.:A Walk in the Vineyard:.

This post may be a bit rambly…I've been working non-stop trying to close my classroom out for the school year and am having issues formulating decent sentences! :)  

The future H and I went for a walk around the family's vineyard next to our house…It's so gorgeous and we feel so lucky to have it in our backyard!

Back to clothing...

Do you ever have a clothing combo that you just can't seem to quit wanting to wear?  Lately for me, it has been the combination of leopard and camo. 

By the way, this leather jacket is by far my favorite of any that I have worn.  It is so incredibly soft and goes with everything.

.:Royal Blue:.

 //Dress:  Dex ℅ // Belt:  Gap (similar) // Flats:  J.Crew (Factory Version)// Cardigan:  Anthropologie (old; love this)//

Blues have always been my favorite color to wear.  However, most of the time, my favorite shade has been of the turquoise variety.  Lately, I find myself extremely gravitated toward cobalt.  This dress is so fun and it doesn't hurt that it's in my newfound color love.  Hope your week is going exceptionally well!  I've been busy finalizing wedding details and wrapping up the year in first grade here with grading, report cards, student records, and end of the year shenanigans.

.:Chambray Stripes:.

//Shirt:  J.Crew Factory (super similar) // Necklaces:  J.Crew (identical here & here) // Skirt:  Loft (old; love this one) // Heels:  J.Crew (old; craving these desperately)//

I go through phases of extremes.  I either love super comfy, cozy boyfriend-esque looks or those that are filled with supreme amounts of femininity.  This week seems to hold a feminine feel.  I find myself drawn to skirts like crazy.  I would love to add quite a few more to my wardrobe as I always tend to feel better about myself when I'm dressed in one with heels on.  What outfit type makes you feel the best?

.:My Two Faves:.

//Sweater: Loft (on super sale- I got mine for $12) // Skirt:  J.Crew (old; nearly identical…maybe even cuter) // Wedges:  Jessica Simpson (old; LOVE these) // Necklaces:  ILY Couture & J.Crew (similar)//

To me, there's no easier combo than dots and stripes.  I love combining a loose print (like dots) with a more structured one (like stripes) in a similar color.  Dots and stripes are my comfort zone and I always seem to go back to them.

.:Simple:.

//Dress:  J.Crew (on sale!) // Necklace:  Nest (sold out online but on sale in stores; this season's version) // Shoes:  J.Crew (old; love these) // Cardigan:  Loft (old; similar)//

Sometimes, a simple black dress is all you need to feel fabulous.  I am utterly in love with this wetsuit-like material one from J.Crew.

.:Cobalt:.

//Dress:  Banana Republic (on sale!) (super similar) // Heels:  J.Crew (old) // Necklace:  Nest via Neiman Marcus//

I am so elated that the weekend is almost here!  It's been a scorching 105* most of the week and I've so enjoyed wearing dresses/skirts this week!  I cannot wait to spend some time at home in the sun this weekend!  Hope your week was amazing!

xoxo,

.:On Repeat:.

Sweater: J.Crew Factory // Skirt:  Banana Republic (on sale in stores now!) // Shoes:  Kohls (love these) // Necklaces (top to bottom):  J.Crew Factory & Turban Space c/ o//

Sometimes we fall in love with pieces that we can't help but wear over and over again. When I got this skirt a month ago (which it is now available on sale in stores), I knew it would be on constant repeat. To keep these kind of repeated looks look fresh and new, I often change out the shoes and jewelry to help breathe a breath of fresh air into an otherwise "old" look. 

Xoxo,
