What I Wore: Reset

Sometimes things happen, and they just don’t make any sense. You spend many days and nights reeling, trying to understand why or trying to label it with some sort of significance because there has to be a bigger picture to all this, right? That, in a nutshell, is what has been swimming around in my head for the past week. You would think an outfit post would be the last thing on my mind, but (with the help and gentle nudging of the hubs) I want to try not to push away things that make me happy or are part of my normal routine. My smile may be a little forced, and my glitter a little dull, but I strongly believe I will make it through this very tough time.

What I Wore: Key West

There are very few places I love more than Key West. The laid back, beachy vibe suits me so well. The minute I arrive, I want to head straight to either The Green Parrot or Fat Tuesday, grab a drink infused with some kind of rum, and relax. There is no rush (only for your next drink), no place to be, no dress code. Oh, & it’s beautiful. Especially when the sun is shining and your friends are by your side. Is there anything better? I think not.

A Few Good Flats

Embarrassing fashion blogger confession time: I have no cute flats in my closet. Like, not even a pair of boring black ones.

I know it should be some sort of crime (especially considering that my feet are not big fans of heels), but I am severely lacking in this department. I seem to have replaced them with wedges, but sometimes, you just need something a little more casual and comfy but a little hipper than your every day pair of chucks. Am I right?

I have fond memories of flats past, especially my sequined flats from Old Navy. Remember those? I’d love to find a few affordable and versatile pairs to take their place in my heart, because honestly this is just ridiculous.

Here are some that stood out in my hunt;

1.Wanted Ritzy Pewter Metallic Sparkle Slip-On Flats; 2. Old Navy Glitter Flats; 3. Old Navy Cap-Toe Canvas Flats; 4. TOMS Glitter Slip-Ons; 5. A Gloss for Words Flats

What are your favorite pair of flats?

Squeeworthy: Fun & Girly Prints

Can I just gush about how much I love all the really fun and girly clothing and accessories I am seeing pop around the Internets? From someone that enjoys dressing like a 6 year old (direct quote from my mother), I could not be happier to see lots of loud prints featuring polka dots, hearts and other patterns that are generally left for Kindergarteners to rock.

Here is a compilation I threw together featuring some of my favorites (& they are affordable too!);

1. Asos Bouncing Bunnies sweater $27.27; 2. Top Shop Lightning Bolt earrings $14; 3. Asos heart-shaped buckle belt $18.18; 4. Asos Heart Sweater $63.63; 5. Old Navy polka dot sweater $24.94
