May Flowers

Spring dress, flowers, a little breeze and so much sunshine! I started today in jeans and a long laced sleeved tee but quickly changed into this adorable dress! I'm literally sitting out back tanning today! Can this weather just stay please? It is absolutely perfect! Today's theme was bootleg jeans but since it's my list I can change it ;) So it's now May Flowers. I've seen so many style challenge lists on Instagram lately I almost wish I would have just copied a list. They all have such snazzy named themes for each day. When the challenge is over next week I'll post my list and try to snazzy up the list for you.

A little something about this dress and perhaps a little shopping problem of mine.... If I like something but can't decide which color I like more I have the tendency to just buy both options. I have this exact dress in dark blue but with yellow flowers. The long sleeved top I mentioned above...it's cream but I also have it in royal purple. Does anyone else do this? I think this started when I dragged my husband along shopping with me one time. I remember not being able to decide which boots I wanted more and he said "Just get both". What?!?! Ummmm okay! It's like opening Pandora's box in a way.

A little Sun and Makeup

Nothing like a little sunshine and makeup to turn the week around. Hopefully the rain and clouds will stay away for the weekend so the kids and I can play outside some more. Maybe we can get down to the beach again.

• It's Day 17 and "Newer Shirt" was the theme. I've worn this flower shirt before on our last day in Florida but with shorts. I'm glad to be able to wear it again today and without a jacket! I kept my accessories simple with a pink beaded bracelet, brown watch and some pink and gold hoop earrings. No necklace needed with this high necked top. 

Makeup is all Younique products except lipstick and eyebrows. 

Grayson's birthday planning update ahead! I'm so behind but I did finally manage to get a few things checked off my list. Date and time has been picked. Guest list has been finalized and now I just need to rush order the invitations! Decorations and food has also been decided on. We stopped by Michael's today and picked up a couple of items. They had an entire Mickey Mouse Clubhouse section! I still have lots to get. I'm not going to make to many things myself this time though. I'd usually feel some guilt about this but I'm okay with it. I just don't have as much time to make everything. 

Day 9: April Showers Bring May....

Rainy day here but I won't let that stop me from wearing this adorable off the shoulder flower shirt! "Flowers" is today's theme and the vibe of this shirt is perfect to brighten up such a cloudy gloomy day!

Paired with cuffed white skinny jeans, brown wedges and a simple blush and gold necklace, this outfit would be perfect for lunch with friends or even a dinner date with the hubby! 

Though this look is perfect for going out you could easily wear it with flats or sandals and a denim jacket to make it a little more casual!

Spring Ahead and Wear a Dress!



This season is filled with florals, lace, ruffles, and overall girly looks. I saw this dress at Francesca's, which if you haven't figured out yet is one of my favorite stores, and just had to have it. I'm loving the vintage feel of it. Used the last of my Christmas gift cards but I think it was well worth it. I have tons of dresses in my closet and try not to limit them to special occasions. Over the years I've constantly have gotten "Oh, why are you so dressed up?" to "Where are you going today?". Both these comments irritate me to no end. I have clothes in my closet for one reason....to wear. If I'm wearing a dress it shouldn't mean that I'm going out somewhere fancy. It just means that I want to wear a dress. Also, wearing a dress is so much easier to just throw on then to pick out jeans and a top. It's kind of like a cheat day fashion wise, don't you think? So when you are in a rush or maybe your jeans are in the wash, don't be afraid to pull out a dress. pair your dress with a cardigan, a jean jacket or even a leather jacket. Add boots, wedges or flip flops and maybe a necklace and some bracelets. The combinations and looks are endless. This floral dress would have been amazing with a cropped cream colored leather jacket but for some horrible reason I don't own one. I think that may have to go on my Christmas wish list!
