Sparkle and Flow.


The chambray shirt. It goes with everything. You can wear it with a casual outfit or something more dressy. I went dressy today with these great flowy pants. I tied my shirt at the waist to play up my shape and of course popped the collar. The final touch ~ this fab sequin clutch. I saw several versions of this clutch on Pinterest and knew I had to find one. After searching around I found one on an online boutique. I love carrying it with both dressy and casual outfits. A little sparkle never hurts!

Gingham + Green.


Navy and emerald green is such a great Spring color combination. Add a gingham check and it's even better. This is another simple, casual outfit that I paired with my favorite New Balance sneakers. These sneaks are getting a lot of miles because I've been able to wear them with a variety of outfits ~ pants, skirts, dresses, you name it. My pants are from GAP and they are the skinny mini skimmer style. This pretty green color is no longer available but they have other great colors still.

Tuxedo Stripe.


One of the best combinations is a great pair of khakis and a comfy white tee. I love the tuxedo stripe on these Andie chinos from J. Crew. It gives a dressier feel to a relaxed pant. I added a pair of high-heeled sandals and a striped sweater to play off the tuxedo stripe. Simple jewelry finished my look. An easy look with simple pieces.

A Tee & Sneaks.


A quick post tonight featuring a casual outfit from last week. I kept it simple with a graphic tee, railroad stripe skirt, and sneaks. My bag added a pop of color and of course a statement necklace added a little sparkle. 

I had a fantastic weekend with my family celebrating three birthdays! I definitely needed some quality time with them and now the countdown until summer break is officially on! Happy kicks for that!

Tribal.


So it is safe to say that I am slightly obsessed with my jean jacket! After looking back over the past few posts, I realized it has shown up quite a bit. I guess that just goes to show what a versatile piece it is to have in your wardrobe. Mine is at least 10 years old and I have never gotten tired of it! On another note, how ah-mazing are these tribal pants? I mean! They were a steal at Target and I can't wait to rock them this summer with a crop top and wedges. For school, though, I kept it more conservative with a graphic tee and statement necklace, and of course my mules from French Connection that you can barely see because of the length of the pants. A bright clutch and some fun bracelets were the finishing touch!

Brights.


Wearing some of my summer favorites in this outfit! Bright colors and lace. The temperatures have been so hot over the past few days that I feel like we've completely skipped over spring. So, in order to stay cool, I went for a summery vibe by pairing two bright colors with a breezy skirt and straw bag. Coral colored earrings and a leopard belt were my fun extras. Of course, I couldn't leave without my denim jacket...I have to deal with the AC inside. I'm looking forward to styling more summer outfits in the near future!

Denim & Print


Easy breezy in another jumpsuit today. I love the ease and comfort of this printed number. It's strapless which is nice in the summer, but for school I threw on my denim vest. A pair of wedges, my straw bag, and some fun jewelry gave this jumpsuit a beachy feel. Now, if only I were actually headed to the beach! Only 23 more school days though! Happy Kicks for that!

Orange Cream


I love the combination of orange and cream. The neutral creams of my outfit really are the orange pop. My new oxfords worked well to keep my orange skirt the center of my outfit. Of course I added my jean jacket as an extra layer and a clutch to finish the look.

Kimono.


A quick post tonight from a frazzled teacher and mom! Our state testing is days away and this is always a hectic time of year for me. Not to mention that we celebrated my sweet son's 4th birthday yesterday! So exciting! Anyway, I'm in a kimono and boyfriend jeans today for a simple and casual look. Although my lace up sandals add a little flair! Happy Kicks!
