WIW: Blueprints

I'm so exited to be sharing with you this look, mostly because I love these shorts. I found these babies while scouring the racks of Marshalls. I was so happy they were exactly my size, I don't have a pair of floral shorts and was actually thinking I needed a pair. 

There are so many outfit possibilities with these shorts. And print mixing was the first thing that came to my mind when I spotted these shorts. Who doesn't love a little print mixing, right?

Vegas Weekend Outfitted in Mint and Neon

So our Vegas vacation was a short and sweet getaway for the weekend. We just got home this afternoon and I couldn't be happier to see my girls. Seeing their little faces light up when they saw the Hubs and I was the best thing ever.  As I said last week, I'm trying to pack more practically in preparation for our week long Muai vacation in April. In doing so, I attempted to pack only outfits in mint and neon. Therefore lessening the number of accessories and shoes I would have to bring. And also giving me more room for shopping! We all know that's the real reason for packing lightly. Vegas shopping is ridiculously amazing, can't ever resist. That's why once we checked into our hotel, it was time to start shopping. It only made sense since the Hubs wanted to take a quick nap and I can never resist the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace.

My airport/shopping attire:

Enjoying margaritas and these legs. 

Attempting to pack only things that matched my mint and neon color palette, actually did make it much easier to decide on what outfits to take. And surprisingly it was the first time that I actually wore everything I packed, aside from a dress that it was too windy for. I found using this method rather helpful. It definitely took less time to pack too. 

So to all of you who are heading on vacation and wanting to pack lightly, give this a try.
