On Saturday, we had a few people over for a day of grilling burgers and hot dogs, drinking beer, and playing cornhole and Cards Against Humanity in the back yard. We were outside for a good 12 hours, from noon to 1 AM. When we started, it was beautiful out, very sunny and warm so I wore this almost-halter top and shorts. Why does navy and pink look so good paired together? I seriously could wear this color combo every day.

As the day went on, I kept adding layers. First, this cardigan. The top and shorts alone are cute, but the cardigan adds a nice finishing touch to the outfit, which is what makes this (and any outfit) look so put together, in my opinion.

Then, the sun went down and I got a little cold so I put on my denim jacket. I put it on over the cardigan for a little extra warmth while we were playing some night-time cornhole. By the end of the night, I was wrapped up in a blanket because it got pretty cold.

We had a lot of fun this weekend, and probably drank too much beer, but it was nice to have a fun weekend before the summer school session gets going full-swing.

Happy Memorial Day, everyone!

How handsome is my husband?! Nick certainly isn’t afraid of white pants the way I am. He wore this outfit to one of his little brothers’ graduation dinner and ceremony in Atlanta. He knew it was going to be hot so he wore light colors for a cool, breezy outfit. I love the way he paired the light pink top and white pants with dark brown and navy accessories. You’ll be in some of the photos at the bottom that he added a navy blazer for a hint of summer sophistication. He’s definitely inspiring me to play around with my white pants more.

He rolled his pants legs up once because he wanted to “show a little more skin.” He’s so scandalous! 🙂

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

I know I’m a little late for a Mother’s Day post but here it is anyway! I usually see my mom {and dad} about once a month since I live several hours away from my hometown. When school started, my time with my parents was reduced to about once every other month when I would have a break. Needless to say, I was really glad I got to spend Mother’s Day with my mom. The family went out for an early dinner and then frozen yogurt, and kept it very low-key, so this is what I wore. My mom was just glad that we could all be together. Now I can’t wait for Father’s Day!

It’s been really hot and humid the last couple of days so I’ve been wearing shorts and skirts pretty much any time I go out. I wore this yesterday to run some errands and, in hind sight, the material of the top wasn’t that breathable so I probably sweated more than I needed to. But I sure looked cute when I got a  flu shot for my internship! You can see the bandaid on my shoulder in the photo below.

I got these sandals from Target a few weeks ago and, at first, I thought they would be cute with everything but now I second guess myself every time I put them on, including this time. But I made myself stick with them and I’m glad I did. I mean, they are really cute. What do you all think?

There’s something about these harem pants that make me feel edgy, even though they’re really tame compared to some  pants out there. Fun fact – when I’m feeling edgy, I wear my hair in a messy bun and put a bump in my bangs. I think I’ve said it before but these pants are so comfortable and I love dressing them up. I was going to wear this outfit to class but it rained, so I changed because I hate wet feet when my feet aren’t supposed to be wet! I can’t wait to wear this out to dinner or maybe to a show. OR even to class when it stops raining. Seriously, it seems like every Tuesday for the past 3 months has given us crappy weather, be it snow or rain, or just plain cold. Maybe someday my friends on campus will get to see this outfit. Until then, my internet friends will get to enjoy my edge.

And here’s the fun one:
