Singing Solitude

Without a doubt, this skirt is one of my favorite pieces in my closet.  The floral border Jenny skirt has been sold out for ages but I was lucky enough to snag one from a lovely Instagram friend.  I decided to wear it with my red peasant top (a la Amanda) because it's truly the perfect pairing.  She always has the greatest outfits and it just so happens that we have a lot of the same clothes in our closets.  Plus, Jenny skirts and peasant tops are pretty much the bread and butter of my wardrobe.  It's the perfect combo!

Sailor Sweet

I'm one of those people who feels like they need a vacation from their vacation.  We came back from Temecula yesterday afternoon and I'm just not ready to start the week yet.  It was a wonderful three days filled with swimming, wine tasting, a Chris Isaak concert, and lots of family time.  It was a much needed departure from our everyday life.  I hope I don't have to wait three more years to take another weekend off!

Amanda Dress

Can't help but love this Amanda dress.  Obviously so, I have it in two colors!  It's a great dress that can be worn casually and is work appropriate, but can also be dressed up for date night.  I personally love the deep pockets, if I can get away without carrying a purse I'm a happy mom.  I prefer this color way over the red, white, and blue, only because I tend to keep this one way cleaner.  I don't know what it is about white, I become a klutz when I wear it!

First Bloom

With the exception of these fabulous shoes, this was the outfit I wore to the office yesterday.  This classic wrap dress from Karina Dresses is perfect for work and any other event I might attend afterward.  The fabric is light, stretchy, and wrinkle free so it looks just as good at the end of a busy day.  I'm pretty sure the neckline is my favorite, it's incredibly feminine and flattering!  This particular dress is a one size fits all, but Karina Dresses makes clothing from XS-2X (and their fabric could easily accommodate larger sizes) and everything is made here in the U.S.  Don't be surprised if you see a lot more of their dresses here in the future!

View From The Afternoon

Let me tell you, this post almost wasn't published.  Yesterday I was having one of those rare no good days.  Nothing was going right, including these pictures.  I'm not one to wear pants regularly (or at all) so I was feeling super self conscious about how I looked.  I was close to just giving up and scratching it all together, but I decided to post it because I actually love wearing this outfit.  I always feel really good when I wear these pants and I'm not going to let one bad mood ruin it!
