Capsule Wardrobes

Long time, no post!

I've definitely been slacking on my posting on the blog since summer started (gotta love blogging burnout!) But, I was inspired to write a post after coming across the blog Unfancy. This blog documents Caroline's journey to nix cheap impulse buys and focus on creating wardrobe of versatile clothing she loved to wear.

So how did she do it?

My Favorite Spring Trends

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!

I know you're probably sick of all these spring-themed posts, but what can I say, the warm sun, blue skies, and blooming foliage is really lifting my spirits and inspiring me this year! And part of my love for the season is because of the breezy, colorful fashion, reminiscent of nature's beauty in spring. So today, I'm going to share some of my fave trends of the moment! While these trends have been swirling around the fashion world for quite a while now, I thing spring is a great time to wear them and implement them into your wardrobe!

blouse ○ necklace ○ horn beaded bracelet ○ lace-up gladiator sandals

As I said above, these trends aren't exactly "breaking news" and the tassel trend is no exception--they're everywhere! But, these cute little embellishments are here to stay for the time-being and are perfect for springtime. Charming Charlie has TONS of beautiful pieces featuring tassels, and all at a very affordable price point. (My personal fave is this beautiful beaded necklace--great quality and only $18!) and these turquoise tassel earrings from Francesca's.

gold-heel accent ○ snake-skin detail ○ sleek nude ○ lace-up

Low-heeled sandals are perfect in so many ways and probably one of my favorites (if not my favorite) shoe silhouette. They offer the dressiness of a heel and the comfort of a sandal, making them perfect for just about any occasion. My personal favorite is this simple brown sandal from Seychelles. They are a bit pricey for me, but it's always great to invest in well-made, classic items and a pair of brown leather sandals is essential!

lace-up (25% off at bloomingdale's right now) ○ bell-sleeve ○ ruffled

Breezy long-sleeved blouses are perfect for staying cool in the sun, but offer more coverage than a tank top during chillier spring mornings and evenings. I personally love these kinds of tops when visiting the beach during a cooler time of the year. My favorite has to be this beautiful lace-detail bell-sleeved blouse by Sun and Shadow.

Thanks for reading everyone!

{What I Wore Today} Thrift Shopping

○ top: TJMaxx (similar) ○ jeans: H&M ○ boots: charlotte russe (Sold Out, similar here)○ necklace: charming Charlie (similar) ○ hat: local boutique (similar) ○ sunglasses: Elie Tahari (cheaper similar pair here)

Hey guys! So today's look was created to be comfortable and fashionable (my favorite combination!) for a day of thrifting in Birmingham. It's pretty simple, but I love this outfit.

We're having our annual end-of-winter cold snap, so today called for this long sleeved gray top, jeans, and ankle boots. I accessorized with this cute new burgundy floppy hat and a layered tassel necklace. If I could change one thing about this outfit, however, I would have added a belt to complete the look.

Spring Break Essentials

Long time no see! 

I must apologize for my absence this past month and a half...this semester combined with working has proven to eat up a lot more time than anticipated! But I'm going to try the get this thing back on a roll...

Here in Alabama, the weather has begun to show signs of spring, and you know what that means...the (much-needed) spring break is upon us! Even if you're not jetting off a sunny, tropical paradise, now is a great time to stock up on all your spring staples, including vibrant hues, breezy lace, and lots of florals, of course.

Without further ado, here are my spring break must-haves:

tassel crossbody ○ floppy hat ○ high-neck bikini top ○ platform wedges ○ colorful bracelet set
reversible tote ○ turquoise drops ○ tiered romper ○ tassel shorts

Wherever you're jetting off to this spring, these items will you stylin' without melting in the heat. I am obsessed with this beautiful tiered lace-edge romper from ASOS. It's perfect for a summer barbecue or a day of shopping. Accessories like this floppy sunhat and big brown tote are also no-fuss ways to make your beach-going experience a lot more pleasant.

There you have it! Bon voyage!
