How is it the middle of May?! My best friend got married last weekend (pictures to come!) and it was so magical – I was her maid-of-honor and it was way more emotional than I thought it would be. Memorial Day Weekend is coming up and then Bryan and I are heading back to Napa! Woohoo! With work being, well, work, I can be so lazy when it comes to putting outfits together. Yes, you may be thinking, uh, hello…you write a FASHION blog…how can you not want to put outfits together??!! Let me clarify myself. I hate spending too much time and energy putting outfits together. Life is busy and there are things to do, places to see, and people to meet. This girl doesn’t have time to rummage through racks of clothes. Hence, my go-tos for looking put together – easy dresses and great accessories.
Spring Update – Jean Jackets and Sneakers
ASOS Scalloped Mini Dress (wearing US 6 Petite)
BP. Denim Trucker Jacket (wearing an XS)
Gucci Ace Sneakers (runs big, I got a EU 34 = US 4.5!)
Hi Friends – it’s been a loooong time. Apologies are in order as I have been in a world of my own. I was gone for the majority of March, which was my birthday month, so I am taking over April…haha. I made my first trip, but not last, to the Motherland, Vietnam. It was an emotional, life-changing trip, and I can’t wait to share some more photos with you all!
My last post was in February and honestly, with the weather outside, we should still be wearing sweaters! But maybe by wearing Spring clothes, Spring will decide to officially stay. I am getting my Spring/Summer wardrobe together and this outfit is one of my favorites. Two of my favorite recent buys, my Gucci Ace Sneakers and BP. Denim Jacket, will be on the Insta constantly.
The Perfect Embroidered Dress – Free People Minidress
Another week has started, and I cannot believe how fast time is flying by! And oh my, has the weather in DC taken a turn. We are in full-blown summer mode and it is sweltering! This past weekend, I laid out by my pool, and could only sit for about an hour before I was roasting. But it has not been hot long enough for the pool water to be warm, so it was ice cold! What a dilemma! The end result? I went inside and laid on the couch while the ceiling fan was going…HA!
The Cutest Little White Dress – ASOS Smock Dress
In my continuing posts about little white dresses (LWD) for the warm weather, I bring you this ASOS Smock Dress. If I do say so myself, it is the cutest little white dress and I cannot wait to wear it for an afternoon of wine tasting or a fun day just hanging around the city. This dress has loose sleeves and a cute high waist, that I find very flattering. I also got it in Petite, so it fits perfectly and hits me right about my knees, so I don’t have to alter it. For $40, I think it is such a steal! The dress is ASOS brand, which I really like. ASOS sells lots of other brands, and the quality and price can greatly vary throughout the site. However, the ASOS brand is well-priced and the fabrics and designs usually look very high-end.
The Perfect Transitional Jacket from BLANKNYC
Hi Friends! While we are one step closer to Memorial Day Weekend, the weather seems to be going in the opposite direction. I talk about weather a lot on my blog, simply because it impacts what we wear each and every day! Brisk mornings, warm afternoons, and chilly evenings can sure send your mind into a tailspin as to what you should layer. But have no fear, I have found the perfect transitional jacket from BLANKNYC and it’s under a $100!
