I hope you had a great Easter weekend!  My family always gets together for brunch/dinner and we usually spend the day reconnecting.  I'm very close to my parents and appreciate any time we can spend together.  We all get so busy that it is great to spend quality time together.   I hope you were able to enjoy the weekend as well.

I bought this dress during the last big Piperlime sale and while I really like it, I was a little surprised at how short the under skirt is!  I'm only 5'2 and this dress would be indecent on someone much taller than me.   It was final sale, but thankfully it was such a great deal.  I'm sure I can find a few places to wear it over the spring/summer.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

I'm normally a pants/jeans girl, but sometimes a dress just speaks to you.  I found this dress at the end of season sale at Neimans for an amazing price and am finally breaking out now that spring is here.  The color is so rich and the scuba-like materials is very flattering.  This is my first Rebecca Taylor dress, but probably not my last, especially if I can find another one for such a great price!

I hope you had a great weekend!  I feel like I've been running for the past few weeks, so I took this weekend to relax.  I had a massage on Saturday, where I fell asleep and started snoring on the table....  I guess that means I was really relaxed!  Afterwards I caught up with friends at Community Smith and discovered my new favorite dessert, popcorn ice cream!  It is the perfect blend of sweet and salty and I'm not even a big ice cream fan.  

I've ditched the winter coats (well, the Georgia version of a winter coat), and am transitioning to spring.  I've worn this vest before on the blog but it is the perfect piece to toss on as the warms up (and hopefully stays this way!).

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Sometimes all you need is a statement piece to elevate your basics.  A grey sweater and boyfriend jeans has the potential to be a little too simple, but this necklace (and red lipstick) elevates them to anything but boring.  I've had my eye on this necklace for several weeks and finally decided to treat myself for my birthday at the end of January.  It is heavy but I love it.  Sometimes you have to #treatyoself!

I'm keeping it short today since it has been a very busy week at work (and I'm still writing some of my posts the night before they go live...).  I'm sorry if it seems like another day, another black and white outfit around here.  I just can't help myself!  As soon as it warms up, I promise color will come back into my wardrobe.  In the meantime, this amazing BaubleBar necklace (which is back in stock!) is perfect as my pop of color.

Purse: Old Navy, more colors

Earrings: Baublebar

Happy Hump Day!  We all know that I have a slight thing for stripes (see here, here, here... well, you get the idea!), but all of a sudden this love has expanded to include dots.  I'll be honest that I always thought of dots as juvenile, but this skirt proves that dots have grown up.  

What do you guys think of the dot trend?

Topshop Stripe Dress

Dress: Topshop (green version)

Clutch: Kate Spade via Nordstrom Rack, similar, last seen here

Shoes: Saint Laurent, cheaper option

Earrings: BaubleBar, love this pair and this pair

Bracelets: BaubleBar (here, here), C. Wonder, sold out

From the moment I saw this dress, I knew I had to have it!  Unfortunately, I first ordered the wrong size and by the time I received it, my true size was sold out.  After patiently waiting for it to come back in stock, I finally found it in my size and on sale!  Given how popular this dress was I didn't expect them to mark it down and they quickly realized their mistake, but not before I was able to grab one in the right size on sale!  This is my first Topshop purchase, but probably not my last.  I can't rave about this dress enough. The dress is beautiful, the fabric is very weighty and holds its shape beautifully.  Sometimes the shopping gods just smile on you!

Have a great day!

Monochromatic Blue

Top: BCBG, similar

Skirt: Maje (I also like this one)

Necklace: Bauble Bar

Shoes: Saint Laurent

Clutch: Banana Republic, old

I initially was going to share my spring wish list and the trends I'm most excited for for spring, but work got the better part of me today and it was just easier to share one of my new favorite outfits.  

I've wanted to try a monochromatic look for a while now as I've slowly been moving away from black and white (very slowly...).  I picked up this top and skirt a few weeks ago at the end of season sale at Bloomingdales and have been patiently waiting for it to warm up enough to wear them.  It may not really be warm enough yet, but I'm sick of winter, so I decided to bring them out.

Blue is growing on me as I've always been more of a pink person, but I loved the lace and peplum of this top and the beautiful color of this skirt.  The different textures break up the color nicely.  I paired them with my favorite pumps (I didn't show the back detail, but it is my favorite part of these shoes!) and my new favorite Bauble Bar necklace, which I get so many compliments on!  I added a jacket to make it slightly more work appropriate (my office is very casual and very fashion-forward) and if I got cold during the day (which always happens!).  I can't wait for it to get warmer to wear this outfit without the jacket.

I hope your week is going well!
