All of my red, white, and blue is taken care of in this skirt. Done and done! I didn’t decide what I was going to wear until the day of because I knew it was going to be hot and we were going to be outside for a baseball game, so I wanted to be comfortable. This skirt is surprisingly comfortable, and the white tee was really simple but cute. I “tied” it to add a little interest. I actually think I was a little more patriotic, as far as colors go, in the winter when I wore this skirt with a red sweater. I probably would have worn it with a red t-shirt, if I had one!

I wore these earrings because I thought they had some red in them, but, as Nick pointed out, they look more purple than red. A deep burgundy, maybe? Eh, either way, still cute.

I say I “tied” this tshirt because I really just balled it up and secured it with a hair tie. I did this because if I actually tie it, it will stretch and then fit funny (I learned that the hard way with another tshirt) but if I secure it this way, it isn’t quite as bad. This tee is from Old Navy, but I have a few similar ones from Target and I can tie those all day long and they’re just fine after. So, points for Target.

Here’s the fun one because of the face I’m making. I love it! I’m pretty sure Nick gets this face all the time – I was probably asking if he was done yet or something of the sort.

Top: Old Navy
Cami: Target
Skirt: Banana Republic
Sandals: Target
Bracelet and Earrings: Old Navy
Necklace: Claire’s (old)

This is what Nick wore to the Food Truck Rodeo. A nice, casual outfit for eating greasy food truck fare. Red is Nick’s signature color, so it’s not surprising that he picked these; it also just happens to look really good on him!

He also broke out his new Sperrys. He’s been wanting a pair of casual shoes that he could wear with shorts and tees instead of his loafers, but that were also age-appropriate. I think these look great and he really likes them, too.

Tee: Gap
Shorts: Banana Republic
Bracelet: Via Bespoke Post
Shoes: Sperry 

We haven’t forgotten about Menswear Mondays! We’ve been super busy but we’re back now. Here, Nick is wearing khaki shorts with a plaid short sleeved button up and brown loafers. Nick looks great in any color but, lately he’s been wearing a lot of reds, pinks, salmons, and other reddish colors. That’s probably because red is his favorite color.

Anyway, he said it was nice to finally to wear shorts! His advice for wearing loafers with shorts is to wear socks. If you go barefoot, your feet are likely to sweat and get stinky. He found some great loafer socks and he wears them all the time, now that the weather is nice. If you look closely at his feet below, you’ll see a hint of the socks peeking out. They’re maroon and match the rest of his outfit. So make sure your loafer socks match the rest of what you’re wearing!

Since Gretchen Weiner is supposed to stop trying to make fetch happen, I’ll just have to say that my new spring blouse and clutch are clutch. Or awesome/cool/amazing/etc. . But seriously, I LOVE this clutch; it has a removable chain strap so it can either be a clutch or crossbody bag. Perfection as a bag.

There are so many spring colors going on in this outfit: pink, orange, green, blue, yellow, purple… and you can never go wrong with pearls. What I’m most excited about is that I’m able to wear this top with so  many of my blazers. Here I’m wearing it with pink, but I can also wear it with coral, navy, and ivory blazers, as well – all of which I have. I have a lot of blazers. I wore this outfit to a meetingwith my professor about possible internships this summer. Fingers crossed that something turns up!

This clutch is clutch!

This is not a suit. It looks likes one, though, which is great because it works really well as a spring/summer interview or office outfit without having to spend a ton of money on an actual suit. All you need is black crop trousers (or slacks) and a black blazer, and just about any blouse would look excellent with it. The secret is to make sure the blacks match as closely as possible. For this outfit, both the blazer and trousers are from Banana Republic so I was pretty confident they would be the same color.

By the way, I’m loving this blouse. Nick picked it out and surprised me with it and it’s perfect for spring, really comfortable, and really versatile. I can’t wait to wear and style it more.

Sometimes you just need to walk barefoot in the grass!
