because it was soooo long! P.F.Changs was calling to us, so we headed out and enjoyed the afternoon of food and family. I wore this adorable white dress for the occasion. It's actually the same one I wore to my bridal shower over a year and a half ago, so it also has sentimental value. In my opinion, light girly dresses are best for graduations so that they don't show through whatever your school color gown is and you don't get as hot. Plus, you can wear them again for a spring/summer date or special event. Windsor has so many cute options right now and I linked my favorites below!

How cute are my siblings?

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!
