Striped Off the Shoulder Top + Starting of the Semester

One of my favorite trends this year was definitely the off the shoulder tops. I think it's because they're so fun, yet casual. You can dress them up or down and they look perfect paired with jeans, heels, and long, droopy earrings. What's not to love, am I right?

Bell Sleeve Top + Block Heel Lace Up Sandals

Yesterday's weather here in Ohio was absolutely perfect. We've been waiting for this so long! With the amount of times we've been teased with warm weather (and then it is replaced with 40 degrees), we deserve it.

Long Flowing Pink Top + Block Heel Sandals

I don't always love some of the fashion trends, but these block heels are a trend I can get behind! I absolutely love the block heels especially on these shoes. I am so in love with these shoes. I love the neutral taupe color and they are so perfect for this season. If you haven't looked, they're only 29 dollars! I just couldn't resist.

Transition Outfit Into Spring With Black Jeans

While enjoying the wonderful weather, I decided to do an outfit blog post plus a little yard appreciation post. We have tons of beautiful flowers throughout our yard and I wanted to share them with everyone!

I know I'm always talking about these laceup flats and this saddle handbag, but I can't help it! I'm still in love!

Panama Hat For Spring

Spring is finally here in Ohio and here to stay! We've had quite a few warm-ups and then it drops back down and frosts. I'm so happy for 70 degrees, you don't even understand! So, it was a perfect day for Chipotle on the patio and a little makeup shopping with your best friend.

Fashionable Spring Accessories At a Low Price

If you're like me, you've probably been drooling over this adorable Chloe purse for awhile, but you probably don't spend 1,800 dollars on it. Luckily, there are usually dupes for adorable trends!

This adorable saddle style handbag is from Walmart for only 13.97! Although, I can't find the link online, I just found it today. That's not the only thing I found today!

I also found this panama style hat, just like this J. Crew one, at Walmart as well! I also can't seem to find it online, but I know it is in the store!

 New spring accessories? Don't mind if I do! Are there any accessories you're dying to have? Let me know in the comments!

Black Jeans + Blue Denim Top

Denim button up // Black Hollister skinny jeans (only 25 dollars!) 

Last season's polka dot sweater // Soda heeled booties

Small crossbody bag (LOVE this and its under 20!)

Ohio can't decide if it wants it to be spring or winter so I'm so back and forth with my outfits! I go from bright, fun, and springy to 'I just want to be comfy and warm' in a matter of a day. But I love incorporating these black jeans into spring because they're a classic. Also, this denim button up is perfect because its not too heavy and it can be dressed up or dressed down.

The trees that line the streets downtown are finally in bloom (yes, I've been patiently waiting! It's my favorite time!) so I couldn't help but snap a picture along with taking pictures in front of them.

How has everyone's week been so far?! I'm so ready for classes to be done and for it to be summer! I hope your week is wonderful and don't be shy; leave me feedback!

Graphic Tee + Spring Weather

Francesca's Collection shirt which isn't online yet, but is in stores! // Abercombie light wash skinny jeans (love these!) // Black floppy hat (last season) similar, here! // Liz Claiborne flats from JcPenney (last season), but similar, here! // Walmart statement necklace (yes, it's really from walmart) which I can't find online, but I love all of the ones from Francesca's Collections! // L'oreal liquid matte lipstick in blushing ambition 

I hadn't been keeping up with my blog posts when it was cold because in Ohio, it gets too cold for my liking so I never wanted to go and take pictures, but since it's finally spring here, I have so much more motivation to take pictures! So, my dad and I went several places to take pictures to enjoy the spring weather. One of the places was a spot that overlooks the park below and I couldn't resist taking a few more pictures!

And of course, a few at the park!

So, yesterday we took advantage of the warm weather we have been hoping for for the last few months. Although, I can't complain too much because we had a much warmer winter than we've had in previous years.

I jumped onto the bandwagon of front tucking shirts and graphic tees and let me tell you, I love it! Who doesn't love an adorable graphic tee? Also, I love the floppy hat look. They look perfect for a spring look and I'll definitely be incorporating them into my summer outfits. I love these flats because they're so similar to the Tory Burch flats, but at a fraction of the cost! I'm so happy that I can comfortably wear flats again without freezing my feet off. This spring weather is making me beyond excited for summer! If anyone has any feedback, don't be afraid to leave me a comment!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Finally Spring Here In Ohio

Pink Francesca's shirt // Abercombie & Fitch jeans // My scarf is super old, but here's a super cute alternative! // Black laceup flats // Kay ring // Pandora bracelet

While most of the other states have been experiencing beautiful spring weather, Ohio has been behind and finally got out of the 30's. I'm so ready for this winter weather to be gone and the warm weather to stay. So, what better place for pictures than the park? The creek looked gorgeous and was complimented nicely by these little geese.

So, yes, how lucky am I that Ohio warmed up just in time for my spring break? I'm so glad, although, I wish that I was going to the beach. 

I'm so in love with this bright pink top that was a recent pick up from Francesca's Collections. I'm loving the cuffed sleeves, the long back and the fact that it is a V-neck, but it doesn't come down too far. It's perfect! It even comes in other colors if you want a slightly darker color.

Yet again I'm talking about these flats, but I can't help it. They're absolutely perfect! Target recently got a pair and they are adorable. I think they'll be my next pick up. You can find them, here. These laceup flats look perfect with a number of different things, but one of my favorites is pairing them with jeans and rolling the bottoms. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of their day.

White Pants After Labor Day

White American Eagle jeans // Soda booties with tassel zipper // Oatmeal sweater (yes it's from Walmart and less than 10 dollars!) // Target satchel

I know, I break so many fashion "rules" on a day-to-day basis like, pairing navy and black, and gold and silver, but I personally like both of those pairings and I also love white pants in any season. They look perfect with so many outfit combinations! These American Eagle ones are insanely comfortable, too.
In the background, you can slightly see my college campus in the background because what's better than taking your best friend to see your college campus?! Such a great day filled with taking her on a tour, coffee, and Chipotle afterwards. You can still see the piles of snow in the background from Tuesday's snow storm. I'm so over winter and ready for spring! These white pants make it seem like spring is close.
I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!
Xoxo,

My Favorite Bloggers

Do you need a good blog to read, inspiration of what to post, want to know where I get my inspiration from, or need some outfit inspiration?

Blogging is always about inspiration. There are a few blogs I absolutely love and I'm always checking for inspiration for outfits or even posts. Deciding to make a blog didn't just magically pop into my head one day. First. I had followed a few bloggers on Instagram. The more posts they had made, the more I wanted needed to make a blog. Blogging is a way of expressing yourself and I needed that sort of creative way to do so. These are a few bloggers who I had followed for months before committing to making this blog!
