For date night, Nick and I went to the movies and then to a casual dinner, our favorite (or at least, most frequently occurring) date night activity. He hates horror films, but somehow I was able to convince him to see the remake of Carrie. The movie was decent. Chloe Grace Moretz did a good job as Carrie, but I think Julianne Moore stole the show as Carrie’s uptight, albeit a little crazy, mother.  He’s never seen the original but I assured  him it was better.

I’m still not sure where Autumn is around here. It was in the low 70s and, even though I brought a jacket, I didn’t really need it.

Seriously, how cute is this necklace?

What is your favorite date/girls/guys night activity? How do you usually dress for it?

This is the outfit I wore to a Women’s Leadership Luncheon the other day. If it weren’t unseasonably warm here, I would have paired it with a leopard scarf and maybe a black blazer. As for the luncheon, truth be told, I wasn’t impressed with the speaker, as I felt her talk was the exact opposite of leadership but that’s a post for another time. The lunch was pretty tasty, though: tuna salad and a baked potato bar. Plus, it was free so I won’t complain!

Can we just take a moment to talk about this skirt? I am LOVING it. It’s so comfortable and my favorite thing about it is you can dress it up or down. I feel like I can wear it to a luncheon but also pair it with a cute tee and wear it to class. And it has pockets. I love pretty much anything with pockets.

If you look closely, you can almost make out the snake skin pattern on the belt, which adds an interesting texture to the overall outfit.

What would you wear to a leadership luncheon?

There was supposed to be sunshine today, which would have made my photos look much better, but c’est la vie. Instead, you get crazy pants photos! They’re a plaid/gingham pattern (I’m still learning the difference between the two) and were part of the Spring Mad Men collection at Banana Republic. Since I’m wearing this ensemble to class (and because it’s still a little chilly outside from no sun light!), I decided to dress it down a bit by pairing it with the denim jacket.

Bag: Target

The shirt looks blueish but it’s actually a soft kelly green, so I added a green bag to go with the soft green of the shirt; keeping it all in the same color pallet.

Here’s the nice detail of the pants. See, they’re not too crazy. But seriously, don’t stare at this photo too long because it might hurt your eyes!

Close up of the necklace. I LOVE this thing. I get the most complements on it. Apologies, again, for the lighting. This necklace is a slightly darker gray in person. But still beautiful!

What’s the craziest thing in your closet? How often do you wear it?

Only twice have I purchased a specific item that was featured on a blogger’s website, mostly because I just don’t have enough money to buy everything I see that I like. Back in December, I pinned this awesome outfit from Bows and Sequins because I loved how she paired the sequin shirt with a plaid button-front, making it a little more casual yet still glamorous. I quickly started a search for a sequin shirt so I could recreate this outfit. Almost a year later I still hadn’t found a sequin shirt that I love. Until now!  I’ve driven by this cute little thrift shop on my to the gym for a while and finally decided to stop and go in. After looking over the entire store, I land on the EXACT SEQUIN SHIRT FROM THE PIN! Y’all, I am never this lucky and I felt like I hit the pinspiration jackpot! I snatched it up and purchased it immediately.

My husband and I attended a college football game this weekend, and their colors are red, white, and black, so I decided to wear this outfit. My husband took the first photo and his priority was to get the wolf statue in the background (the school’s mascot) and neglected to get my shoes. I’ve included a photo of them below. They’re just simple little flats.
