Memorial Weekend Recap + My Favorite Maxi Dress

Collective Concepts dress, ancient Aeropostale denim jacket, Target belt (similar), J. Crew inspired necklace via eBay, Target clutch, JoJo Loves You earrings c/o, J. Crew bracelets, Vince Camuto heels, kate spade sunnies

I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! Mine went by entirely too quickly :)

Friday evening we went out for Mexican and Saturday was spent enjoying downtown Memphis & cheering on the Grizzlies! Sunday we went to church, had an outdoor lunch, took the pups to the park, napped, & grilled steaks, and Monday, we ran errands, went to the movies, and went to the Majestic Grille to celebrate a secret accomplishment I can't reveal just yet :)

The weather was gorgeous and I kind of regret not spending every minute by the pool... What did y'all do on Memorial Day weekend?

This dress is already on heavy rotation and it's not even officially summer yet! I picked it up at a boutique in Charleston last year, and while it's a size too big, I just couldn't pass it up! I predict you'll be seeing a lot of it this summer!

Thank you for reading! 

Neutral Party

Coat: J. Crew (similar) / Sweater: J. Crew / Cords: J. Crew (on sale!) / Heels: Vince Camuto 

Anyone who knows me knows how much I adore bright colors and how I always gravitate toward bright pink as opposed to black. However, there are days when the mood strikes me just right and I wear neutrals head to toe. This isn't a frequent occurrence so I felt it only made sense to document it. Plus I got this sweater for $2.92 and couldn't wait to share it.

These photos were taken before I got our new camera, so please forgive me for posting such low-quality photos... It was after I saw these that I decided we needed a better camera! (The more I say "camera" in my head, the weirder it sounds.) Do you ever say words over and over and they start to sound different? Camera camera camera. It sounds like something a celebrity would name their baby. OH! Speaking of celebrity babies, go read Suri's Burn Book now. It's hilarious. You will be entertained for hours.

So, what's your preference? Are you a Neutral Nancy or a Bright Betty? (This is slightly ironic considering my mother is Nancy and I'm pretty sure the word "neutral" isn't in her wardrobe vocabulary).

Have a fantastic day :-)
