Guys, the bell sleeve craze, I AM LOVING IT.  I didn't think I would love 70's vibes, nor did I think I could pull it off, but I can't stop wearing this blouse. It is perfect for dressing up jeans or even trousers for work.  

I loved it with this long necklace, but it would look great with a multi-layer necklace.

Happy Spring!

April showers bring May showers... 

The rain just keeps on coming. I will say, everything is beautiful and green but I have had to make some shoe changes in the mornings so I am not a soggy mess when I get to work.  

Two years ago, for my birthday, I REALLY wanted Hunter Boots.  I had y eye on these for about a month.  Long story short, I called a local store to make sure they had my size.  They had one left and asked if I wanted to put it on hold. I said sure, that sounds great.  I went to pick up the boots and they told me that about 10 minutes after I called, a woman came in and wanted to buy them and was throwing a fit that I had them on hold.

It was a Birthday miracle because I was having a pretty rough day that day so it was a great ending to the day.  

I bought the fleece inserts for them and they are REALLY cozy for walking in the snow.  I loved wearing these with casual dresses and can't wait to wear them with some cute jean shorts when it warms up a bit.

Happy Spring!

Sweater- Banana Republic similar

Pants- J Crew Factory

Shoes- Banana Republic $30 option

Bag- Madewell

Necklace- Banana Republic

This is a great spring work outfit.  These pants are SUPER comfortable and give a lot of stretch in all the right places.  I paired it with a really light-weight sweater.  I tend to get cold in offices so I almost always wear long sleeves.  This is the perfect weight for warm weather and chilly offices.  

Don't be afraid to wear bright pants!  I get compliments on these all the time.  J Crew has a ton of colors so go make some Spring and Summer shopping carts.

Happy Wednesday!

Nick keeps it casual with Fossil

Pants- Banana Republic

Shoes- Toms

Bag- Fossil similar

Here is a laid back look Nick wore over the weekend (along with that stubble lol)  Nick owns these pants in about eight different colors.  I am pretty jealous, they are CRAZY soft and can be casual or business casual.  Nick wears them both to work as well as on the weekends because they are more comfy than jeans.
That awesome Fossil bag is perfect for work for Nick.  He really liked that it didn't look like a purse but still has enough room to fit his ipad, small laptop and a few notebooks.

Nail Polish- Essie Cute as a Button

Bag- Kate Spade

This is one of my favorite casual outfits, especially when we are travelling.  I have worn this dress on many of our vacations and its extremely versitile.  I love to style it with a panama hat or a denim jacket for casual.  Go snag yourself a denim jacket for $30 at Target!  You will get your wear out of it.  Also, I am LOVING these tassel earrings.  They are definitely not something I would normally go for, I tend to be pretty conservative and classic with my jewelry but so glad I took the leap and tried these, they add a great statement.

Cool and casual

This weekend we went over to our friends' house to watch the UNC game!  This live in the town where Nick and I went to college so it's always nice to go back and see campus and visit some of the restaurants we used to frequent.

There is a small Mexican restaurant chain that I used to love going to so we went there for dinner before heading out to the game.  It's a good thing we didn't plan to eat while watching the game because there were multiple accounts of Nick leaping off the couch in frustration.  Thankfully the Tar Heels pulled off a W.  Meanwhile, I had a belly full of chips and salsa, just the way I like it.
