Favorite Green Pants

February 15, 2018

And the week just keeps flying by. I almost started this post with a Happy Wednesday.... ummm no, it's Thursday!

I hope everyone had a Happy Valentines Day! I have noticed a hint of spring in store windows with fun pastels and that makes me very happy. Although, I know there will be about another month of transitioning; that means making the most of the items you have in your closet. I have really had fun reworking these green pants with so many different tops and sweater. If you don't have a pair of army green pants, I would definitely recommend you look for a great pair. These are from Loft, but I know Gap has some great slim fit pant too. Speaking of Loft, Ann Taylor has always been a favorite place for me to find great work wear pieces and the only store left open here has closed. I still like to shop in stores rather than always online; another store bites the dust in a world of online shopping. What are some of your favorite stores? Leave me a comment.

Embroidery Trends

February 12, 2018

bags

One of my favorite things to living in Florida was by far the dress code. I am all about the warmer months and loved the ease of throwing on a sundress, or a cute off the shoulder top. I cannot wait for spring and summer because this gal is suffocating in layers of winter. We have had a few spotty days of nice temperatures, thank heavens!

Embroidery has been showing up on several fashion items from jeans to tops this season, and this cute off the shoulder top has soft pastel flowers embroidered down the sleeves. The little ruffle at the cuffs is a fun little flare too! When I first bought this top I imagined it with white jeans and a colorful pump. I like the versatility to an item; dress up with a heel, or more casual as I share here with a flat leopard mule. Hang tight.... I will style this top with white jeans and colorful pumps and share it with you!

Buffalo check and leopard

February 07, 2018

Bracelets

We are half way through the week and I am busy working on my to do list for the weekend! Do you do that too? Working thought the week with a list a mile long of things to do over the weekend, only to find there aren't enough hours in those priceless two days to accomplish it all. It's good to have projects and with a new house I have plenty!

An all time favorite for me, pattern mixing at its finest! Who doesn't love a great check and leopard? This girl sure does! Throw in a bell sleeve and this is for sure a favorite combo of mine! There are girls that love stripes and then there are girls that love ginghams.... I fall in the middle and love them both!

I have been working on my goals for the year and I am putting plenty of thought into them. I have realized that you can put a bunch of ideas and dreams on a piece of paper, but without a plan as to how you expect to obtain those goals they are just words. I want more this year! More time for me, more travel... more laughter with friends.... and most importantly more thought into my journey. You see, the last year and moving to Florida, while I thought it broke me, has only made me see just what I am made of. I am fierce, brave, strong, and determined. I will continue to seek my toes in the sand, but this time more on my terms and my time. When the time is right.... my heart will know this time.

You are stronger. You are wiser. Even when it's hard to believe, allow yourself to show up allow yourself to breathe in all the chaos allow yourself to be here for no matter what happens this is still not last year.

Nautical stripes

February 06, 2018

bags

Happy Tuesday!! Today I am sharing one of the easiest combos I think that you can put together. It's hard to not think nautical when mixing up navy stripes.

Such an easy look to pull together. These army green pants will be a great staple to transition into spring with; and the sweater is sleeveless making it a perfect transition item too. Is it just me... or does it seem like winter is dragging on right now? I am desperately in need of more sunny days and less gray days. While living in Florida, I added so many summery items to my closet. Now, I just need the seasons to hurry up and change so I can enjoy all my sundresses. Come on spring... where are ya?

I have been slowly adding items to my wardrobe. When I purged my closet last year, and moved to what I would consider more of a "mono" climate... I mean let's be honest, Florida pretty much has one season. I panicked a little at what seemed like an empty, I have nothing to wear mentality when I look for something to wear everyday. How could I get so lucky (insert sarcasm here) to be working for yet again a healthcare organization with a no denim rule. To make matters worse for me, they have a stricter sandal policy. Boy am I going to have to go shopping! That's not such a bad thing now is it?!
