Tribal Prints + Overalls

TRIBAL PRINT TOP | OVERALLS | COMBAT BOOTS

Tribal Prints + overalls might be my new favorite outfit combo. In my spare time this weekend I was playing with hairstyles, and mixing old pieces with new. I decided it was the perfect time to not only bring back the space buns, but also these overalls. I paired my fave overalls with my new, tribal print lantern sleeve top from SheIn. It’s a great piece for spring and it’s only $14.

While it feels like we are all currently living in a state of limbo, I encourage everyone to take a hard look in their closets, and see what old styles you can resurface and repurpose. I 100 percent believe in being an outfit repeater, especially when times are tough (like they are now). Designate a few of your wardrobe must haves to be apart of our Old + New Style Challenge. I challenge all of you to create looks for spring and summer that combine the two, and ultimately save us all some cash money.

So for this edition of the Old + New Style Challenge, nothing beats my 2014 overalls with my 2020 top. Have a great week y’all, and stay home and healthy.

Spring Is Here!

DRESS | BOOTIES

While we’ve been social distancing, a lot is still happening around us. A lot of GOOD, a lot of wonderful things. Spring is here, and that makes me so excited for the season ahead. Although it will definitely be different than any season of life before, it will surely still be beautiful and refreshing.

One thing I’ve been guilty of while in quarantine is online shopping for spring. Who’s with me? I keep finding affordable pieces that I can’t wait to wear when this all ends. This dress being one of them. I scooped it up for UNDER $20, and I thoroughly look forward to wearing it soon.

So since spring is here let’s not forget to embrace the season. Get outside, get fresh air, go for a walk every day, and don’t forget to smile. Browse the internet, look for ways to help, and do a little therapeutic shopping for yourself. Do some of the little things that make you happy.

The Spring Floral Dress You All Need

SPRING FLORAL DRESS | SNEAKERS | BELT

Spring florals of course are a must, but this spring floral print dress is one we ALL need. It’s the most adorable find, and it’s only $20. This piece comes in two colors, and it would be the perfect addition to your spring wardrobe, for more reasons than one.

This is a dress that can easily take on a bohemian feel with booties and a wide brim hat. It’s a dress that can also take on a casual vibe (like I’ve styled it) with sneakers and a funky belt. It can also take on a dressier vibe with nude pumps and and a fitted blazer. Versatility and this floral print dress go hand-in-hand.

Today’s look is a new favorite. I wasn’t 100 percent sure I should style it with sneakers, but turns out I love the way it looks together. I added this fun belt from Calypso Boutique in Lexington, and it completed the vibe I was going for. Naturally I don’t have anywhere to where this dress right now, but I will save it for a sunnier day ahead.

Patternblock Floral Dress

PATTERNBLOCK FLORAL DRESS | SNEAKERS

As I mentioned yesterday, I’m here to keep things light this week in the midst of a very confusing and overwhelming time. I will be posting per normal, sharing some fun spring outfits. It’s the little things that bring us JOY during times like these, so let’s do more of the JOYFUL things, and less worrying right now.

While we’re all quarantined (or hopefully are) to our homes, I hope my outfits bring you some hope for brighter, and happier days ahead. Like this patternblock floral dress, it reminded me of sunshine, flowers and summer days. The colors in this dress just make ya happy. And that’s important when you pick clothing. Wear what makes you happy.

I feel like I might be rambling here, so I will cut this off at this point. I hope you guys love this patternblock floral dress as much as I do. You can easily style this as a tunic over a pair of ripped jeans, and a wedge sandal. You’ve got options girls!
