WIW: Mint Tutu

Tutu's aren't just for little girls! As a mom of 2 baby girl's I have an abundance of tutu's in my house, but it's not just relegated to the girls. This momma likes to get in one the tutu action every once in awhile too. 

There's nothing more girly then throwing on a tutu. And somedays it's nice to embrace the ballerina inside of us. Call me a dance mom if you must, but dressing my girls up for dance class every week makes me want to do the same. Plus this mint tutu is such a dreamy color, obviously I'm not fully ready to relinquish my Summer wardrobe to the richer hues of Fall. And who says you have to! You bet I'll still be rocking white after Labor Day.

Two-fer Tuesday: The Tunic

This season one of my favorite pieces has to be the tunic. It's such a versatile piece in my eyes. I picked up this particular one at H&M right before we headed to Maui and got so much use out of it. But even since then I've found so many ways and reasons to wear it beyond just being a swim cover up. Plus there are so many fun prints out there right now. Check out these ones that have caught my eye from J. Crew, ASOS, and J. Crew Factory.

Look 1: Boho for the Day

I really enjoy this look for the day. It's a little festival but not so overdone that it can't be worn for everyday errands. 

Look 2: Tunic Turned Dressy

And with a quick change of shoes and a few accessories you're set to go to brunch or even dinner. I actually wore this recently when the Hubs and I went to Paradise Point in San Diego. 

The tunic dress is a forgiving piece and can really work for most body types. Belting it can create shape if you're like me and straight up and down. But it also cinches and gives the appearance of a smaller waist if you've got assets elsewhere. And I even like it alone without all the fuss. 

Outfit Details:

Look 1 - Vest: American Eagle [only in stores, similar here] | Tunic: H&M | Shoes: H&M [similar here and here] | Necklace: Forever 21 | Bracelets: Lotus Blossom Design, Groopdealz | Sunnies: Coach

Look 2 - Tunic: H&M | Shoes: Rock & Republic [similar here] | Belt: Target | Necklace: Luxe Craving | Bracelets: Lotus Blossom Design, Stella & Dot, Betsey Johnson viz Nordstrom Rack

So if you're looking for a versatile piece that will last you all Summer, I definitely recommend trying this look. H&M is constantly updating their stock and I've seen so many great prints all for $12-$15. Which really can't be beat.
Have a great week! And as always thank you for reading! 

What I Wore: Blooming in Kate Spade

Easter was the perfect reason to wear this Kate Spade dress. This has got to be one of the best finds ever at Nordstrom Rack. I picked this dress up a few months ago for around $30. Ridiculous, right!? I can't believe how lucky I was to come across it. I absolutely adore this dress, the cut is just so flattering. It has a beautiful scoop back and the print is so on trend.

When I bought the dress it was a tad too big around the waist and the chest. But not enough that it would deter me from purchasing at only $30. I figured I would either get it taken in or shrink it. And since the material wasn't anything that could get ruined in the wash, I decided to try the latter of the two options. The end product was a perfect fit. So glad I tried that before shelling out money to get it tailored. 

I've found myself needing to try shrinking a lot of my clothes lately. I'm truly grateful that shedding all the baby weight and then some has been easy. But it's getting a bit ridiculous now, I'm starting to feel like a 12 year old boy. Which makes it hard to find clothing that fits, especially bottoms. I actually had to reach out to my good friend, who happens to be very petite, to find some jean suggestions. Would love to hear suggestions from any of you petite gals as well.

What I Wore: St. Patty's Day

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. And hopefully no one was pinched for not wearing green.

Green has to be one of the most flattering colors, not to mention Pantone has dubbed Emerald the color of 2013. So it wasn't hard dressing for St. Patrick's day. 

I love pairing greens and blues together because it's such a classic color combination and so preppy. And a staple of my weekend look is a messy ponytail. No matter what I've got going on a messy ponytail usually does the trick while playing with my munchkins.

My little love bug needed some attention from her momma.

Hoping your week is off to a stylish start!

What I Wore: Gingham + Neon

So my love of neon continues, whether it's neon pinks or yellows, I love them all. These bright hues are fun and can bring any outfit to life. And you don't have to look like you're from the 80's or 90's if you do it right. 

Adding a pop of neon to an otherwise monochromatic look gives the outfit interest and is super chic.

Lately, I've also found myself layering button up tops too. But to keep from looking bulky make sure that the top underneath is a light material and more fitted to your body then the one on top.
