Stripes, Hats and Some Inspiration


I have told you guys before that I find inspiration in everything and everywhere. I love to see my friends on Instagram inspiring me so I was happy to find this look of Jessica Alba’s from my friend, Brett @silvrgurl.  My friend, Heather, @stylejourney1, is doing a celebrity inspired challenge over on her page and Brett was participating the other day and posted this look as her inspiration for the day.  Now, I find a lot of inspiration from both of these ladies and I wanted to recreate this look on my own. Coincidentally, it is also a Coast to Coast Challenge day and the theme is Hats Off to You. What a great way to incorporate everything into one look!
I love Jessica Alba’s easy going laid back wardrobe. I like to think that her style is similar in some ways to mine-while our styles are similar, that is all I would compare myself to! She has a couple of kids and her style is carefree and easy for being out and about.
I copied this look of hers with the striped dress and a scarf and sandals. Oh and a fedora! I love the laid back look and feel of this outfit! It’s perfect for the summer and super easy to put together. Here are our looks side by side: 

I took this Target dress from last year and put silver sandals with it and a green oversized bag. I like a lot of color in my outfits so this scarf from Loft with flowers adds a lot of color into the outfit. I also chose colorful beaded bracelets as well. The fedora I got from the Loft Outlet earlier this year and also chose some J Crew sparkly earrings just for more fun. There it is! Easy and carefree for a day at work.
Enjoy these pics of today’s outfit:






Here's a picture of @silvrgurl earlier this week- I love her interpretation too! 
Thanks for reading and following along with me!

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...

If you’re in the DFW area and you want to get to the beach, you can head south a few hours and get to Galveston easily!

I don’t have a ton of recommendations for you yet based on one weekend but the more I go, the more I’ll have!  First things first, where to stay?! There’s a new cute little boutique hotel in town named  Sugar‘s Inn  and I’m obsessed with the cuteness! It’s upstairs of one of Galveston’s finest restaurants  Sugar and Rye . Spoiler alert: I’ll be doing a giveaway with them over on Instagram too! Nothing better than a couple of nights away!

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...
