Pineapple Love.

Pineapples! I'm a longtime lover of this symbolic fruit and love that they are popping up on clothing everywhere. I found this cute tank at Target and paired it with my camo jeans. With a simple print, camouflage acts as a neutral. I added my black vest as an extra layer and some fun sandals to tie in the color of the pineapple. Happy Kicks for pineapple fashion!

Dress Remix.

I found this striped dress at Target recently and couldn't resist! You know I love a stripe! It has a zipper in the back which for some reason I did not have my husband take a picture of, but it adds a fun element to the dress. To change things up a bit, I belted the dress and wore it over a pair distressed jeans. A pair of statement sandals by Steve Madden and my jean jacket were the perfect add ons for my dress remix!

Great Lengths.

Perhaps the perfect summer piece...the maxi. It's loose, it's flowy, and if you find the right one it will hang just right. This maxi dress is from Old Navy. The short sleeve version is no longer available, but there is a similar tank style. I tied a long cardigan around my waist to deal with the AC and pulled out my favorite turquoise necklace again. My completed look included my big cognac bag from Zara and strappy sandals from American Eagle. Happy Kicks for a summer maxi!

Joggers.

I'm in green again. It's such a fun color especially in a loose, silk jogging pant. I love the side stripe in these pants as it adds a bit of interest to an outfit as well as a sporty vibe. I kept my outfit on the casual side by pairing the pants with a loose white tee. Sandals and a statement necklace gave it a little twist. I've found that the temperatures inside my school building are chilly with the AC running all the time so I've been bringing an extra layer. This chambray shirt was the perfect piece to tie around my waist as I headed out the door.

The Blondes.

A baseball tee plus hearts. Sporty plus girly. I love combining two things that are somewhat opposites. It sometimes makes the perfect outfit. Of course I couldn't pass up this tee from Stylemint. I would totally join a softball team called The Blondes! This skirt is so fun. A heart print and buttons down the back, kind of hard to see in the photo, but super cute! I don't always match my bag and shoes, but I couldn't resist pulling in this rich cognac color. I felt the two complimented each other so well. I love a large tote and this shopper from Zara is perfect to fit all of my purse items as well as my school paperwork. Happy Kicks for dressing up a sporty tee!

Mix It Up.

My first post in shorts! Thanks to some tanning lotion my legs don't look too scary! It was a beautiful weekend and we hosted my daughter's birthday party at the Botanical Gardens. I needed something cool and casual to wear since we spent most of the day outside. I love mixing patterns and these shorts were the perfect compliment to a black and white stripe. I find that stripes pair well with most prints as long as the colors coordinate. I bought my sandals several years ago but they were the perfect pair to slip on for a day at the gardens! Happy Kicks for a gorgeous weekend!
