Happy Spring! We made it! I'm already on board with a brand new color palette as you can tell! Bring on the brights! There's no better mood booster than bright colors and a wardrobe refresh. Ok maybe one thing...freshly colored locks. A girl's gotta take care of herself.
Anyways, meet AMI Clubwear. The destination of which this awesome, Spring-y dress came from.
Read MoreOften I reach for simple because it takes everything in me to pull it together in the morning. Simple frocks and heels can buy you a ticket into just about anywhere. As exhibited above. It's a basic tee dress "simply adorned" with a strong statement necklace and a bold lip. That's it. No sartorial miracle there.
Read MoreI think the trick to Spring is mastering the art of layering. At least in Chicago it remains true. One day it's 70, the next it's 40. Either way, I've learned to make good use of my closet!
Read MoreMorning fashionistas! Today I'm participating in a trend linkup with Living in Color + Stylin' in St. Louis! The trend du jour for #Spotlight Weekly is how to style stripes! One of my absolute favorites...especially as the temps warm up. There's nothing better than Breton stripes and a bright skirt. I hope you'll join in and pay a visit to the creators of this fun, weekly linkup!
Read MoreYes, it's another full length skirt...BUT who can resist a good polka dot? And hello, it's $35. So yes, I will find an occasion to wear it. Even on a Tuesday. You may recall the poppy version of it here.
Read MoreI want to thank each of you for sending positive vibes and prayers after reading yesterday's post. Yesterday was extremely difficult and today proves to be a continuation but I am in search of the small signs from our dog, Lucy. She is resting in heaven with all of our favorite loved ones and her suffering is no longer...which is ultimately the most important thing.
Still, I miss her greatly. The things that used to frustrate me...I now crave. It's funny how that works. Yet another reminder to never take anything for granted.
Read MoreHappy Monday! I'm happy to report that it's warm, sunny and it looks like health has once again restored in our family. Thank baby Jesus!
Onto business...you remember my post on thredUP, right? Well, I'm back with another outfit. This dress! This time I scored an adorable Rebecca Minkoff number that I sported with tights here but fully intend to rock bare legs come Spring!
Read MoreI realize these photos see somewhat of a parody. Spring dress...snow on the ground. Eck, what can I say...when you're done, you're just done! Plus, when you find a cute flamingo dress; you wanna wear it!
Read MoreThe title of this post is very apropos. First we have a 50 degree Friday, next we have a 35 degree Sunday. Further reminding us that winter hasn't completely flown the coup quite yet. One last jolt to make you appreciate the beauty that is Spring.
I write this post with some tugging at the heart strings. Earlier this week my littlest had the stomach flu. Saturday I got body slammed by it crippling me to my bed for an entire day. Yesterday I boarded a plane for a business trip to Austin...that's just when I got the news that my husband and oldest daughter got body slammed by that very same stomach flu. So...here I am...in another state feeling helpless and all together worthless while 50% of my precious bunch is suffering.
Uggg...another reminder...winter is not over...not quite yet.
