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?

These pieces are classic. The crew neck cotton sweater and the a-line pleated midi skirt are great pieces you can buy in any color to wear over and over again.

summer classics

chambray: J.Crew | jeans: Madewell | necklace: J.Crew | purse: J.Crew but similar here | shoes: Marshall's but similar here | watch: Michael Kors but similar here

This is a great outfit for every day. The chambray shirt and white denim are both a great staples for every wardrobe. You can wear this look on a casual Friday or a fun night with the girls. All you'll need to do is change up the accessories. For the last few days of summer you can wear a statement necklace and brown sandals.  For fall, tall tan boots with a printed scarf,  would finish this look off just right.

dressy casual

top:  Loft and similar here | vest: Old Navy and similar here | boyfriend jeans: Big Star and similar here | shoes: BCBGeneration and similar here | watch: Michael Kors and love this one | necklace: Topshop | sunnies: Ralph

I found this lace peplum top during holiday and wore the heck out of it. When it started to get warmer  I was excited to wear my linen and light weight cotton - I hadn't noticed this lace peplum top for awhile. Then I thought - how can I make this wintery favorite a fun pick for summer? So, I played it up with some casual pieces to down play the dressy feel. 

What wintery pieces would like to wear now?

blazer + maxi

dress: BCBGeneration (old) but similar here | blazer: Anthropologie (old) but similar here | shoes: BCBGeneration (old) last worn here and similar here | earrings: Kendra Scott | necklace: Stella and Dot | watch: Michael Kors | bracelet: Charming Charlie but similar here 

This outfit I wore for a family bridal shower this past weekend, and the blazer + maxi dress combo was a hit. The weather was a bit gloomy in the morning, so I wasn't really fellin' the cute little dress (I had originally picked out). This look I am kind of obsessed with now. I mean what better than a spring maxi, to keep you covered and a structured blazer to even out the look. Easy, and I will definitely be wearing the blazer + maxi combo again soon!

What's your favorite combo?

This cute gold stripe knit was one of my NY finds. I had a blast hoping around the city and popping into every J.Crew I could find. The simple stripe style of this boat neck knit with the foiled gold is a great classic that will look good with just about anything, especially leopard pants.

This outfit post was from our second day in NYC. I tried to pack pieces that would be easy to layer and mix and match - depending my the weather and my mood:) This girl loves some options. The black minnies with a black and white gingham shirt is a classic look that will work for just about every woman. P.S. How much do you love this front entry?

What's your favorite classic look?

jacket: Forever 21 | dress: The Limited | bag: J.Crew | shoes: Ann Taylor | necklace: J.Crew | bracelets: stella and dot, J.Crew | watch: Michael Kors 

This was my look for our Broadway show. We saw the Phantom of the Opera and we all loved it. I found this dress at The Limited and I almost died when I saw it. It reminded me of the Kate Spade dress from holiday - that everyone, including me was dying over. I knew the classic black and white stripes would be perfect for our night out in NYC. I've had this jacket for a long time and it comes in super handy whenever I have special nights out. The show way amazing and I can't wait to go back?

What's your favorite thing to wear on a special night out?

you can take the girl out of oklahoma...

top: J.Crew | skirt: J.Crew | sandals: Target | sunnies: Ralph | watch: Michael Kors | bracelet: Stella and Dot

necklace: Etsy 

"But you can't take the Oklahoma out of the girl."  Yes, I do live in Kansas City, and I absolutely love it! But, there is nothing like being back in OK. The rich sunsets of warm oranges mixed with cool blues, the whistling wind that's always blowing. It's a great place to be to recharge and gain perspective.

Kev and I made a trip back to OK to visit his family for Easter, and a family baby shower for Kevin's cousin Julie. We had a blast cooking and getting ready for the shower. It was a wonderful time to see everyone.

On the way into OK, I joking asked Kev about doing a photo shoot at the Oklahoma sign, and he loved the idea! I was so excited / nervous about hopin' out on the side of the highway. But, it was exhilarating and a lot of fun! I mean, what Oklahoman doesn't want to take a pic with this sign every time they drive by. haha.

So back to the outfit, the top I loved! J.Crew was having one their 40% sale promos going on, and a girlfriend told me she had ordered this top, and I had been thinking about it, so I ordered it too. Then we got them on the same night, and ended up wearing to work on the same day! This skirt is a great piece that I would love in any color! It's an easy piece that you can wear basically anywhere.

What regenerates you, and gets your mind back on track?

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!! I hope you got to enjoy this weekend! I love the color green, and any excuse to wear it. 2013, is going to be a good year, thanks to Pantone for making emerald the color of the season. And onto the sandals...I saw these beauties on instagram and new that I had to have them. I mean, they are the perfect casual mix of g litter and caramel. I tracked them down at my first stop a few weeks ago. But, was finally able to slip them on, this weekend, thanks to the warm weather that blew through Kansas. 

What piece are you excited to wear, when it warms up more?
