Orchid is a color

Tee: J. Crew // Skirt: Everly // Necklace: Bauble Bar (similar) // Sandals: Gianni Bini // Sunnies: Kate Spade

If you look closely in the background, you can see Bella peeping out the window. I just love my sweet girl :)

Evidently I like to pair shades of purple with this skirt... With lavender in this post and orchid this time! (At least I call this tee's color "orchid"...) Something about the pairing just works! 

Speaking of, look at my pretty orchid Tyler gave me! I've kept it alive for about two months now and I'm so proud especially since people have told me how finicky they can be! Now I just need to research on what soil it needs so I can re-pot it. Does anyone have experience with orchids?

I hope you all are having a wonderful week! Only 3 more work days to go 'til the 3-day weekend! Woop! 

Lavender + Mint

Blouse: Lilly Pulitzer (similar sleeveless version) / Skirt: Revive (similar) / Necklace: c/o LuLuLe / Earrings: LuLuLe  / Bracelet: J. Crew / Bag: Kate Spade / Heels: Gianni Bini 

This was my Memphis Fashion Weekend ensemble. It was a beautiful springy day, and I couldn't resist piling on the pastels and light, flowy fabrics. I found this skirt last year at a local Memphis boutique called Revive. There, my long search for a pleated mint skirt ended, and my mint obsession continued to grow. Revive is a relatively new addition to downtown Memphis with great prices and trendy items. Most of their clothes are a little too teen-geared or club-wear for my taste, but I got lucky with this skirt!

And because I'm not above laughing at myself... I think I almost fell.

I love a good blazer, mainly for their versatility. You can wear them casually with a pair of boyfriend jeans or dress them up paired with a elegant shift dress. My favorite of the two is casual, as I most often wear blazers with jeans. I loved this particular blazer because its stretchy knit fabric makes it so comfortable, yet it creates a more polished look when paired with ponte pants and a striped tee.

I wore this a couple Sundays ago to church. I was scheduled to take care of the children during the service, so I needed a comfortable outfit appropriate for chasing down kids!

In other news, look at these pretty pink blooms on the trees! Spring is almost here :)

Spring Dresses

neon: 1 / 2 / 3

printed: 4  / 5 / 6

lace: 7 / 8 / 9

With spring just around the corner and summer wedding season in only a few months, colorful dresses are big on my wish list. I can always count on Dillard's for a cute dress, so it comes as no surprise that I spent hours looking at colorful spring dresses last week. Among their wide selection of new spring dresses were lots of feminine lace, bold prints, and colorful neons. My favorites are 2, 6, and 9! 

Which are your favorites? I think I'll take them all :)
