pepperologie event outfit

dress: gap (old but similar here) | jacket: bcbg (old, but similar here) | booties: madewell | purse: j.crew (old, but similar here) | sunnies: ralph | tights: j.crew | necklace: nashelle | bracelets: j.crew, j.crew, lily dawson, charming charlie's, and vintage | rings: vintage and david yurman | earrings: vintage

i was so excited to get to spend a sunday afternoon with one of my favorite bloggers, jessie from style and pepper, at her pepperologie event. we had an absolute blast and i felt so comfortable in this sweatshirt dress and green army blazer. i love the flattering cut of the fit and flare style (it is flattering on any body type). it was still a bit chilly outside, so i paired with look with my black tights and gray suede booties. it's the best way to stay a bit warmer in these chilly spring months. how ready are you, for spring, to really begin!? i know i am. i'm ready to wear fun spring dresses (without the tights) with sandals and a tan!

date night outfit

the hubs and i had a great weekend, spent with lots of friends all over KC. i just love the cute little pockets of this town. we spend friday night out south at blue koi and saturday night down town at our wine club cellar and loft. oh and then a wonderful family brunch on sunday. it was definitely one for the books. 

i posted the above outfit on instagram and thought it might be fun to give you the real details of the outfit. check out the links below.

shirt: jcrew (old) but similar here | skirt: piperlime | booties: madewell | necklace: ruby rouge | bracelet: lily dawson designs | purse: tory burch | tights: target

i just ordered the skirt from piperlime and was so excited to wear it. i wanted to show off my waist and therefore picked a fitted top to tuck into the skirt. then needed the go to black tights and booties to set the proportions, add a some gorgeous accessories and the look is complete.  

what do you like to wear on date nights!?

mix up

shirt: old J.Crew but similar here | skirt: old J.Crew but similar here | heels: BCBGeneration but similar here | watch: Michael Kors but similar here | earrings: J.Crew but similar here | ring: J.Crew but similar here 

This look was inspired by the cooler weather we have been feeling in KC.  I'm excited for the leaves to turn and the pumpkins lattes to enjoy. You can pair a stripe knit with a navy skirt - the skirt can be cotton, wool, or lace. 

How would you mix stripes and textures?

scalloped chev

blouse: Made | pants: J.Crew | heels: J.Crew similar here | earrings: etsy | bracelets: BCBG MaxAzria, Kate Spade, and Charming Charlies

This look was created around this wonderful top. A friend at work wore it, and I almost fell out of my chair when she walked in. A little over the top, maybe, but I mean I just love it. The scallop edge paired with the chevron stripes. Love. This beauty is now only $17.99 - insane! I paired this top with my favorite classic cropped black pant - the J.Crew Minnies. If you don't have a pair, I highly recommend that you go get a pair. They are great with a silk blouse and pumps, or a tee + cardigan and ballet flats.

What are your current obsessions?

gingham girl

shirt: J.Crew | skirt: vintage similar here | shoes: J.Crew | earrings: Forever21 (old) | ring: vintage Tiffany's | watch: Michael Kors | bracelets: J.Crew, Route 66 but similar here 

With about a foot or more of snow on the ground I am bundled up dreaming of spring. So I bring you a look to wear this is meant for much warmer days. I love a classic gingham shirt, it gives a classic look to almost everything. This gorgeous fuchsia color of this skirt caught my attention, when I was out vintage shopping. I was over the moon when I loved the fit. 

The emerald ring I'm wearing on my right hand was a gift from my father to my mama when I was born. My mama gave it to me for my 21st birthday, and is always my go to when I want to feel fancy.

Do you have a family heirloom piece that you love?
