Sunday Style: Skirting the Issue with a Side of Pineapple

Weird title for my Sunday Style post today, right? Let me explain. Today starts the beginning of the Joyful June Style Challenge and the theme is Skirting the Issue. Naturally I'm wearing a skirt today but a couple of my friends on Instagram also decided that since pineapples are the new thing and that June 1 should be Pineapple Shirt Day. I know, I know it is funny that I would let Instagram dictate what I should be wearing; however, I really didn't have an outfit picked out prior to seeing that we should wear pineapples so I decided why not? 

I actually bought this tee shirt from Loft Outlet back in April and wore it before with a cardigan and jeans. I love remixing my clothes to make them go farther so why not wear it with a skirt and create a new look? 

I'm pairing it with this navy blue pleated skirt from J Crew that I got a while back. I didn't have a navy skirt in my closet other than my sailor skirt so I thought it would be a good investment. I'm wearing the lace up wedges that I got from TJ Maxx and carrying the clutch that is from Francesca's.  At the last minute, I put a belt on the outfit and I am so glad I did! I bought this belt from Loft a couple of years ago and I think it really helps to pull the outfit all together. 

I don't know that I would have ever paired these items together but I love the outcome! I think the tee dresses down the skirt so it's not so formal looking. I can wear the tee with shorts or jeans and wear the skirt dressed up for work as well. The pineapple print on the tee is quirky and a fun addition to my closet. Have you ever mixed up clothing items like this before? Isn't it fun? 

Enjoy these pics from today's outfit:








Hope you all are having a great weekend!

    I'm in love with everything about your outfit. I also like that the fruit trend is coming back again.

Sunday Style: Green

Image
Green is my favorite color. I think it brings out the color in my eyes and it looks great with my skin tone.There's lots of sayings with green in them too. Give the green light. Green thumb. Going green. (Make no mistake- I didn't say Go Green- that's for all you Spartan fans out there). Green around the gills. Green with envy- well, don't be green with envy but I am sitting here in sunny Florida enjoying the warm weather and time with family and friends... This green dress has been hanging in my closet for a while but this was the first time that I got it out. I scored it on a major sale but just haven't had a chance to wear it. I always say why wait for a special occasion?  What I love most about this dress is the neckline. I tell you all the time that it's hard for me to wear a straight skirt or dress and this is no exception. I like the look of it but I do think I'll spend a few more dollars and have it tailored a little more. I paired nude pumps...

Sunday Style: JJ’s House

Image
It’s been said in various ways that clothes don’t make the person, the person makes the clothes. I believe this to be exceptionally true in this beautiful dress that I am wearing in today’s post! This dress literally made me wish that I was heading out to the opera or a benefit dinner. I love that I get to wear and model a lot of clothes and some just feel more special than others. This dress was custom made for me so I got all the feels while I was zipping it up and looking in the mirror. It fits like a glove and I could not be more in love with it!  Let’s talk about  JJ’s House  for a minute. They have all sorts of dresses for special occasions, including bridal wear! I picked out a dress and did my measurements and sent them in with my order. They even called me once to make sure that my measurements were correct so they made sure to make the dress correctly!  This  dress  has gorgeous nude tulle with a black lace overlay. I literally felt like a princes...
