I’ve been thinking a lot about my style lately because I have a closet full of clothes that I haven’t worn in a while. As I reassess, I’m finding that I’m drawn more and more to neutral colors, especially white, with maybe a splash of color in the form of an accessory or blazer/jacket. I’ve never really been into wearing a lot of bright colors or patterns togethers for fear of looking like a crayon box (some folks pull it off very well, but I don’t feel that I am one of them) so I usually steer clear. I chose this tank with geometric patterns etched in to give the outfit a little more interest, and the hat is super cute, too.

Also, this is about as boho as you’ll see me get. I even wore this outfit to the farmers’ market last week.

Nick was playing around with shots and got this really cute one:

Is there any better color combination than coral and blue? Maybe there is, but I sure like this one. I wanted more loose, flowy tops and I automatically paired it with this coral and blue scarf. Then I realized I wore this color combo with the same scarf here. This top looks great with other colors, too. I’ve also worn it with a floral scarf and cognac flats but I don’t have photos of that one yet. The weather has been so nice lately that I’ve worn this outfit to school, and out to lunch, and to the grocery store. I’ll probably even wear it again soon!

Can we talk about these flats for a minute? I wear them with everything because they look great, and I get really sad when it rains because I don’t want to get them wet. But they’re pretty much perfect. PERFECT!

And here’s the fun Blooper: Nick always takes pictures of me fixing my pants/shoes/something on my outfit!

Let’s hear it for Spring Break!

This week is my last spring break ever, which is awesome because that means school is almost over forever. It also means that Nick and I are heading to Savannah, GA tomorrow for a nice little four-day vacation. I’m really excited to get away for a romantic week with my lovey dovey. It’s been a really long and difficult two years of graduate school for us because I’ve had to spend most of it away from home, commuting to school (which is almost 2 hours away). This trip will give us a few days to ourselves, without having to worry about school or work or who is going to load/unload the dishwasher after an exhaustingly long day. The only thing I’m NOT looking forward to is packing because I’m a notorious overpacker. For as long as I can remember, I’ve overpacked for every single trip I’ve taken. I’m not even joking. One time we went to the beach for a week and I had at least three different bags full of clothes. As I’ve gotten older, however, I’ve gotten a little better at planning out a full itinerary so I will know what we will be doing and can pack/dress accordingly.

This trip is no different. We’re planning to eat at yummy restaurants, go on a nighttime ghost walk, see the sights, do some shopping, and possibly take a moonlight riverboat cruise. That all sounds easy enough to pack for, but the one thing throwing me off is that it’s supposed to rain all week. Boo, rain! Anyway, I’ve challenged myself to pack light for this trip. Everything has to fit into this weekender bag I purchased from Target:

I’ve chosen four shirts, two pairs of pants, and two pairs of shoes. I’ve only decided on one accessory (for now) which is a scarf. I’ll throw some jewelry in there last-minute, like usual

I also plan to pack my rain gear (e.g. trench and/or rain coat and rain boots) and a skirt or dress in case we make it to a fancy dinner or that riverboat cruise, but I haven’t decided on which dress yet because I still have to get my spring clothes out of storage.  Here are some of the outfits I’ve put together with my chosen items so that I have some options and can work with the rain.

I know these photos aren’t exactly Pinterest-worthy, but I took them  as I was putting outfits together and figuring it all out. I think they serve their purpose. Maybe next time I’ll be a little more organized and get better photos. I will say I’m actually really glad that I decided to post about this because it has helped confirm some of my choices!

Yes, that is my dog, Mia’s little butt/leg in the corner of this photo!

I can’t make any promises that I won’t add a bunch of stuff at the last minute (my brain is already screaming at me, “oh my gosh, you forgot to include a cardigan in case it’s a little chilly!) but I will do my best. I’ll try to get lots of outfit photos while I’m there so you can see how it all came together. I hope everyone has a great week and you all are enjoying the great thaw 🙂

What do you wear when you only leave your house to run a quick errand? A sweater, distressed skinnies, and to pull it all together, you throw a scarf on it. I love to keep it simple. In fact, it seems as though my wardrobe is slowly creeping toward more minimalistic than anything else. But, I love the pop of pink from this scarf and it’s really warm. I wore this outfit a few weeks ago before the snow and ice came, when the sun was still warm. Can it please be spring now?

Oh, look, I’m wearing my sparkle sweater again. Sometimes I’m not really sure about a clothing purchase I make, meaning I have ideas about how I’ll wear it but, in the back of my mind, I worry that it’s far enough out of my comfort zone that I won’t really wear it as often as I plan. I felt that way about this sweater when I first bought it. Don’t get me wrong, I was excited about it and thought it was really cool and looked great, but at the same time, the open back  scared me. However, quite the opposite has happened: it has become my go-to when the whether is cold. I love that I can dress it up or down and wear practically anything under it. This is one of my favorite ways I’ve worn it so far. It’s cool and casual, and edgy. And I like it a lot! I wore this outfit to lunch with Nick and to run errands and to the grocery store.
