I love the flexibility of this skirt!  The first time I'd posted an outfit with it, 

I went for a much more casual look using a bold, neon t-shirt (you can check out the post here). But today, I simply changed the top to a button-up and added a little sparkle in my accessories to make the skirt totally work appropriate. I really get the most use out of my wardrobe in that way. I've never been the type of person to distinguish my 'work clothes' from my 'play clothes' - with a few exceptions of course!  I love mixing and matching my wardrobe - which is something I've been working extra hard at lately as I've been trying to keep a close eye on our budget.  You'll hear more about it in a few weeks, but we have some pretty exciting things we're currently working on that have made us pinch our pennies for the time being.  I can't wait to tell you all about it!

Hey guys! So sorry for my absence the last few days!

I had a long weekend and I took road trips to both Nashville (for a

She & Him concert) and to Southern Illinois (for a wedding).  Needless

to say, I've been exhausted!  But now I'm back on my game and ready

to bring you lots of fashion greatness!  Here is a casual look that I

wore yesterday on my day off.  I typically tuck this top into a skirt

(as seen here) because it's so boxy, but yesterday was all about

being comfortable as I recovered from the weekend.  

I hope your week is going great!!

I've been a little extra obsessed with Target recently.  

To be exact, I've visited our local stores 3 times in the last 2 days. 

What's my problem?!  And what's worse (if you can say that any of 

it is a bad thing!) is that I search the entire store over every single 

time as if I've never stepped inside a Target, ever.  I do always seem

to find something new and awesome though!  Today's outfit is nearly

head to toe Target with my top, skirt, and sandals all being recent

finds!  I loved mixing the texture of the lace with the bold pattern of 

the polka dots.  And those glitter sandals, well, how did I not 

already have those?!  Thanks to Whitley from Simply Whit

 in a Sequined Life for the tip that they were available!

 Get them before they're gone, guys!

I love this t-shirt so stinking much. 

I bought it for Tyler a while back but, honestly, I think I get

much more wear out of it than he does.  It just goes with everything.

I loved pairing it with my new comfy skirt that I picked up at Target

recently.  It's such a great, versatile print that I know I'll be remixing 

all Spring and Summer long.  I'm definitely on the hunt for more 

skirts this season.  If you have any recommendations be

sure to leave them in the comments below!!

Have a wonderful week guys!!

What do you wear to a baseball game when it finally feels like

Spring and you really don't even like baseball?  Chambray of course!

Our local minor league baseball team, the Lexington Legends, hosted 

their opening game last night and a big group of us from work went! We

dressed a large group of the staff in tuxedos and in turn we were given an

awesome suite to enjoy the game!  It was definitely a great start to my 

week!  I hope all of yours is off to an equally great start!!

Today I'm so thankful to be celebrating my 100th blog post!!

Thank you all so much for all the fabulous encouragement you've sent

my way over the last 6 months!  This journey has been challenging at 

times and the easiest/most natural thing I've ever done at others.  It would

 have been a wasted endeavor, however, had I not have had you as

 my reader.  So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!

  Here's to the next 100!

I love adding a few girly accessories to an otherwise

simple (yet so cozy!) outfit.  My new pearl ring fits in so well

with my necklace that I've had forever and my pear earrings that I 

wore in my wedding.  And how about my sweet hair bow that was 

handmade by my blogging friend Star from Beauty & Bows?!  She is so 

talented!!  Be sure to check back here tomorrow for a fabulous

giveaway from her!  Hint: there will definitely be bows!!
