… but the shoes were all wrong, so I cropped them out! This outfit stayed in my drafts folder for a while, but I loved the peaches, oranges, and pinks because they’re very fresh and summery so I just had to share, even if I’m a season behind. I also felt pretty clever that I made a DIY peplum top out of this flowy blouse, I just wish I had a lighter colored belt. I guess I can add that to my shopping list! Also, I may have already told you think but I bought this skirt in Los Angeles a few years ago when I was visiting my best friend, so this is my West Coast fashionista piece that makes me feel all fancy 😉

Top: miami via Francesca’s
Belt: Banana Republic
Skirt: Forever 21
Necklace: ModCloth

How adorable is this romper? I’ve been wanting one for a while and decided on this one because it’s so pretty! I love the floral pattern with the pop of orange in the flowers. It was too big on top when I bought it, as most tops are because I’m high-waisted, so I had to take it to the tailor. After impatiently waiting to get it back, I finally get to wear it. I think the brown strappy wedges give the outfit a fun and flirty look, and it could work for day or night.

And here’s the fun one: Yay for pockets!

I love clever puns and ModCloth is the queen of them. ‘Leaf Me Breathless’ is what they called this cutie-patootie flora and fauna dress when I purchased it a few years ago. It’s really light and flowy, and has become my go-to dress in the summer. Having a backyard barbeque? Let me grab my little green dress and sandals. Outdoor wedding? Little green dress with a blazer and wedges. Brunch on Sunday? Little green dress. Class on Tuesday? Little. Green. Dress. You get the picture. Also, the belt came with the dress and I’ve worn it with so many other outfits that e,ven if I didn’t wear the dress, the belt itself would have made the purchase worth it.

Here’s what it looks like without the cardigan:

And here’s the fun one:

This is the kind of thing you’ll find me in on a warm, Spring Sunday. It was in the 80s when I took these photos and it eventually got too warm for the scarf and it had to go. I mostly spent the day inside reading articles and book chapters in preparation for the week at school. The semester is surprisingly almost over and I can’t believe it! Just a few more weeks until finals and that doesn’t feel quite right. This semester has flown by!

This is our backyard and it needs so much work that it’s overwhelming. It looked so good for our wedding, but, of course, that was almost three years ago. Hopefully, we’ll be able to enjoy the yard this summer.

Also, ARMPIT!

And here’s the fun one: Please excuse me while I go crawl into that hammock!

This is the first outfit that formed in my head when I saw this shirt. I’m still afraid of pattern mixing but it’s getting easier, and more fun. And what I love about this outfit is that it has a little bit of everything: it’s fresh, feminine, floral, stripes, pink, drapey-shaped shirt, form-fitting pencil skirt, pearls AND pattern mixing! I think it is one of my new favorite outfits; I want to wear it everywhere. If only the weather would cooperate again, I would wear it everywhere.

 And here’s the fun one: who doesn’t love sitting on a bench all pin-up style? Oh, just me? Alrighty, then.
