White Denim

Shirt- Marshall's (similar), Jeans- Charlotte Russe (similar), Sandals- Zara, Wrap Bracelet- Forever 21, Sunglasses- Forever 21

We're almost to the point in Texas when wearing jeans is miserable. I've lived here practically my entire life, yet every summer when the heat wave rolls it, it just about kills me. Thank goodness for parking garages and A/C! You're going to start seeing me in lots of skirts and shorts pretty soon. Now, short and skirts mean I am in desperate need of a tan! I don't tan very easily in the sun (and yes, I wear sunscreen!), and I can never find any lotions or other self tanners that seem to be worth the hassle. Any suggestions?

Here we are again at the end of another month. Time seriously flies! I am definitely excited for summer and all the fun that it brings! I am looking forward to pool time with the girls, movies at the drive in, sno cones, and more daylight. I'm hoping for a weekend getaway or two, and also to find a friend who owns a boat (haha...)! Do any of you have fun plans for the summer?

Work Wear: A Little Leopard

Top- Forever 21, Skirt- H&M (similar), Heels- Forever 21, Necklace- Jeweliq (identical), Watch- Fossil, Bracelet- Glam Grab (similar), Ring- Chloe and Isabel

Today is Thursday so it's time for another work wear post! I am continuing with my theme of showing warm weather appropriate work looks with a peplum top and pencil skirt. Its such an easy combination to put together in any mix of colors or prints. I chose to wear solids on top and bottom this time, but worked in some leopard print with my heels. I definitely consider leopard print to be a neutral, so you can wear it with almost anything! Just be sure to keep it tame for the office by only adding a little bit of animal print to your look.

A Maxi + That's Mine Boutique

Dress- (similar options here, here, here), Wedges- Banana Republic (similar), Necklace/Earrings- c/o That's Mine Boutique

I love a good maxi dress for spring and summer. Its a great way to stay cool while still being covered up. Wear it on a casual Saturday, dress it up with wedges at night, or throw it over your swimsuit for the perfect cover up at the beach or the pool!

I was thrilled when Amy of That's Mine Boutique contacted me about styling one of her gorgeous necklaces and knew this coral and turquoise number would look perfect paired with this geometric maxi dress I already had in my closet. Take a minute to check out Amy's collection on Etsy to see her line of summery beaded statement necklaces, matching bracelets and earrings!
