What I Wore: Kids & Karting

The past weekend was my nephew’s birthday celebration where we went to an indoor karting venue and both the adults and kids were able to race. I landed myself in LAST place, but still had such a blast participating!!! I knew I had to be comfortable, but still look cute, so I threw on an adorable wrap blouse with a pair of flared jeans and voila! Casual chic achieved. Now if all decisions in life could be so easy.

Can you believe my amazing braided updo from Blo was still in tact the following day? I wish I could just have one of their stylists at my beck & call to make me always look fabulous.

What I Wore: Swim Week

Funny story about this one. I bought a whole new outfit for Swim Week and was so happy to unveil it. Ha. That morning, while eating my breakfast, I managed to spill food on my new skirt leaving behind the dreaded grease stain. WHY. I tried everything the Internet suggested only for the stain to grow larger and more visible. Ultimate fail. I had to act on the fly and grab an older maxi to replace it with. Hopefully, I still pulled off the effortless boho chic look I was going for.

Only me.

What I Wore: Indie Craft Bazaar

Just recently while shopping with the lovely Fashionable ESQ, I complained that I don’t think I can rock the peplum look very well. She looked at me like I was crazy, and as usual, gave me an ego boost assuring me that I could wear whatever I wanted. I may have rolled my eyes or scoffed at her, but apparently her advice stuck because just this past weekend, I threw on the one peplum item I own and guess what? I liked the way it looked again. Friends are pretty neat.

I wore this outfit to a local craft fair, so look out for a full blown post on my experience later this week!

What I Wore: Lily Dawson

So, as you all can tell, I kind of like this blouse. Just a little. If I could wear it every day, I would. And I knew I had to recreate this outfit using it as soon as humanly possible. Of course, it helped that I added an extra special touch in the form of this gorgeous necklace from Lily Dawson Designs. The rhinestone necklace has this amazing ombre detail that makes it seem like it is on fire. I guess it lives up to its name, the Handpainted Flame necklace. Just call me Katniss Everdeen.

What I Wore: Easter Sunday

I hope you all had a great Easter weekend with those you love the most – I know I did! Although it consisted of a lot of work (man, I’ve been swamped lately), I was able to spend an entire day of quality family time, which was much needed. We even schemed some preliminary plans to head on another cousin adventure to Disney – watch out, Mickey Mouse! Don’t say I didn’t warn you….
