neon yellow

I spotted this neon yellow sweater at work last week and it caught my attention 

*everything at work catches my attention, though*

The color definitely scared me since I haven't seen the sun in a while.  Bright colors and a white skin tone . . .  scary.  But I took the plunge and bought it.  Surprising it doesn't look too totally horrible with my white pale skin.  

Regardless of the neon yellow, the sweater is comfortable and my boyfriend jeans were excited to come out of my closet (it was 60 degrees out last week!)   

Hello Spring Time in Spokane!

lazy day outfit

there is not anything as basic as a pair of boyfriend jeans, a striped tee shirt, & a pair of leopard print flats.  this outfit was worn to shop to pick up new khakis for work, pick up chipotle for lunch, & then to nap.  let me just say, it has the check mark of approval for a lazy day.

summer is starting to fade into fall & I absolutely love it.

my summer will be spent like this.

The past 24 years of my life, summers were always hot, sticky, & sweaty.  North Florida is home to the humidity, so my thought process of getting ready is trying to wear the lightest clothes.

In Washington, I have worn shorts twice this summer.  There is no humidity here, so it's always the perfect summer day.  I have realized that boyfriend jeans, and a cute top are my go to outfits for living in the Northwest.

Leavenworth, Washington

 

 

 

 

 

For the weekend, we visited Leavenworth, Washington.  This small town is a German themed town & has the tastiest beer, delicious food, & the best views.  Plus, to make things even better, Cody's parents are in town visiting us & got to make the fun trip out to Leavenworth! We also got to meet up with Cody's uncle out there, so it was fun family trip! 

My post for today is mainly for the awesome views & not so much of my outfit.  So enjoy the beautiful mountain views & my alright ootd post.

sandal season

 

 

I don't have a ton to say for this post.  This is the definition of a very lazy basic outfit.  Cozy cardigan, boyfriend jeans, & a cute necklace to make it look some what .. ya know, cute.

Main point of this post is.. I can finally wear sandals!  My feet have never been happier & the weather is suppose to hit 70 degrees this week.  Let's just say I might have to go shopping for some shorts & a nice tan this week.

seeing things

You definitely aren't seeing things, I am wearing the same exact cargo vest from a couple of posts ago.  I seriously can't help it, it's my favorite extra piece to throw on with my outfits.  

In Florida, layering clothes is as basic as throwing on a scarf because more than likely you will sweat with the extra layers on your body.  With living in Washington, layering is key in picking out outfits.  It's cold & windy but it's not cold enough for a big winter jacket.  You are stuck with layering pieces, & as you can tell.. my J.Crew Factory Green Cargo Vest is my go to layering piece.. 

Back to the point of this post, tonight my Florida State Seminoles are playing in the NIT Tournament (yes, I know it's not the real tournament but they are  my team through thick and thin), so I had to rock my maroon, so I wore my striped sweater & threw on my garnet & gold necklaces.  Plus, check out my Bourbon & Boweties FSU bracelet & my Alex and Ani FSU bracelet.

Go Seminoles!

pieces to make a perfect outfit

I am a huge fan of chambray tops & an even bigger fan of slouchy t - shirts.  Then when you add your favorite pair of boyfriend jeans plus a new sparkly necklace that you just had to have from a new favorite online store. .. 

Well you have yourself a perfect outfit.  These are my favorite outfit pieces to wear.  It's perfect for morning coffee, shopping with your mamma through text (I swear it's a lot more fun to shop with your mamma in person but when you live on the other side of the nation, you have to find ways to shop with your favorite shopping person), or to just play in the back yard with your favorite puppy..

For the last kicker, today in Spokane it was 55 degrees outside.  I jumped for joy because of how warm it was outside.  Come on 75 degrees, I need a TAN!

plaid & fur

This is a good definition of my comfy + cute outfit.  I wore this outfit to dinner with friends a couple of nights ago (but no pictures were taken, so it's like it never happened).  For this afternoon, when we went sight seeing in Spokane, I  wore my new fur vest from Brina Box!  It is the perfect vest to throw over any outfit that needs an extra push to make it look 100%!  

I have never worn a printed t -shirt underneath a button - up plaid shirt, so this is me taking a little fashion risk with trying new styles! What does everyone think of it? Would you try it out?!

This weekend, I was blessed to get a visit from my little sister.  We went down town to Spokane River Front to walk around & eat lunch & shop some!  I am so excited to show Brooke around this town & share some quality sister time together
