Neon, Neutrals, Stripes, and Studs

{dress: Eloquii via Gwynnie Bee | studded blazer: gordman's | booties: lane bryant | necklace: jewelry nut | clutch: thrifted}

I wore this outfit to my little sister's engagement party on Saturday night! It was just festive enough, but without sacrificing edge.  Yes, I am that girl who thinks adding studs to a completely girly outfit makes you edgy.  Aaaanywho, the party was a raging success with the most delicious food ever and a delightfully silly champagne toast given by yours truly.  I rarely wear neturals, but I think with the tiny pop of neon this outfit really works for me.  I love the muted tones.  Do you gravitate towards neutrals or loud pops of color?

P.S.  I don't know if all of you feel the same way Memphians feel about our hometown boy, Justin Timberlake, (which is lots and lots of mushy gushy love) but I love his whole CD especially the second radio release:

Fun Florals & Easter Eggs

{dress: Spense via Gwynnie Bee | shoes: Payless | belt: Lane Bryant | necklace: Eclectic Ornaments | bracelet: dots | clutch: gift}

Such a fun dress for Easter! (Thanks, Gwynnie Bee!)  I saw this and I knew it was the perfect dress to bring in the spirit of Easter (the Reese's PB eggs helped a lot, too!) Although, the cold and rainy day did not really oblige.  I'm not really breaking any ground here by saying that I am super obsessed with mint green lately.  From my bubble necklace, to my new purse, and now this dress!  I cannot get enough!! I think that mint green is even in the talks for my sister's bridesmaid's dresses. 

Cue the Hallelujah chorus.

Ozzy even dressed up for the occasion... that little prince.

Simple and Casual (and Twizzlers)

{jeans: tj maxx | white tee: old navy | army vest: old navy | flats: tory burch | necklace: accessory concierge | sunglasses: michael kors}

I don't know what is more simple than a white tee and jeans!  Meanwhile, I refuse to go a week without wearing my green vest... so throw that in and you have my outfit.  Badabing! Seriously folks, I will cry when this baby (eventually) gets lost or horribly damaged from my love.  There are two things I just don't think I can live without: my green army vest and sweet and sour Twizzlers. Currently, I am off Twizzlers (I KNOW???!!!!!!) so be prepared to see the vest reappear again soon.
Don't forget there are two giveaways open to my little chickens! BE sure to enter!! $200 Piperlime Gift Card Giveaway AND $100 Etsy/$100 Amazon/$100 PayPal/$30 Target GIVEAWAY!

Happy Tuesday, my little chickens! Boy, I have missed you all!  I took of for the weekend a little early, and I am just now getting my life in order on a Tuesday morning.  Go figure.  The summertime cannot come soon enough. I won't even talk about the weather (sans this sentence) because the two of us cannot see eye to eye and are not speaking.  I have a lot of new chickens around these parts, so I just want to say HELLO to you!  Also, let me introduce you to one of my favorite pastimes: pattern mixing!

This outfit was so fun and the perfect, peppy outfit to run around downtown and grab lunch with some family and friends.  Gotta love Gwynnie Bee because I probably never would have grabbed this dress off of a rack, but I loved it in when I tried it on! It was so comfortable, too! If you don't know much about my love affair with Gwynnie Bee... it is like Netflix for clothes.  I fill out my online closet with styles I adore and want to try, and they send me three at a time that I can switch unlimited amounts!  It basically gives me the walk-in closet without breaking my teeny tiny little teacher salary. 

 See more of my GB outfits here.

Happy Tuesday :)
